“New to Durham in 2015, I moved into the lovingly renovated house at 614 N Queen St and called it home for more than 5 years! I loved the original details and charm of the house, as well as the spacious rooms and tall ceilings. The neighborhood is warm and welcoming - we enjoyed getting to know our neighbors and now call them friends. Jessie and Matt are friendly, professional, respectful, and very attentive when it comes to property management. All repairs were completed in a timely and thoughtful manner - they truly care for their properties and tenants.”

Homes for rent in the heart of Durham and Hillsborough

 

Walking Distance was sprung in 2011 from a love of old houses and walkable neighborhoods. We’re committed to quality renovations, great communication, reasonable rents, and responsiveness to our tenants’ needs.

 The Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood of Durham is the closest residential neighborhood to downtown, and our rentals are nestled around a single block where our family lived for over a decade (we’re just down the road now). You can be getting great coffee in 6 minutes on foot, and dining at your choice of dozens of incredible restaurants (in non-COVID times) in 15 or less. Music, art, culture, as well as all the city’s services, are just a short walk or bike ride away.

We also have one property in downtown Hillsborough, walkable to all the town’s many charms and natural features.
