The Neighborhood:
Historic Walltown is a diverse, mixed income, urban neighborhood with foot traffic. Please do not rent this home if you are not comfortable in a multicultural, urban setting as it will not be a good fit for you. The house is 1.5 blocks from the Duke East Campus walking path. The historic neighborhood is close to Duke's East Campus, 9th Street, Monuts & more!
Getting Around:
This house has easy access to I-85, NC-147 etc. Uber and Lyft are common in Durham so no worries if you don't have a car. There are also plenty of bus routes, and the neighborhood is walking distance to downtown if you prefer.
Other Things to Note:
• Separate Unit: This listing is for the primary house. Please note there is an additional 'in-law' suite at the back of the property with a separate entrance. That guest will walk up the driveway to access their unit but has their own private back porch.
• Safety: For your peace of mind, the home is equipped with smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, and a fire extinguisher.
Interaction with Guests:
We value your privacy and aim to provide a seamless, independent stay. While we won't be on-site, we are always available and responsive via the messaging app should you have any questions or need assistance during your visit.
