Patterson Place offers renters the best of both worlds—a peaceful, wooded setting with modern conveniences close at hand. Its easy access to shopping, dining, and major employers makes it an ideal balance of comfort and convenience in the heart of the Triangle.

Borrowing its name from the shopping plaza it surrounds, the Patterson Place neighborhood stretches south along I-40 from Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard. With wooded streets and open green space, this area maintains a peaceful, suburban feel while sitting just eight miles southwest of Downtown Durham and about three miles northeast of Downtown Chapel Hill. Residents enjoy quick access to Research Triangle Park, typically a 10- to 15-minute commute.

The Patterson Place shopping center remains the neighborhood’s anchor, offering everyday conveniences such as PetSmart, DSW, and restaurants like Panera Bread and Five Guys. Nearby grocery options include a Wegmans and a Trader Joe’s within a short drive, providing residents with fresh and specialty food selections. Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard is lined with additional shops and eateries, and The Streets at Southpoint—one of the Triangle’s premier malls—sits a few minutes south, featuring an expanded lineup of national retailers, local restaurants, and a movie theater.
