The Best Communities in Durham, NC

Part of North Carolina’s famed Research Triangle and home to world-renowned Duke University, Durham is a busy city with lots of things to see and do. Retirees seeking art and cultural experiences can find them at the contemporary 21c Museum, the Carolina Theatre and Durham Performing Arts Center. Shopping and dining choices are also plentiful, with a great variety of culinary options. Outdoorsy seniors will enjoy the natural beauty and history found at West Point on the Eno, a 404-acre park featuring historic buildings, scenic walking trails and fishing and river paddling opportunities. The nonprofit Durham Center for Senior Life manages four senior centers and provides a variety of services for the 12.7% of Durham County residents over age 65.

To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.
