Durham, NC 55+ Retirement Communities and Homes

North Carolina's Piedmont region is a broad, upland plateau lying between the coast and the Appalachians far to the west. It is usually considered to start at the fall line—the point at which the numerous rivers drop suddenly in waterfalls or rapids from the plateau to the coastal plain. Because this once represented the limit of waterborne traffic upstream—and because of the opportunities for exploiting the rivers for power at this point—the fall line developed into a densely settled region of prosperous towns and cities. It's no accident that the state's capital, Raleigh, is located in this region.
