Welcome to Raleigh

North Carolina’s growing capital city is vibrant, historic, and eclectic.
 
Located in the heart of North Carolina is the bustling capital city of Raleigh. Known as the “City of Oaks,” Raleigh is as historic as it is hip. Monumental buildings can be seen throughout the downtown area, such as the North Carolina State Capitol, which is a 19th-century Greek-revival building. Modern skyscrapers line the city as well, as Raleigh is part of North Carolina’s prestigious Research Triangle and serves as a hub for tech companies and innovation. The city’s architectural style is also diverse. Boylan Heights is a timeless neighborhood while Historic Oakwood is full of elegant Victorian mansions. There are many modern condos and townhomes situated in Downtown Raleigh too. The lively city continues to grow rapidly and is currently North Carolina’s second-most populous city.
 
The community vibe in Raleigh is vibrant and eclectic. Southern hospitality is also plentiful as the locals are friendly and welcoming. Fayetteville Street is one of the city’s most popular spots and is full of chic shops, restaurants, and galleries. This walkable downtown street is a central business area and is surrounded by restored historical buildings and astounding contemporary high-rises. Another desirable locale is the affluent Midtown district of North Hills which is abundant with luxurious boutiques, eateries, and apartments. This upscale area hosts summer fitness classes at its Grassy Midtown Park and concerts at The Ritz nightclub. Raleigh is a food lover’s paradise as the city features a wide range of cuisines and cooking styles. Notable eateries include the casual Second Empire tavern and the retro Poole’s Diner. Another way to sample Raleigh’s delicious eats is at one of its many farmers’ markets. For shopping, the Crabtree Valley Mall has it all with nearly 200 different stores. The Capital City has a renowned art scene too. The Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts is the city’s premier art venue, featuring everything from Broadway musicals to political speakers. The Walnut Creek Amphitheater is another artistic hot spot. This gorgeous open-air venue has featured rock legends and regularly hosts grand music festivals.
