About Gorman
Gorman is a rural-suburban area of northern Durham (Oak Grove township), near the I-85/Red Mill Road and Gorman Church Road corridor, roughly ZIP 27704. It mixes acreage lots, farms, and newer subdivisions on the city's northern edge — a country-in-the-city feel with quick access to downtown Durham and I-85. Gorman is a neighborhood, not an incorporated town, so services and planning come from the City of Durham and Durham County.
