About the area

SuburbanCar-DependentQuiet / ResidentialIndustrial Pockets

Bethesda is an expansive, car-dependent neighborhood located in southeast Durham adjacent to Research Triangle Park. It features a blend of established mid-century single-family homes, newer suburban developments, local service businesses, and industrial parks.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
