What single-family homes and townhouses cost in the neighborhood
Single-family homes in the neighborhood include ranch-style houses, cottages and Cape Cods from the mid- to late-20th century. Lot sizes average over a quarter acre, and tall trees surround the homes, providing shade and a natural setting in the neighborhood. "In northern Durham, you get a little bit larger lot sizes. So, people looking here want a little bit more space," says Jeanette Hussey, a lifelong Durhamite and broker at West and Woodall Real Estate. Townhouses are also common, offering a more compact, lower-maintenance option. Single-family homes typically range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$400,000s, while townhouses can cost between the upper $100,000s and the mid-$200,000s.
