If you want to live where you are physically two years younger than your chronological age, try Raleigh-Durham. According to a recent study by RealAge, the metro area made the list of "youngest" cities in the nation. The factors that contributed to this fountain of youth? 1) Getting the right amount of sleep. 2) Not smoking. 3) Being physically active. 4) Controlling your blood pressure. To experience Raleigh-Durham, check out our listing of 77 assisted living facilities in the area. From Raleigh's city center to Durham's is about 28 miles. Their physical boundaries intersect each other along I-40. And both cities share parts of Wake and Durham counties.
Check out the area's five senior centers. Here you can find health and fitness programs, wellness and health screenings, dance classes, educational programs, craft and art classes, and social activities.

Medical care in the area is top notch thanks to the nearby pharmaceutical, nursing, and medical schools at the University of North Carolina and Duke University. WakeMed is a nonprofit healthcare system that operates a number of hospitals in the area.
To help you stay active, Raleigh has a 68-mile, 8,100-acre network of public open spaces, trails and parks for walking, hiking, bird watching, nature study and fishing. Some of the parks offer free summer concerts. There's also a 17-mile canoe trail down the Neuse River. Durham's Parks and Recreation facilities have dozens of senior-related programs such as fitness programs, social outings and choirs.
