Convenient suburban living in northside Durham
About 5 miles north of downtown Durham and just 13 miles north of regional employment hub Research Triangle Park (RTP), Weaver offers easy commuting distance to major local and regional employers. According to Carla Sevilla, a local Realtor with Chanticleer Properties, its commutability is a large part of the neighborhood’s appeal to homebuyers. “What really makes the community unique is that it’s on the north side of Durham, where they’ve been expanding. So you’re close to Duke Health and Duke University, you can get downtown or to RTP very quickly, and you’re also close to all the new shopping and dining nearby,” she says. And, of course, being this close to downtown Durham has more perks than just making it easy to get to work. Sevilla: “It’s got a vibrant nightlife and food culture. There are so many up-and-coming restaurants, as well as the Durham Center for the Performing Arts and Durham Bulls baseball. All of that just adds to the appeal of not just this area, but the city in general.”
Durham’s vibrant city center is about 5 miles from Weaver.

Homes to suit a wide price range
Weaver comprises several smaller subdivisions, including communities like the Villages at Independence Park, which feature both townhomes and standalone single-family homes. Sevilla says that some sections of the Villages at Independence Park were built in the late 2010s, while others are still under construction. “There are a few hundred homes in that particular subdivision,” says Sevilla, adding that prices start at around $285,000 for townhomes without garages and inch closer to $350,000 for townhomes with single-car garages. Standalone homes tend to be the priciest in the community, going for between $400,000 and $500,000. In older subdivisions, such as Old Farm, late midcentury split-level and ranch-style homes sell for between $330,000 and $560,000. "It's a relatively affordable part of town," says Realtor Thomas Kortus of Nest Realty.
Weaver is an urban, wooded community south of the lovely Eno River.

Easy commuting to downtown or the RTP
Weaver is perched about 5 miles north of downtown Durham, a drive that can take around 15 minutes, depending on traffic. Both US Route 501 and Business Route 501, which run nearly parallel to each other along the neighborhood’s west side, connect south toward downtown. Duke Regional Hospital is located between the business route and Rock Quarry Park. It’s within a couple miles of most homes. Research Triangle Park (RTP), a major regional employment hub, is about 13 miles south of Weaver. That’s about a 30-minute commute in light traffic. “There are a lot of tech, biotech and bio-medical firms headquartered in RTP. It’s a big draw to the three different points of the triangle in this region,” says Sevilla, adding that Weaver’s location just 30 minutes away is a large part of its appeal to homebuyers.

Oxford Commons shopping and downtown dining
North Roxboro Street, a main thoroughfare that runs down the length of Weaver’s west side, is lined with shopping and dining options. In the North Duke shopping center, on Roxboro at the north end of the neighborhood, there’s a Staples and a Roses Discount Store. About a mile and a half south, there’s a Food Lion in the Oxford Commons shopping center. National chain eateries are scattered along North Roxboro between the two strip malls, from Chick-fil-A and Zaxby’s to Five Guys and Subway. “There’s a new Starbucks and a new Chipotle, too,” says Sevilla. But for “upscale dining,” she says most locals head downtown. NanaSteak is one of her personal favorite downtown restaurants. The eatery serves up elevated, North Carolina-inspired steaks and seafood. It won the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2023 for its well-appointed wine list.

Recreation abounds, from the Eno River to the Museum of Life & Science
The Eno River meanders along Weaver’s northern edge. River Forest Park sprawls over nearly 70 acres of the riverfront, featuring a web of rustic trails, a multiuse athletic field and a basketball court. At the south end of the neighborhood, Rock Quarry Park offers additional outdoor recreational amenities, from a playground and a fully fenced dog park to tennis courts and picnic areas. The adjacent Edison Johnson Recreation and Aquatics Centers make for plenty of opportunities to stay active indoors. The rec center has a fitness room and a reservable racquetball court; the aquatic center offers swim lessons and other water programming in its 8-lane indoor pool. Nearby, the Museum of Life & Science has captivated local kids and adults alike for decades. “I grew up going there. It’s a mainstay in Durham,” says Kelsey Kearney, an Allen Tate Realtor. One of her favorite exhibits is the butterfly house, where these colorful, fluttering insects are free to fly around and occasionally land on an admirer. The Ellerbe Creek Trail connects through Rock Quarry Park, past the museum and across West Murray Street toward another, more secret local gem: Durham’s Hidden Dinosaur. This towering fiberglass brontosaurus is a kind of fossil in its own right: a relic from the Museum of Life & Science’s original Dinosaur Trail.
Rock Quarry Park has a nice walking path leading to a dog park.
