The community has homes built during the 1920s through the past decade. “Home prices are affordable when you’re looking at Durham as a whole,” says Charles Davies, broker and realtor of Davies Real Estate Group with Keller Williams Elite Realty.

Contemporary builds can range in the high $500,000s to high $900,000s, while grand Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals go for $1 million to $4 million.
