Major Neighborhoods in Durham

Part of the "Research Triangle Region," Durham is booming, most known as the home of various tech companies and famous universities. If you’re moving here to attend Duke University, a visit to the Nasher Museum of Art on campus is a must. And if you’re a nature aficionado, you’ll love the Museum of Life + Science, where wildlife exhibits and a butterfly house are yours to explore. Regardless if you're here for school, work or pleasure, navigating your move will be a lot easier if you hire one of Durham's professional moving services that service the entire Triangle-area.

Downtown Durham

Downtown Durham is the city’s economic engine, and there's honestly no shortage of things to do. In fact, you may have already heard the area is a tech hub for companies like IBM and Cisco, but there's a lot more here — try 5 Points Gallery for some fine art exhibitions, or the Boxcar Bar & Arcade, a legendary local bar with tons of video games to go with your drinks! (Club ERA is a standout for nightlife in the area, if that's your jam.) Local events in Downtown Durham are always going on, so look for tried-and-true Durham moving services to get your stuff to your new spot while avoiding the crowds.

Ninth Street District

Affectionately known as “Durham’s Greenwich Village,” life in Ninth Street Durham is never dull. It's a friendly, walkable college neighborhood; locals suggest food at Blue Corn Café, brews at Cosmic Cantina, and hair (!) at Blue Bamboo Hair Salon. It's also home to the highly recommendable Durham Farmer’s Market, which is an institution for the locals. Since this neighborhood is near the college campus, it’s a good idea to hire local movers in Durham, NC who know the school schedule (and how to avoid the semester traffic) like the back of their hands.

Duke Park

If you crave quiet suburban life and historic charm, Duke Park is the place to be. Don't let this small, quaint community fool you, there is a lot to do, including the famous Beaver Queen Pageant and the luminaria-filled Night of Lights festival. The park where this neighborhood gets its name is also a popular gathering place in its own right, and is the dog park of choice for all of Durham's favorite furry friends. (You can also bring your dog to Duke Park Trailhead for an easy day of hiking.) If you’re planning to relocate here, an experienced Durham moving company will get the job done swiftly.

Forest Hills

Forest Hills is a historic district, home to the original campus of Durham Academy and the Mary Duke Biddle Estate, an impressive 1927 Tudor-style home. Although Forest Hills is a small suburban neighborhood, you’ll have easy access to two parks, including Forest Hills Park and Lyon Park Playground — perfect for parents with kids or anybody who loves a scenic walk. If you’re moving to the notably beautiful Forest Hills area, get professional movers do you can have the whole package: the easiest move possible into your beautiful home.
