About the area

Quiet SuburbanFamily-FriendlyMid-CenturyTree-LinedCar-Dependent

Parkwood is a historic planned subdivision developed in the late 1950s and 1960s, defined by sprawling ranch homes, mature trees, and quiet cul-de-sacs. Positioned near Research Triangle Park and the intersection of NC-54 and NC-55, it attracts families and professionals looking for stability and easy highway access. Its calm atmosphere and community lake make it one of South Durham's most traditional suburban pockets.

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.
