Downtown raleigh
Home to creators and corporations alike, Downtown Raleigh is the central hub for creative innovation in NC. Endlessly inviting and intentionally inclusive, Downtown boasts cosmopolitan cool with a touch of southern twang.

Recognized for its rich history, and sought after for its exciting future - Downtown Raleigh’s urban core is as unique as its offerings. Around every corner lies world-class cuisine, endless entertainment, and of course - an oak tree or two. From national festivals like Dreamville in Dix Park to International Food Rallies on Fayetteville Street, each day boasts new adventures. Coupled with mountains or beaches a day trip in either direction, NC’s Capital city boasts unparalleled access to the best the state has to offer.

What to expect:
A diverse city-scape celebrating past influences and present inspiration.

Strikingly modern homes alongside meticulous historic renovations, all within walking distance of culinary hotspots, specialty shops, and gorgeous green space. It’s cozy corner shops, hand-crafted luxury goods, and delectable bites and brews embedded in a bustling cityscape. Whether window-shopping along the cobblestone streets of Historic City Market or catching a concert at Red Hat Amphitheatre, it’s impossible to experience Downtown in one day. Regardless, if you’re partial to quiet side streets with a charming sitcom feel or penthouse plazas prioritizing luxe and lavish - Oak City has what you’re looking for.

The lifestyle:
Community driven, city-inspired and completely customizable.

Whether you’re brewery hopping or boutique shopping, catching a local show, or strolling the farmers market - there’s something for everyone on every street. From Glenwood South to the Warehouse District each distinct Downtown neighborhood boasts exciting nightlife, exclusive dining, and endless shops. Further out of the city center, alfresco shopping at the Village District and outdoor dining at Five Points each offer sweet suburban-Esque escapes. Not to mention, you’d be pressed to find somewhere louder than PNC stadium on an NC State or Carolina Hurricanes gameday.

Unexpected appeal:
Pervasive, meticulously-preserved history and maintained public green-spaces.

Raleigh’s rich history is preserved through world-class museums, designated landmarks, walking greenways, and even guided ghost tours; perfect for any antiquity buff or amateur explorer. Not to mention, the State Capitol, Executive Mansion, and Legislative Buildings are all open to the public for a unique immersive history experience. Stroll through The NC Museum of Science or soak up the sun under historical statues in Nash Square - there are plenty of city-sponsored spaces to enjoy.

The market:
Modern condos, colonial revivals, renovated ranches, and historic estates all alongside contemporary new developments.

Downtown Raleigh is home to cutting-edge new developments and charming historic neighborhoods offering a myriad of styles and price points for a potential buyer. Downtown has eight recognized historic neighborhoods, each home to preserved historic estates, charming bungalows, and renovated ranch homes designed with walkability in mind. Closer to Downtown, rise commuter-inspired modern townhomes and contemporary condos, each expanding Oak City’s urban core with boutique, luxe developments focused on cutting-edge styling and skyline views.

You'll fall in love with:
Sleek city-living is served with southern hospitality for a unique mix of urban and suburban life.

Oak-lined sidewalks, specialty shops, public parks, rooftop bars, local shows, and world-class southern cuisine.
