According to a Genworth Financial survey, a one-bedroom in a Durham assisted living facility averages just $2,850 per month - the national average is $3,300. Because the level of care in nursing homes is higher, the costs are higher. A private room in a Durham nursing home averages $6,312 month, while a semi-private averages $5,901. The services of both a home health aide (assistance with dressing, bathing, etc.) and homemaker (cooking, running errands, etc.) average $3,432 monthly while homemaker services (cooking, running errands, etc.). The overall cost of living in Durham is equal to the national average.

For the ultimate in cultural experiences, try a visit to the Nasher Museum of Art, the Carolina Theater and the Durham Performing Arts Center. Step into Durham's past at the Bennett Place State Historic Site, a family farm caught in the crossfire of the Civil War. Meet costumed interpreters, experience the tobacco museum and stroll the wooded grounds of the Duke Homestead State Historic Site. The site offers genealogy workshops, history lectures, and local food tastings. The impressive Museum of Life and Science features both indoor exhibits and a 6-acre outdoor exhibit, "Explore the Wild" with live bears, wolves and lemurs.
