I drive Uber/Lyft in the Triangle. When passengers ask me about the area I reiterate the info I learn here. As a former Pennsylvanian, I thank you for providing great info! And, when passengers ask about realtors in the area, I always recommend y’all! ❤

"Also at Duke is the Duke Lemur Center, where I assume they have lemurs" 😂 For anyone interested, it's the largest dedicated lemur sanctuary in the world, as well a leading research facility for these animals. Very fun, educational place to bring the SO and/or family!

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

We’ve been wanting to check it out! Someday soon we will! Thanks for the info!!

Can't believe you don't mention the world-famous 11-foot-8 bridge. It's a railroad crossing with an infamously-low bridge in Durham that box trucks regularly crash into; and a nearby business has a webcam recording the crashes.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

We forgot to mention it! Thank you

[@reggiewest8975]

The barbershop bridge for trucks😂🤣💯

[@bellanoche6116]

LOL, we have a place like that in my hometown in NY. The bridge has it's own facebook page!

I grew up in Brooklyn and Durham is creative, cool and a vibe

[@Classy4514]

You can't be from Brooklyn with a comment like that

I was so happy to move back to Durham, I purchased a townhouse which the area is now considered a certified forest..😊 My favorite place to visit is Duke garden's its absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@bellanoche6116]

Great video! I'm a local, but you have inspired me to go visit Durham.

[@joshuapowell986]

751 South is an amazing neighborhood! I love it here. Durham is a great place to live!

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

It's one of our favorite new construction neighborhoods in Durham. Very nice homes. Thanks for sharing

[@Andrew24711]

Love it ! Thanks for doing a video on Durham. Great suggestions - many of which we haven't gone to.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@azaleagirl6275]

People DO NOT think of it as one big area. There’s Raleigh and then there’s Durham. They are not the same.

[@debracarter1942]

Family is from.Durham. Doesnt matter what zip code you live in or state crime happens all over.

[@rTuelho]

Hi! Do your team assist someone looking to rent instead of buying in this area? Thanks for the work you put into all of your very informative videos. Thanks!

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you! Unfortunately we only do home purchases and listings, however we do have a list of short-term rentals we can share with you

[@Being_Joe]

Access to the Duke medical system alone is worth living in the Area (God forbid you need it).

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Yes it's excellent

[@istepune1]

Nice information

[@jehodges]

The Museum of Life and Science is NOT on Duke's campus. It's on 84 acres of beautiful land just north of downtown Durham. Also no one in Durham thinks they are a part of Raleigh.

[@telliesmith9825]

Durham Duke University, DPAC, Bull's baseball league and the triangle research park your welcome Goodnight

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Yep

[@kaleb12341000]

I live there it is verry big nice and fun

[@katemccormickfarmer4837]

Trader Joe’s is not in Durham, Chapel Hill has the closest one.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you. Not sure how that made it into the video but luckily it's very close

[@randallgregory4475]

Make sure your health insurance is current and don’t be on the streets after dark.

[@walnutinvesting689]

Hey what's it like in winterville compared to the suburbs of Raleigh?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Much less expensive in Winterville and also Greenville doesn’t have as many amenities as Raleigh, but we really like both areas

[@walnutinvesting689]

@@LivinginRaleighTV Thanks. I'm just looking for a safe place with affordable town homes/condos. Don't care about being near the city for a high income job.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Both areas have affordable townhomes, Raleigh is a little more expensive. Feel free to email us if you need help in either area

[@walnutinvesting689]

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Sounds good!

[@WHAT-pv8pt]

I always see bad comments about Durham from people who live in Raleigh.

[@isaiahwright8420]

Great video but durham feels much larger than raleigh

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

They both have nice downtowns. Both are very different

[@dhard02]

Durham is awesome

[@DialloMoore503]

@@dhard02 Do you recommend it? Durham or New Jersey? Those are my top two relocation places.

[@Classy4514]

Both cities suck

[@greg5green]

Have you actually been to Durham before?

[@joanalbright9218]

Durham doesn’t have either a Publix or a Trader Joe’s they are in Chapel Hill

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Yes Durham does have a Publix and Trader Joe’s is very close to Durham and easy for most people living in Durham to get to.

[@kimcauthen]

Durham absolutely does have a Publix

[@jonathanmeyer60]

Only one thing you need to know. Move to the next town. To much shit going on in Durham

[@deanwest]

You didn't mention the school system ratings or the crime rate - surely those are things you need to know before moving there.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

We don’t talk about crime on our channel. There are plenty of resources for that all over the internet. As for schools, go to greatschools.org and there is a lot of info there.

[@deanwest]

@@LivinginRaleighTV but as my realtor you would surely discuss those items?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Realtors are not allowed to talk about crime or schools due to fair housing laws. The most we can do is point you to government websites where you can form your own opinions on which areas have crime and which areas have the best schools.

[@silentj624]

@@LivinginRaleighTV I love this. It also curbs racism

[@bane2256]

How does discussing the facts of a city curb racism

[@jameson9199]

no, “we”, don’t. pretend all you want, you aren’t from here

[@Classy4514]

As u can see nobody's downtown Durham sucks .

[@abdelbelmehdi9829]

Very dangerous town.
