I'm starting a new job, moving bck to the south from NY and will have to get an apartment until my wife sells our house and comes down. Could use some help with 1) a Short term studio or 1 bedroom apartment 2) How is living in Durham????? as we will probably be looking to buy a house in the durham area a soon as possible....thanks

Although it's not right close to Butner... we lived at "Alexan Place" at South Square while looking for a house in Durham County/ when we first moved to NC from FL. It's probably a 40 minute reverse-commute Alexan to Butner in the mornings (you'[d be driving north/northeast while others drive south)... I think they have 1BR all the way up to 3BR apts... minimum lease I think is 6 mos. ...but it might take you that long to settle on a house...even 'asap'. We loved this place- quiet ./ pet friendly/ well-maintained
Also if your job is in Butner, you might look for (if a rural-ish area could suit you) a home in
N. Durham/Bahama/Rougemont (all in Durham County) ...the latter two being almost due-west of Butner/accessible via lightly-traveled country road. Maybe a 15/25 minute commute either way.

I used to work in Butner and lived in NW Raleigh. It was a 40 minut3e commute (and a beautiful commute at that). SO I think you could also look in several different areas.
