Walkability in Durham, North Carolina

Walking in Durham works best when you choose a neighborhood with nearby destinations rather than expecting the entire city to be walkable. Areas around Ninth Street, Old West Durham, Trinity Park, Walltown, and parts of downtown offer ways to reach shops, restaurants, services, or other daily destinations on foot. The city also has a formal DurhamWalks! Pedestrian Plan that identifies needs, projects, and design guidelines for improving pedestrian travel. Trails and greenways add another layer, giving you places to walk beyond ordinary sidewalks and streets. Still, Durham remains a spread-out city, so a comfortable walking lifestyle can depend heavily on where you live and where you go. Choosing a home near useful services, transit, or routes can make a noticeable difference in how easily you get around without a car.

Raleigh-Durham International Airport Expands Parking, Upgrades Facilities To Enhance Passenger Experience

If you've flown out of RDU recently, you've probably noticed the construction — and there's good reason for it. The airport is growing its economy parking lot from under 4,000 spaces to 11,000, plus adding solar canopies and a new amenity building with restrooms and refreshments. You'll also see changes to the roadways connecting the terminals, all aimed at cutting down on that frustrating pre-flight congestion. It's a lot of work happening at once, but it's the kind of upgrade that pays off every time you're rushing to catch a flight. Next time you're circling for a parking spot, just know it's temporary — better days (and way more spaces) are on the way.
