The Downtown
Downtown Durham retains the striking architecture of its historic role as the hub of America’s tobacco industry, a major railroad stop and shopping destination and the home of Black Wall Street, where African-American financial companies flourished even during segregation.
Today, residents enjoy easy access to the Durham Freeway, which connects Durham to the I-85 corridor and Raleigh-Durham International Airport via I-40. Downtown Durham blends into the campuses of Duke University and North Carolina Central University and attracts academics, residents interested in an active lifestyle, entrepreneurs, artists and more.
