Go, stay aware

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Crest Street is a historically significant, close-knit residential pocket nestled right against Duke University Medical Center. While daytime visits to the local park or nearby dining along Erwin Road are straightforward, visitors should exercise standard urban caution, especially after dark.”

About the area

Historic PocketResidentialUniversity AdjacentQuiet Streets

Crest Street is a small, historic African American community in west Durham bordered by the Durham Freeway and Duke's medical and West campus facilities. The neighborhood features modest single-family homes, townhouses, and a central community park, framed by rapid institutional and medical corridor development.

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.
