Durham is relatively safe, it’s an interesting place. Activities that happen in areas that you don’t wanna be in don’t spread outside of very specific lines. It’s not somewhere I’m ever worried about getting my bag stolen from my person, of course anywhere you go you should be aware of your surroundings but I would say in Durham I feel very safe.
Posted: August 3, 2025Contrary 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.
Posted: February 2, 2025durham 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
