Durham

Durham, the youngest of the Triangles three key cities, was originally called "the flower of the Carolinas" in 1700 by explorer John Lawson, because of its beginnings as a small farming community. Today, it has developed into the fourth largest city in North Carolina.

Sports, entertainment, the arts - wherever your tastes lead, Durham has it. World class facilities like the Durham Performing Arts Center, the Durham Bulls Athletic Park and Duke University’s Nasher Museum of Art along with nearly 100 City-owned parks and recreation facilities, along with the reasonable cost of living all come together to make Durham a great place to live.
