Historic Homes: Some of the most expensive real estate in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, the Downtown District offers posh condominiums and mixed use development. If you are looking for classic architecture, be sure to check out the colonials and bungalows along the oak-lined streets of popular Raleigh neighborhoods like Boylan Heights, Oakwood, and Brooklyn Heights.
The popular and energetic Raleigh area inside the Interstate 40 beltline encompasses a variety of housing options, the state capitol, NC State University, and the ever-growing food and cultural scene along Fayetteville Street. In recent years, homes in these historic Raleigh neighborhoods have been in strong demand, mainly from a combination of the architectural charm and proximity to Downtown.

Agent Picks
Cameron Village
This has been a favorite neighborhood shopping destination since 1949. Whether you are looking for a high-end fashion boutique, a thoughtful gift, or a casual cafe for lunch, Cameron Village is the place to go. Stop in to the flagship location of Fedora, one of the area's most well-known women's clothing stores, to check out their new merchandise that arrives daily.
North Carolina Museum of Art
Technically just a shade outside of the beltline, we couldn't pass up the chance to mention the NC Museum of Art. Can't miss exhibits have included spotlights on Art Deco cars of the 1930s and 1940s, Leonardo da Vinci, and American impressionist art, just to name a few.
Pullen Park
North Carolina's first public park, Pullen Park is actually the fifth oldest amusement park in the country. Situated on more than 66 acres, the park has plenty of open space to roam, but don't miss the carousel, pedal boats, or the train!
