LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Raleigh North Carolina is one of the few cities were old fashioned neighborhoods, downtown urban living, and wilderness adventures are just steps away from each other. With an opportunity to live in downtown, a close knit community, or a spacious open neighborhood, chances are that Raleigh has a community that fits your life style.

Downtown Raleigh is everything a first class city has to offer. There is a variety of shops and stores. Take for example City Market, a shopping venue combining the charm of Historic Raleigh with the contemporary flare of galleries and boutiques offering everything from high-end retail shops to The Barkery, a health food store for dogs and cats. After you have built up an appetite from shopping don’t worry, there are many tantalizing restaurants to choose from. Like the 101 Lounge and Café, this offers an urban atmosphere, street side seating and an upstairs lounge.  After a delicious meal, enjoy a few drinks with friends or dance the night away at one of the popular nightclubs! With shopping, eating and dancing all in one location, no wonder why downtown Raleigh is the fastest growing urban area in North Carolina. If downtown urban living is for you, downtown Raleigh is the place to invest in a new condo for sale. Once you make downtown your new home, make sure not to miss out on one of Down Town Raleigh’s sponsored events, such as the Hot Summer Nights, which is always guaranteed to be a blast! 

After a wild night experiencing Downtown, you can recoup by having a lazy day at Historic Oakwood. Located near downtown Raleigh, Oakwood is an intact nineteenth century neighborhood with hundreds of homes representing many architectural styles. Many have been restored and maintained to their original form. Enjoy a refreshing walk along Glenwood South tree-lined street and stroll through the N.C Museum of History.
