Garrett sits just southeast of Duke Forest and the prestigious Duke University Golf Club. This residential area represents one of the newer portions of town and has a more suburban feel than some of the quirkier parts of downtown Durham. Substantial brick houses sit closely together in exclusive subdivisions with manicured lawns.
Although the neighborhood has dozens of houses, its proximity to the forest and other natural setting that have yet to be developed or have been returned to a natural state create a feeling of quiet seclusion.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
