How safe is Durham?

Contrary to what the news say, Durham is a very relaxed place. There's not a lot to do here, but I wouldn't worry about walking around by yourself or at night. The only places that are really walkable is Downtown, but there are plenty of restaurants worth checking out.

durham isn’t too safe if you plan on traveling there. it’s a pretty high crime city in NC compared to other cities here in NC. as someone living in NC i would recommend charlotte as a better option or if you plan on staying in raleigh, then the downtown area is pretty nice. durham isn’t the way to go
