While working and playing in Raleigh NC is the ultimate, living in Raleigh is what sets this place apart from all others. Whatever the taste – center city condo, penthouse, warehouse; a bungalow nestled in the dense and eclectic mix of established, walk able neighborhoods; the comfort of the suburban; the privacy of the rolling terrain of the exurban – Raleigh offers it all with the most extensive municipal services at the lowest tax rate of any major North Carolina city, and terrific public and private schools to boot. And housing is affordable in Raleigh with the median home sale price being just over $230,000 and the median contract rent at $673 per month. The mix of housing opportunities also is accommodating with 51.6 percent of the housing stock owner-occupied and 48.4 percent renter-occupied. With Raleigh’s “best of” and ultra-cool reputation, it may be somewhat surprising how affordable it really is overall. The latest cost of living index composite gave Raleigh a 98.1 rating. (The national cost of living average is 100.)

Raleigh’s history is no less bountiful. In 1792, Raleigh was created to be North Carolina’s seat of government. To fully appreciate this uniquely blessed city, one must contemplate the history and delightfully complex composition of the state that created Raleigh. Home to the Native American Iroquoian, Siouan and Algonquian tribes, it is also the birthplace of Virginia Dare, the first child born of English parents in the new world during the first attempt by the English to settle the western hemisphere. One of the original 13 colonies, North Carolina was the first to officially call for independence with the Halifax Resolves in 1776.

A state of yeoman farmers and among the South’s first industrial areas, North Carolina was no home place to the gentry, but rather a state of working men and women who valued education and established the nation’s first state university. North Carolina’s appreciation of education also created a notable public school system and the nation’s best community college system. Though firmly in the grip of the hard times of the 1920s, North Carolina invested in a statewide network of paved thoroughfares and became known as “the good roads state,” recognizing that the lifeline of economic growth was a statewide transportation network.

That diverse composition of people, that love of freedom, that gritty work ethic, that esteem for education and that common sense approach to economic development combined to create the robust environment in which North Carolina’s capital city today thrives.

An eclectic city of more than 350,000, Raleigh today is so much more than just the capital of North Carolina, the nation’s 12th most populous state. It is the home to the state’s largest university, two historically black colleges, and two women’s colleges.

In 1959, North Carolina combined its priorities of education and economic development to create the Research Triangle Park, located between Raleigh and Durham. Using Duke University, the University of North Carolina and North Carolina State University as its capstone, the Research Triangle Park developed into what today is the world’s largest research park, serving as home to more than 100 research and development organizations. The “park” is the furnace that keeps Raleigh’s economy sizzling and its lifestyle chic.

But Raleigh recognizes its unique heritage and good fortune and is carefully positioning itself as an American urban showplace for the 21st century.

While cherishing its past, Raleigh is intelligently developing its economy, its environment and its culture.

Raleigh NC is blessed with a natural beauty second to none and a healthy environment. While welcoming some 10,000 new residents annually, it is protecting its scenic landscape and abundant resources through sensible zoning and development restrictions that protect water, trees and air quality.
