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.”

Croasdile is conveniently located near 15 miles from Research Triangle Park.

Driveways, either concrete or gravel, sometimes lead into garages and carports. Prices start at $230,000 and can reach $490,000.

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. At Croasdaile Commons, Bleu Olive is a date night spot for contemporary Mediterranean dishes, while traditional Mexican fare is on the menu at El Corral a few doors down. 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.
Cross Creek Shopping Center in the Duke Homestead neighborhood is home to many national stores.
Whether you want to dine-in or get your food to go, Italian Pizzeria is one of the popular restaurant options in Willowhaven.

The Durham Lions Club hosts an annual Pancake Jamboree
The Durham Lions Club calls Omah Street home. The service-based community organization, which has been meeting in its building along Hillandale Road since 1975, hosts Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, birthday parties and corporate retreats. Its long-running Pancake Jamboree fundraiser, held on Election Day, has members flipping pancakes all day long at the Durham Armory downtown. The money raised supports the group’s various projects helping the visually impaired and area families in need.
Parks in north Durham include West Point on the Eno Park
While no parks are within Omah Street, several green spaces are a short drive away.

Visitors walk through nature and history at Duke Homestead, a historic farm owned by tobacco tycoon Washington Duke in the 1800s. West Point on the Eno Park offers riverside hikes to popular summer swimming holes. “People walk around and go stand in the river,” Hussey says. More outdoor adventures, from camping to fishing, are nearby at Eno River State Park, about 6 miles west of the neighborhood.
