Suburbia and accessibility in Woodcroft
There is no shortage of foliage in Woodcroft, a cul-de-sac neighborhood of rolling hills with a name that matches its surroundings. “There are trails that wind through the wooded areas of the neighborhood, which is its most popular amenity and is very pretty and scenic,” says Nikki Rice, a real estate specialist with EXP Realty, who has sold in the area for 18 years. “It’s one of the more established neighborhoods in Durham because most homes were built in the 1980s. There’s also a huge range of housing – everything from single-family homes to condos and townhouses.” Woodcroft’s suburban nature and prime access to nearby Interstate 40 make for an ideal combination for newcomers.
Homes for every budget are available in Woodcroft.

Price points range from $350,000 to $550,000. New construction is starting to be developed in one of Woodcroft’s eastern subsections and is the most expensive option in the neighborhood, selling for $845,000 to $900,000.

Woodcroft Trail and Woodcroft Club offer outdoor recreation
Locals pass each other on the Woodcroft Trail, which spans 5 miles throughout the neighborhood’s wooded areas. Bikers and runners can get fresh air along the pathways connecting to the larger American Tobacco Trail. People can explore the surrounding areas along this peaceful, off-road trail developed along an old railroad track. Head south to reach the shopping at the Streets at Southpoint or traverse the northbound sliver of the trail that stretches to downtown Durham. Each of the trails also passes community pocket parks. Both Solite Park and Piney Wood Park feature playgrounds for kids to burn off some energy. Solite Park is a popular spot among hoopers for its basketball court, while Piney Wood Park is where locals head to play a round of pickleball or let their pups run around the dog park. During the summer, kids flock to the slides and rock-climbing wall in the swimming pool at Woodcroft Club. Though separate from the neighborhood, locals can join the club to take advantage of its other amenities, including tennis courts, a fitness center and social get-togethers. Everything from wine tastings to movie nights and breakfast with Santa is held at the club annually.
