Woodcroft is a quiet neighborhood to come home to

Condos, townhouses and single-family homes shaded by tall trees

Throughout Woodcroft, you’ll see Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and Craftsman homes. There are also townhouse communities and condos in the Chimney Ridge at Woodcroft complex. “It’s one of the oldest planned communities in Durham,” says Charles Davies, broker and realtor of Davies Real Estate Group with Keller Williams Elite Realty. “They have different styles of homes, townhouses, a clubhouse, soccer fields here I used to play soccer back in the day.” Condos are the cheapest option, usually selling in the low $100,000s to low $200,000s. Townhouses can go in the low $200,000s to low $600,000s, depending on the size. Homes with around 2,000 square feet or less range from the low $200,000s to mid-$400,000s, while larger properties sell in the upper $400,000s to low $900,000s.
