Durham, North Carolina touts itself as a place where great things happen, and the 233,000 people who call it home are inclined to agree wholeheartedly. This southern city grew up around tobacco and Duke University, and today retains a small city atmosphere.

The City of Medicine is home to 300 companies in the medical or health-related fields. Durham is also one of the three points on the well-known Research Triangle, the other two being Raleigh and Chapel Hill. The Research Triangle Park (RTP) has replaced tobacco and now provides jobs to the area, with more than 170 major research companies located here.

Residents appreciate the range of dining options, cultural events, and access to parks that contribute to outdoor activities.
