Hey, I'm single, late 50s, and Household incomes average around $79,234 in Durham. Homes are going for about $355,300 on average. The weather takes some getting used to. Does this match your experience? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
