Your Guide to Southpoint and Research Triangle Park

The Research Triangle Park (RTP), North America's largest research park, has positioned the Triangle as a dynamic place to live and work. Now, with a top super-regional mall and an emphasis on live, work and play, South Durham is more visitor-friendly than ever.

Investment in South Durham ramped up in the 1950s with the establishment of Research Triangle Park, providing careers for many graduates of the Triangle’s universities and spurring growth that continued as technology, research and biotech firms attracted engineers, scientists and other inventive professionals to the area.

Today, with walkable greenways, historic driving tours, global cuisines and history-making discoveries, these neighborhoods represent a core chapter in Durham’s growth. Read on to learn why SoDu is a thriving region well worth exploring, for shoppers, foodies and history buffs.

The Southpoint area is nestled between Highway 54 and Fayetteville Road to the north and Renaissance Parkway to the south and is anchored by The Streets at Southpoint, a sprawling indoor/outdoor mall. Given its convenient location near Interstate 40, this is one of Durham’s most active and populous neighborhoods.

Operating since 2002, The Streets at Southpoint’s brick facades and charming faux advertisements are a nod to Durham’s rich history in farming and finance. With a blend of locally-owned eateries, national department stores, a spacious food court and plenty of specialty shops, visitors to the mall will find it is much more than a run-of-the-mill shopping experience. A regular slate of street performances lends an extra layer of nostalgia to the visitor experience as crowds gather to enjoy live music, magicians, jugglers and dancers among the shops.

Several shopping plazas surround the mall, too, so if you don’t find what you’re looking for in the Streets at Southpoint, there’s more to explore a short drive away.

What do to Near Southpoint

Whether you’re looking to furnish your apartment, stock your fridge, find the perfect gift or update your wardrobe, The Streets at Southpoint and surrounding area has you covered. But first, be sure to fuel your day properly. Grab a coffee from Bean Traders (around the corner on Hwy 54 in the Homestead Market shopping center) a waffle from People’s Coffee (just across Highway 751 near Target), or a biscuit at Rise (or all three!) to power your shopping spree.

In addition to big retail names like Nordstrom, Belk and Macy’s, as well as furnishings resources like Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, West Elm and Restoration Hardware, several Triangle-based boutiques can be found throughout the mall and its surrounding plazas. Even if you don’t need a gift for someone else, it is nearly impossible to leave Light Years Jewelry or The Artisan Collective empty-handed. Treat yourself to a massage at Massage Envy or a pedicure at Noire Nail Bar, then check out the seasonal decor, snacks and drinks at Cost Plus World Market or pick up a bath bomb at LUSH for the ultimate self-care Sunday.

Need a break from shopping? Take a walk on the American Tobacco Trail , a 22-mile paved trail that follows the former American Tobacco Company’s railroad route (you can take it all the way from the vibrant American Tobacco Campus in downtown Durham south into Wake and Chatham Counties). Or, unwind with a movie at AMC Theater 17 followed by quesadillas and margaritas at Los Tres Magueyes .

A short drive from the mall, the open-air produce market Perkins Orchard has been open for more than 50 years and features a killer daily deal: as much produce as you can fit in a bag for $25 (plus a bonus item like jam or a pineapple). Nearby in the Sutton Station shopping center, don’t miss Bua Thai for authentic sticky rice, crispy spring rolls and perfectly spiced curry dishes. Next door, The Wine Cellar offers weekly tasting events and a distinctive selection of wines from around the world. Top the night off with a gelato from Dulce Cafe or a giant slice of cake from Nantucket Grill .

What is the Research Triangle Park?

Geographically central to Duke University, North Carolina Central University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, this 7,000-acre research park is among the first of its kind and largest in the country, with more than 300 companies. Established in 1959, Research Triangle Park (RTP) has attracted tech giants like IBM, Cisco and Lenovo, government agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and biotech and pharmaceutical companies like BASF, GlaxoSmithKline and United Therapeutics.

RTP is also home to more than 100 startups at the Frontier campus. These companies are pioneering innovations in cancer treatment methods, sustainable building materials and more. The campus features a free (yes, free!) coworking space during the week and regular networking and educational events geared toward its burgeoning entrepreneurial community.

In the 60 years since its founding, RTP inventors have been awarded thousands of patents, and many of their discoveries remain in use today. For example, the UPC barcode was first introduced by IBM in the 1970s; the first HIV/AIDS treatment was developed in the 1980s at GSK, and LED lighting was launched by Cree in 1989.

Though most corporate campuses in RTP are closed to outside visitors, there are several opportunities to engage with this historic epicenter of research. A driving tour is an eye-opening experience that gives visitors a sense of the expansive nature of RTP’s land, the companies housed there and their vast research capabilities. A network of walking and biking trails lined with native greenery are also open to the public, and may inspire your next big idea.

Visitor Attractions in RTP

Once you’ve worked up an appetite from sightseeing, stop by Boxyard RTP to try out some locally grown businesses. Composed of a few dozen upcycled shipping containers, the unique structure houses a handful of locally-grown eateries and shops, as well as regular live entertainment, an on-site dog park and plenty of space to unwind.

For lighter bites, try Meat & Graze charcuterie (they even have bark-uterie for four-legged picnic guests!) Or, appease your sweet tooth with fresh cupcakes and cookies from BuzzyBakes Bakeshop (bonus: both of these businesses are women-owned).

For something more filling, Lawrence Barbecue slings Texas-style brisket, and food truck success story Bulkogi has Korean-Latin fusion covered with bowls, burritos and quesadillas. The newest vendor is Leroy’s Taco Shop , specializing in 90s nostalgia and quesabirria tacos. In addition to its signature beers, Fullsteam Brewery ’s Boxyard location features unforgettable square pizza with farm-fresh toppings.

Looking for some caffeine? Don’t sleep (pun intended) on Beyu Caffé ’s Mexican latte (pun intended). Looking for something stronger? Pop into RTP Uncorked to find a new favorite wine, or head upstairs to Lagoon tiki bar for a classic tropical cocktail.

Glasshouse Kitchen , RTP’s newest eatery, is located near the intersection of Cornwallis Road and Miami Boulevard, and as its name implies, provides natural light in spades thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. The architecture mimics a greenhouse in a nod to RTP’s growing AgTech cluster, and inside, local food is celebrated on the plate.

Just outside RTP’s boundaries, near the intersection of Highways 54 and 55, are even more flavorful dining options to try. Weekday lunches don’t get better than Vit Goal Tofu , where authentic Korean meals are served with bountiful banchan, or KoKyu’s Na’Mean sandwich concept, whose Ko Faux Bahn will make even the most steadfast carnivores consider a vegetarian lifestyle. LuLu Bang Bang offers pan-Asian street food in a modern, relaxed atmosphere, too.

If you’re in the area over the weekend, be sure to grab breakfast at True Flavors diner before stopping by the South Durham Farmer’s Market at the Greenwood Commons shopping center. Next door, there’s a good chance The Glass Jug Beer Lab will have a keg tapping event, trivia night or food truck ready to enjoy. This family-owned spot began as a humble bottle shop before embracing its proximity to Research Triangle Park and brewing its own experimental beers.

Where to Stay Near Southpoint and RTP

After all that walking, kick your feet up at one of the area’s hotels. Near RTP and just four miles from RDU International Airport, the Sheraton Imperial was recently renovated and offers an onsite cafe and restaurant. If you’re staying near Southpoint, the Hilton Garden Inn is steps away from the mall and surrounding areas, and features a Ruth’s Chris Steak House on site. Also near Southpoint, Hyatt Place provides sustainable amenities like electric vehicle charging stations.

So, ready for your next cultural or culinary Durham experience? We invite you to look south.

map of research triangle park

Sprawling in the heart of North Carolina 's Piedmont, the Research Triangle is a metro area of about two million people. Largely suburban in nature, the Triangle is unique for a metro area in that, rather than having one primary city at its center, the region's focus is split between three cities: Raleigh, the state capital; Durham, a former industrial center; and Chapel Hill, a prominent college town.

The region derives its name from the major research universities in each of the Triangle's three cities as well as the vast office park that sits between these cities and is home to many research and high tech firms. These industries have spurred the rapid economic growth of the region. Visitors will find scenic college campuses, many of the state's cultural institutions, and a diverse population drawn by the Triangle's academic institutions and relatively high standard of living.

Cities [ edit ]

Map

The main three cities that make up the Triangle are:

  • 35.913139 -79.055806 1 Chapel Hill — A lovely college town based around the University of North Carolina, with college basketball, live music venues, and a beautiful campus with colonial-style brick buildings.
  • 35.988611 -78.907222 2 Durham — Once the center of tobacco country, now home to the Gothic-style architecture of Duke University, a vibrant arts scene, and a revitalizing downtown district.
  • 35.766667 -78.633333 3 Raleigh — The state capital, home to many of the state's cultural institutions, including three state museums, the state's performing arts center, and North Carolina State University.

In addition, there are a few towns that have become suburbs of the metro area:

  • 35.731944 -78.852778 1 Apex — An expanding suburb near the Research Triangle Park.
  • 35.778889 -78.800278 2 Cary — A sprawling, fast-growing suburb west of Raleigh.
  • 35.591944 -78.788611 3 Fuquay-Varina — A town south of Raleigh, now a growing suburb.
  • 36.070556 -79.104167 4 Hillsborough — A historic settlement west of Durham that's home to arts and music festivals.
  • 35.720278 -79.176389 5 Pittsboro — Historic town with a sanctuary for tigers and other big cats.
  • 35.9799 -78.5097 6 Wake Forest — Historic town that served as the original home of Wake Forest University and is the current home of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Several other small towns are further afield but still part of the broader region surrounding the Triangle:

  • 35.382222 -78.546111 7 Benson
  • 36.324722 -78.408611 8 Henderson
  • 35.465236 -78.160414 9 Princeton
  • 35.481333 -79.177556 10 Sanford
  • 35.509167 -78.346389 11 Smithfield-Selma

Understand [ edit ]

map of research triangle park

The Research Triangle , also known to the locals as the Triangle , is a region consisting of 3 anchor cities, Raleigh , Durham , and Chapel Hill , and everything in between. The name, "Triangle" was originally coined to refer to the three universities, North Carolina State University, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina, all fierce rivals. One of the largest research parks in the world, Research Triangle Park is located in the area, and has attracted both large companies and high numbers of immigrants from other parts of the United States, as well as all over the world. Leading employers such as IBM, Cisco Systems, SAS Institute, GlaxoSmithKline, and Biogen have ensured the exceptional performance of the strong economy. Both the universities and the research park are factors in the fact that the region is one of the most diverse in North Carolina.

Climate [ edit ]

This part of North Carolina can be hot and muggy during the summers (but air conditioning is widespread). Winters are relatively mild, and spring and autumn are popular for their pleasant weather.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ]

Raleigh-Durham International Airport ( RDU  IATA ) is the main airport for the region, located at the center of the metro area near the Research Triangle Park, just off I-40. A former hub of American Airlines and Midway Airlines, the airport today is one of the larger national airports without official hub status - some 9 million passengers embark and deplane annually, making it one of the nation's fastest-growing airports. American's strong continued presence here gives RDU daily direct service from London Heathrow , and Delta runs direct flights from Paris. Traditional and low-cost carriers offer flights from most East Coast cities, and Western cities including Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Denver. Air Canada offers several flights per day from Toronto.

RDU has two terminals; Southwest is the sole airline in the older Terminal 1, while the more modern and architecturally impressive Terminal 2 services the legacy carriers Alaska, American Airlines, Delta, and United, as well as the low-cost airlines Jetblue, Frontier, and Allegiant. There is a large rental car facility on-site. Public transit bus service is offered by Triangle Transit route #100, which runs between Raleigh and a transit center near the Research Triangle Park. Free WiFi is provided by Boingo—it's unlimited, but you have to look at an ad every 45 minutes.

In the winter , even a small amount of snow can cripple RDU, so plan for the risk of being delayed a day or two. That goes double if you're flying Southwest, as they're responsible for de-icing their own ramps.

By car [ edit ]

  • Interstate 40 cuts east-west through the Triangle, passing through Raleigh and the Research Triangle Park and along the outskirts of Durham and Chapel Hill, continuing west to Greensboro , Winston-Salem , and Asheville , and east to Wilmington .
  • Interstates 85 and 95 run north-south through the area, providing easy access to the region from up and down the Eastern Seaboard. I-85 passes through Durham, continuing north to Petersburg , Virginia (where it terminates at I-95) and west, merging with I-40 to Greensboro before splitting off to Charlotte . I-95 doesn't serve the Triangle directly, but rather skirts the eastern edge of it, where you can take I-40, US-64, US-70, or US-264 into the Triangle.
  • US-1 , the East Coast corridor route, cuts through Raleigh on its way from New York to the Florida Keys.

By train [ edit ]

Amtrak serves the Triangle with three routes: the Piedmont runs twice-daily to Charlotte , a trip of just over three hours, serving Raleigh, Cary, and Durham. The Carolinian runs once a day between Charlotte and the Eastern Seaboard, serving the same stops as the Piedmont, while the once-daily Silver Star stops in Cary and Raleigh on its way between New York City and Florida .

By bus [ edit ]

There are two intercity bus carriers serving the Triangle: Greyhound serves depots in Raleigh and Durham , while Megabus has a stop in Durham on its Charlotte - Washington, D.C. route. The regional bus system PART (Piedmont Authority for Regional Transit) has one line to Chapel Hill from the Piedmont Triad .

Get around [ edit ]

map of research triangle park

Given the very spread-out and suburban nature of the Triangle, driving is easily the most convenient way to get around. Interstate 40 is the main east-west corridor that links up the main cities of the Triangle, passing through Raleigh, the Research Triangle Park, and past RDU airport and Chapel Hill. The Durham Freeway (NC 147) links the Research Triangle Park and I-40 to Durham, while US-15/501 connects Durham to Chapel Hill. The Triangle Expressway , North Carolina's first modern toll road, follows NC 147 from I-40 to I-540, then NC 540 to Apex and Holly Springs. There are also two loop freeways circling Raleigh and serving many of the suburbs: I-440 circles the central portion of Raleigh proper, while I-540 traverses much of the suburban fringe north of Raleigh before heading south to the Research Triangle Park. South of the RTP, I-540 becomes a state-run toll freeway for the stretch around Cary south to Apex.

Each of the main cities operates a local bus service. Regional service is provided by Go Triangle , which operates all-day service daily (no service during certain holidays) between Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and several other towns in the area, operating out of a hub (the Regional Transit Center, RTC) near the Research Triangle Park. RTC has restrooms, water fountains, and a window selling bus passes, but basically no other amenities. Fortunately, the bus schedules are coordinated so that you can make transfers quickly without having to wait around at the transit center. Fares cost $2.25 per trip (one transfer is free), with $4.50 for a day pass.

The universities ! They're what the region is known for: Chapel Hill has UNC, Durham has Duke, and Raleigh has NC State (as well as several other lesser-known schools). All three have attractive campuses that include historic buildings. Naturally, they also include various other sights within their ecosystems, from varied museums to extensive botanical gardens and arboretums at all three universities (Duke Gardens in Durham are the best).

The area also has its share of historic districts and the like. Especially worth noting are several antebellum and Civil War sites in Durham, Hillsborough 's walkable downtown, and Raleigh's State Capitol building.

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences , which hosts an IMAX theatre, and has live presentations by visiting experts (from universities in the area) on certain days, is a very engaging (for audiences ranging from ages 5 to adults), modern, and top-tier institution that is well-worth visiting. The North Carolina Museum of History is located right next to it has many exhibits covering the history of North Carolina. Both museums are in downtown Raleigh.

Do [ edit ]

With the many universities in the area, it should come as no surprise that college sports are a big deal here. The Duke Blue Devils, the North Carolina Tar Heels, and (to a lesser extent) the NC State Wolfpack all have fiercely loyal fan bases, with immensely popular football and basketball programs. The Carolina-Duke rivalry is particularly fierce, with two of the most well-regarded basketball programs in the country. Non-college sports teams in the area include the popular Durham Bulls minor league baseball team and Raleigh's Carolina Hurricanes NHL hockey team.

There are many excellent performing arts spaces in the Triangle, hosting a lively theater scene. The lion's share of these are located in Durham, which is home to the prominent Durham Performing Arts Center , the historic Carolina Theatre , and a number of small, independent local theaters. Downtown Raleigh is home to the state-run Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts , which plays host to the state ballet, opera, and symphony.

And if you're looking to get away from the towns for some outdoor activities, the Triangle and its surrounding rural areas have state parks and nature . Particularly worth a visit are Eno River State Park near Durham , Umstead State Park in Raleigh , Raven Rock State Park near Fuquay-Varina , and Jordan Lake to the southwest of the metro area.

The American Tobacco Trail is a 22.6-mile (36.4-km) trail that runs from Durham in the north, to Apex in the south, cutting across wild forests for the more than 10 mi (16 km) that run south of the I-40, and more urban landscape to the north. The trail supports running, biking, and even horse back riding, and is widely used by residents of the area.

Eat [ edit ]

Boasting an impressive list of award-winning and nominated chefs and restaurants, Raleigh has become a hotbed for exciting and modern dining experiences. Durham and Chapel Hill have more than their share of quality restaurants as well. For visitors who want to sample local cuisine, restaurants serving authentic North Carolina cooking can be found in all three of the Triangle's main cities.

Drink [ edit ]

Out of the three cities, Chapel Hill is considered to have the best bars, due to the abundance of students in the area. Durham and Raleigh also have a fair share of drinking establishments, mainly centered around the universities.
