Best of all, you're just a 5-10 minute walk to The Nasher Art museum, Isaac's Bagels, Durham Co-op, Downtown Durham, Lakewood Cocoa Cinnamon, and more—bringing some of Durham's best food, culture, and community right to your doorstep. This is easy living in one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods
