“We bought a home in the Marydell subdivision in Durham…We currently live in Apex, NC and wanted to move closer to work and to give our little girl better schooling opportunities. We’ve been very happy with Robbie Dunn, our realtor from Fonville Morsey in Durham; he helped us find a home and neighborhood we’re excited about moving to. We’re excited about discovering what our new home town has to offer.”

"Elmo's may be known for their breakfasts, but the entire menu is filled with tempting treats. The neighborhood-style restaurant is kid friendly. Yummy comfort food made with new flare. The wait staff was so friendly. We saw Elmo's featured on Rachel Ray's "$40 a Day" and had to try it." - Visitor from Portales, New Mexico
“I traveled to Durham for business…and found my stay at the Durham Marriott (at the Civic Center) to be a real pleasure. The interior was elegant and clean, and the staff was very friendly. The Bull City Steakhouse is a must if you are staying there. The area also had some fun attractions…the baseball stadium…American Tobacco District which had some nice bars, I recommend Tyler's...Great beer selection. I checked out Brightleaf Square which also had some great restaurants and an incredible indie record store. This was probably one of my favorite business stays so far…the town is really starting to grow.”
