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.

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.
