I'm looking to move to Durham in the upcoming months. I have found what seems to be a good apartment close to southpoint but I have heard some bad things about the town. Of course I don't want to move in with a negative attitude unless I need to. Please someone tell me how it really is in durham.

As others have said stop worrying.....you want trouble you can find it anywhere. ..including your past town.....Durham is a wonderful city...get out and enjoy it.....and more than just the mall.
Durham is a great town, with all kinds of new stuff happening downtown. Yes, there are some slummy areas, generally, South/East of downtown, but it's evident when you find yourself driving through them. Western and Southwest Durham is no problem nor is most of North Durham.
Just don't drive around at night somewhere you haven't been during the day (good advice for any new city).
