About the area

Suburban / QuietTree-LinedFamily-FriendlyCar-Dependent

Forest Oaks is a serene, tree-lined residential community in South Durham consisting mostly of single-family homes and townhomes built in the latter half of the 20th century. It offers an easy suburban feel with convenient driving access to Research Triangle Park, Duke University, and regional shopping centers.

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.
