1101 S Alston Offers Space & Comfort for Durham's Future

---

Durham is growing—and so is the demand for thoughtfully built housing that reflects the city’s evolving rhythm. Nestled just south of downtown and minutes from multiple university campuses, 1101 S Alston Ave is a newly developed duplex that delivers in all the right ways: location, flexibility, and forward-thinking design.

Each unit features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, offering every resident the comfort of their own private space—something that’s hard to find in shared student housing. But this isn’t your typical off-campus rental. From the layout to the finishes, this project was designed with real lifestyle needs in mind.

Whether you’re attending Duke, North Carolina Central University, or another nearby institution, having access to modern housing this close to school is a huge advantage. With the growing popularity of group leasing among students, this type of housing meets the demand for space, affordability, and privacy—without compromising on quality.

We’ve seen how shared housing, when done right, can actually strengthen academic and social experiences. Everyone gets their own bathroom, which reduces day-to-day friction, and shared living spaces naturally promote collaboration and community. Whether it’s group study sessions in the living room or late-night brainstorming in the kitchen, this duplex was built to support more than just sleep.

But 1101 S Alston isn’t just about the students. As Durham continues to revitalize and invest in its neighborhoods, projects like this one play a role in shaping smarter, denser, and more intentional development. This property replaces outdated or underused land with a solution that meets both current housing needs and long-term community goals. It adds value—without losing the neighborhood feel.

And while students will love the proximity to restaurants, local parks, public transit, and campus life, long-term investors will appreciate the durability, rentability, and performance that come with multi-tenant homes like this. It’s the kind of property that works for everyone—and that’s what we aim for at Mayo Investment Group.

Durham’s future is bright, and 1101 S Alston is just a small example of how we’re helping shape it—one smart build at a time.
