Raleigh is consistently named one of the best places to live in the United States. While it is the state capital of North Carolina, home to numerous colleges and universities, and a corporate center, it maintains a stellar quality of life for both individuals and businesses.

This ‘City of Oaks’ grew slowly and carefully, always taking the needs of its inhabitants into consideration. Your Raleigh apartment will quickly make you feel at home because the hospitality is Southern, and life is good.Named for the explorer, Sir Walter Raleigh, the city has a population of under a half million people yet is a center for education as well as many corporations and is a part of the Research Triangle located between Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Much of bio-tech and high-tech research in the U.S. goes on here.

See and Do

Raleigh has notable museums including the North Carolina Museum of Art, and has numerous venues for theatre and other types of live performance. Raleigh’s only professional sports team is an NHL team called the Hurricanes but round out other sports with college and minor league teams who are exciting to watch.

Enjoying a moderate climate, the city provides outdoor activities in 150 publicly funded sites and parks. Golf, swimming, hiking, and tennis are all amply provided for and your Raleigh apartment won’t be far from any facility. Or go to Pullen Park and ride the carousel that dates from 1911.

Southern Style Nights

There’s plenty of Southern cooking in Raleigh, and Big Ed’s is the place to go for a breakfast of biscuits and red-eye gravy. The Presidential candidates all make it a stopping point during campaigns, and it offers live jazz on Saturday mornings if you aren’t a night owl. Barbeque is popular but you’ll be able to find almost any cuisine in Raleigh.
