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.

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.
