Homes like bungalows to grand estates
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. Davies is based in Durham but also sells in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Townhouses and bungalows might sell in the low $100,000s to low $500,000s. 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. Some of the most expensive homes in the area don’t have HOAs, but subdivisions like Hope Valley Farms charge around $30 a month, while Dunbarton charges around $405.

You can get to Chapel Hill pretty easily, the airport easily. Everything is almost in a 10- to 15-minute drive.” Commuters in the area might drive:
4 miles to Duke University and its hospital, one of the city's leading employers for education and medical science.
8 miles to jobs in the Research Triangle Park.
9 miles to Chapel Hill, home of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
13 miles to Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
