North Durham, located between Downtown Durham and the Eno River, is a historic and residential Durham neighborhood with leafy streets and a strong arts-and-food pulse. The character concentrates around the Geer Street corridor near N. Roxboro Street, where patios, taprooms, and small studios keep the sidewalks active. Early-20th-century bungalows and mill-era cottages mix with newer infill, giving blocks a layered, lived-in look. Motorco Music Hall and Fullsteam Brewery act as cultural anchors for live shows and local pours. Geer Street Garden adds a greenhouse-like dining room and a casual, late-afternoon rhythm. Greenway segments and nearby river trails shape a walk-and-ride lifestyle.

Residential Rural District
The RR District is established to provide for agricultural activities and residential development on lots of one acre or greater and in conservation subdivisions. Commercial and industrial development is generally prohibited. This district is used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as the Rural Tier. Lands within other Tiers that have existing RR zoning are acknowledged; however, such lands may be rezoned to more intensive zoning districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The regulations of this district are designed to discourage the development of urban services and to encourage the maintenance of an open and rural character.
