A north Durham neighborhood with homes, shops and restaurants
Stretching northward from Interstate 85 for nearly 3 miles, Omah Street is a north Durham neighborhood that shifts in character from end to end. Close to the interstate, an apartment complex sits between commercial and industrial businesses. Heading north, long blocks of single-family homes blend into townhouse communities, filling the space between shopping centers and an elementary school. The rest is mostly undeveloped land. This variety draws in homebuyers with different budgets and wish lists. “It’s a very convenient location,” says Jeanette Hussey, a lifelong Durhamite, whose West & Woodall Real Estate office neighbors the community. “In northern Durham, you get a little bit larger lot sizes. So, people looking here want a little bit more space.”

Hillandale and Guess Roads have national chains and local flavor
Omah Street residents don’t have to drive far for a bite to eat or to pick up groceries. Retail strips line Hillandale and Guess Roads, the neighborhood’s west and east boundaries. Harris Teeter, Food Lion and familiar national retailers draw shoppers to the Willowdaile and Cross Creek shopping centers.

Locally loved neighborhood businesses include Deep Roots Natives, a garden center on a mission to provide everyday homeowners access to native plant species, and Crafts & Drafts, a self-described DIY bar and bottle shop where customers let out their inner artist with self-guided craft kits while enjoying a pint of beer or a glass of wine.
