About the area

Quiet ResidentialTree-LinedSuburban EnclaveCar-Dependent

The Downs is an established residential neighborhood in southwest Durham characterized by townhomes, single-family houses, and mature tree cover. It offers a quiet suburban setting positioned conveniently between downtown Durham, Duke University, and Chapel Hill.

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.
