Eastern Durham consists almost exclusively of residential areas. Well manicured subdivisions sit in largely wooded areas and provide housing to the tens of thousands of workers who spend the majority of their week at one of the major companies with headquarters in Research Triangle Park.
Residents enjoy a safe, quite country setting that also provides easy access to the area's major amenities, including downtown Durham, RTP and the Raleigh/Durham International Airport. The popular resort area, Falls Lake and Falls Lake State Recreation Area, is about 15 minutes east. This area is ideal for boating, fishing, camping, and hiking.

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.
