Warehouse District Apartments for Rent

The Warehouse District in Durham is a mostly residential neighborhood of old, renovated tobacco warehouses with a promising future. The neighborhood is part of the revitalization of Downtown Durham. Restaurants, professional firms and luxury lofts are already part of the Warehouse District. The district is pedestrian friendly, but near the NC-147 state highway, giving residents and visitors easy access to the attractions and tourist destinations of Durham.

The growth and wealth of North Carolina first came from its tobacco and textile industries. The neighborhood is close to the American Tobacco Historic District, also known as Downtown Durham’s entertainment district.

Residents of the Warehouse District can walk to American Tobacco, which contains the Durham Bulls Athletic Park (DBAP), a $16-million brick ballpark seating 10,000 and designed to give its fans an intimate, ballpark feel. The park is adjacent to the 2,800-seat Durham Performing Arts Center, where theater, dance and Broadway shows are performed at the center throughout the year. Restaurants, bars, retail shops, and bike trails are also located in the area.

The Durham Farmers’ Market is near the Warehouse District. Fresh produce and crafts have been sold here since 1998. Vendors selling fresh local products come from a 70-mile radius of the city.

The Eno River State Park is not considered an urban park, but a 2,700-acre wilderness park with 21 miles of established hiking trails available to urban dwellers. Named after the Eno Indians who lived along the river long before the arrival of European settlers, the park became part of the North Carolina state park system in 1973. It is a favorite place for hiking and nature walks. Outdoor enthusiasts also use the Eno River State Park for fishing, canoeing and camping.
