Welcome to Parkwood. This community began in the early 1960s. There are a variety of styles of homes found within it, though the majority are 1 story homes. It is ideally situated between Chapel Hill and RTP. The layout of the neighborhood is such that many of the homes feel quite private compared to some of the newer communities. The lots sizes range between .33 and .5 acre primarily- so are somewhat larger than some of the newer communities. There are lots of very nice trees, a mixture of hardwoods and pine, a community pond, library, and it has its own convenient store. 54 homes in Parkwood sold that were multiple listed with an average price of ~$135,000 and the average days on the market was 68. The average square footage is ~1,500. For some of those homes that are currently marketed on the multiple listing service, please feel free to search below. Parkwood is an ideal first time home buyer neighborhood, offering a great price point along with its superb location. Click on any photo to see homes on the market in Parkwood, Durham, NC

LANDSCAPING'S EFFECT ON HOME VALUES, University of Florida STUDYDegner began his study with an "ugly yard" contest in the Orlando Sentinel. More than 300 homeowners sent pictures of their property to the newspaper, and members of the Action Chapter of the Florida Nurserymen and Growers Association narrowed the homes down to 10 finalists in the $80,000 to $125,000 price range. Association members visited the finalists to select four homes that received the new landscaping. Homeowners agreed to pay for the cost of materials, and members of the association donated their labor and expertise. When the landscaping was completed, Degner enlisted the help of 104 real estate agents to estimate selling prices of the four homes based on photographs taken before and after the make-overs. The photos were mixed in with those of 27 other homes. The best result was a 76 percent estimated "profit" for the homeowner -- an $8,400 increased selling price after a $4,700 landscaping project. In the worst case, the estimated value rose only $1,100 after a $5,000 landscaping job. "The property owners would have recaptured only 21 percent of the landscaping's value," Degner said.
