We feel that Forest Brook is a gem and secret find hidden in the heart of Hope Valley, Durham. We have found its location to be truly perfect and are not sure we would have found Durham to be so charming if we had opted to live in some of the other locations we were initially considering. Being that we moved here without knowing Durham really that well, I’d say we really got lucky! It is great to have equally quick access to Chapel Hill and Downtown Durham. The small triple cul-de-sac neighborhood of different colored craftsman homes is tucked behind Hope Valley Downs (different builder) near Martin Luther King Blvd. and Old Chapel Hill Road. The cul-de-sac lay-out provides lots of privacy and street traffic is limited to its residents. It’s a close knit neighborhood of friendly and welcoming folks, where everyone knows everyone. Many Saturday and Sunday afternoons were spent in our backyard cooking out with neighbors. Tall pine trees surround the neighborhood and backyard of the home, really providing the feeling that you are “away from it all”.
