Five Points. It's all about the neighborhood. A handful of parks full of neighbors, sidewalks, and a vibrant, diverse demographic. Walk to five restaurants, the Rialto theater (new ownership bringing movies, music, comedy, and special events), two drugstores, a post office, a fantastic wine shop, and charisma galore. This zip code has the highest difference between median and average income, demonstrating the economic diversity.

Downtown Raleigh. A very diverse housing stock. Historic Oakwood, The Fairweather, RBC Tower, and many new townhome developments are changing Downtown. You probably know the restaurant scene has been great for decades; throw in Museums (From contemporary to kids), artists, food halls, excellent public transportation, and a lot of festivals (International Blue Grass, too many music and cultural festivals and events to name), even a Christmas parade.

From the west end of Five Points to NCMA, this area is residential bliss. Quiet, convenient to employment in Mid Town and Downtown, and the most accessible access to RTP and Cary inside the beltline. Fantastic tree-lined streets, a favorite of Raleigh locals, they are now tearing down and building anew in the neighborhood where they were raised.

North Hills Plus
This rapidly changing area is anchored to the south by the area just north of 27608 and goes north of Millbrook, including North Hills and all of the glamour that entails. This area is one of the fastest appreciating in Raleigh. The prices are a little deceptive as many low-priced homes are selling, and new owners immediately replace them with custom homes.
