City living close to campus
Campus Hills overlooks North Carolina Central University and Durham Technical Community College from just south of the Durham Freeway and downtown. It’s also a short drive east of Duke University. “I don’t know about the hills, but at least half of Campus Hills’ name is accurate, that’s for sure,” says Seth Roberts of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. The Realtor, who grew up in Durham, says that this neighborhood has not always been considered the “safest,” but that things seem to be changing. At 5 out of 10, the CAP Index crime score for Campus Hills is just slightly higher than the national average of 4. “There’s a lot of revitalization happening around this area,” Roberts says. “Driving through, you’ll see homes that have been heavily updated and even new construction.”
NCCU is a public historically black university in Durham,NC.
Durham Technical Community College provides high-quality, and affordable and education.

An increase in new construction and home renovations
Home styles here run the gamut of 20th and 21st-century residential architecture, from midcentury Minimal Traditional cottages and ranch-style bungalows to early 2000s Traditional homes and townhomes. There are even a few angular, Contemporary new builds. “It’s a diverse area. You have everything from older homes that have been renovated to smaller lots,” says Cristine Allison, a Realtor with Bespoke Realty Group with nearly a decade of experience. She adds that Campus Hills homes sell quickly. Roberts agrees, explaining that the area’s convenient location has drawn the attention of both homebuyers and investors lately. But it’s not just convenience that keeps homes here from staying on the market long. “It’s a genuine interest in older neighborhoods and older homes,” says Roberts. “People are just more interested in established neighborhoods than new, cookie-cutter developments.” Prices here vary depending on home size, age and condition. Midcentury ranch-style homes can run anywhere from $240,000 to $460,000, while Traditional homes and Contemporary new builds can cost between $350,000 and $660,000. Townhomes tend to sell for between $249,000 and $450,000.

The community college is also active in the community, sponsoring the Campus Harvest Food Pantry and the Briggs Avenue Community Garden.

Fayetteville Street restaurants and retailers nearby
For groceries and other everyday essentials, Campus Hills residents can head to the Food Lion on Fayetteville Street. The grocery store is only about 2 miles west of most homes. Nearby, Let’s Eat Soul Food and Kales Kitchen are two locally owned eateries popular for Southern-style comfort food.
