It's where music, theater, bars, restaurants, and sports merge in Durham. The one-million-square-foot American Tobacco District is considered Durham's entertainment district, and it's all here -- restaurants, bars, the Durham Performing Arts Center, and the Durham Stadium, home of the Durham Bulls. The American Tobacco Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places -- the tobacco factory was first built in 1874. Today, the district contains 14 historic buildings. It is a trendy community that features its own events, like concerts and art shows.
American Tobacco is located downtown, directly north of the Durham Freeway and extending north to Pettigrew Street. The walkable district contains a variety of loft apartments in historic warehouses, along with office space to create a vibrant live-work-play community. Some local hotspots in the neighborhood include the Bull Durham Beer Company, Saladelia Café, and Basan Bull City Sushi. If you are looking for apartments in American Tobacco, just look for the Lucky Strike smokestack -- a neighborhood landmark.
