Fayetteville Street Corridor, located between Downtown Durham and Research Triangle Park, is a residential and commercial Durham neighborhood with a transit-linked spine and a mix of older storefronts and newer infill. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fayetteville St and Riddle Rd crossroads, where taquerias, barbershops, small groceries, and takeout counters set a steady, street-level rhythm. Low-slung brick buildings and modest homes sit close to the road, giving the corridor a practical, lived-in feel. NCCU’s nearby campus energy filters into local eateries and corner shops. The American Tobacco Trail adds a linear greenway edge for walking and biking. Bus stops along Fayetteville Street keep daily errands oriented to the main corridor.

Ranch on corner lot that needs attention but has SO much potential and so does the LOT! Let's get this out of the way- the house needs work. Some ceiling heights are not quite 7ft. Not sure how extensive but bring your imagination to renovate this house and make it a jewel again. Now the good stuff- Roof was replaced in 2023. HVAC in late 2024. Vinyl siding. Vinyl windows throughout most of house. Rocking chair front porch. City says POSSIBLE flag lot or small lot build. Worth the dive into seeing what can be done if you are a developer/Investor who wants to be in the growth of the Downtown Durham area. Location- just moments to Tobacco Trails, Hillside Park, DPAC, Bulls games, mom and pop dining, NCCU and easy access to freeway to get to RTP, Raleigh or Hillsborough. The revitalization is ALL AROUND! Sold as is.
