About the area

Historic / Tree-LinedArchitecturalQuiet ResidentialUrban Edge

Morehead Hill is one of Durham's oldest historic neighborhoods, defined by grand early 20th-century architecture, tree-lined streets, and a strong sense of community. Situated immediately southwest of Downtown Durham, it offers a peaceful residential feel within walking distance of the American Tobacco Campus.

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.
