traffic? not downtown - maybe on 440 and 40. parking is easy actually. there are decks all over downtown. and the homeless - there are maybe 50 people - the same ones every day and they disappear at night and dont sleep on the sidewalks. raleigh is a cake walk.

You must understand and properly use the phrase, “bless your heart”. 5. And most importantly...Down here, no one, and I mean no one ever roots for DUKE!

North Carolina’s 3 largest cities by population 2019. 1.Charlotte: 879.350 2.Raleigh: 558.456 3.Greensboro 301.112 After years of laying dormant, Greensboro’s downtown is starting to explode with big and impressive developments with nearly one billion dollars of development being poured into the CBD from 2017 to 2019, as Charlotte and Raleigh get more expensive, more people are moving to Greensboro which is causing the population to take off, as it’s still a pretty big city while being significantly cheaper in most parts, but still offering all the amenities you’ll get in Charlotte and Raleigh. It was only a matter of time before the baby brother started taking off, North Carolina has grown some beautiful cities with extremely high quality of life, amazing weather and climate, that’s why NC is one of the highest migrated states and is climbing faster and fast week to month.

Completely different to most cities here in the UK. Your roads are very straight and seem to be arranged in a grid pattern, with the buildings built around the roads. Here, ours are more windy and were laid long after many of the buildings were built. Some of our buildings are hundreds of years old, occasionally over a thousand. Also noticeable that there doesn't seem to be an actual focal point or major retail areas. In the UK, the centres of our towns and cities are full of shops and always busy.

This was probably recorded during summer vacation, school is out. Also, on a Sunday morning when almost everyone's at church or sleeping over from Saturday night drinking. The most amazing part is you still manage to get a 25min footage.

Couple of corrections. Moore Square isn't one of Raleigh's newest parks, in fact it's one of the cities oldest. When Raleigh was laid out in the 19th century there were four parks in the original plan. Two of those parks still survive and Moore Square is one of them. Raleigh's newest park is the 308 acer Dix Park, formerly the site of the the state mental hospital. The other thing is the Amtrak station. Raleigh's Union Station isn't refurbished, it's new, completed just a few years ago.

@@tymonster183 Ah, thanks. I had imagined it as being pretty moderate. I didn't think about the humidity. I've never actually been there, I've always lived in PA/NY/NJ and thought about moving south for somewhere that has a lower cost of living, is less liberal (but not far right-wing), and warmer (but not crazy warm like Texas). I've always thought Raleigh was among the best that fit that bill.

lived here my whole life and i love it!

@Cyn 7 Cyn I visted last week & yes there are a few hit or miss with Rolesville & Cary was actually my first choice to relocate but Rolesville I fell in love with & a guy friend of mine kept trying to get me to move to Fayetteville & I'm like no freakin way😬 I've been in Florida all my life born in Miami & raised in Orlando & the cost of rent here is ridiculously high my rent went from $1200 to $1400 within a year for a 2/2 2 1/2 bath condo it was a nice community but not worth that amount & now the 3bdrms are going for $1600-$1900... I'm excited for my move & if I don't like Rolesville after a year I'll probably try Chapel Hill I've heard great things about Chapel Hill. Thanx a bunch for the heads up on traffic😊

Real estate is getting ridiculous. Inside the beltline is out of control. Now developers are buying up all the old stock between 440 and 540 on the north side to bulldoze it and build 5000 sq ft McMansions on postage stamp lots. Wake Forest is getting just as bad.

@@joeheskett7225 The Raleigh-Durham area would meet those criteria IMO. I've been here 15 years and the population has grown rapidly in that time, which is why real estate prices have gone up so much over the last few years. I think they are probably commensurate with the national average for the most part though. The population growth has also led to more traffic though, and that's kind of a pain.

You should do Greensboro next, it's kind of sorta up and coming . We're getting first Trader Joe's and people are freaking out with excitement.

I've driven a lot of where you drove in downtown (passing through on McDowell Street coming home from a college campus in Fuquay-Varina for a long time) and other places. Good thing you turned when you did on certain streets since one missed turn could lead you out of downtown into the ghetto part of the city (like Blount Street past where you turned is dangerous since that is gang turf and also drug dealers that are all shoot first and ask questions never when outsiders get in their part of the city), would not reccomend going there in Downtown Raleigh and stay more towards the central part for safety.

The south side of Raleigh/Downtown is becoming gentrified. You're not going to have to worry about crime for much longer. Houses are selling for 300-500k around that area. People are slowly but surely moving north. Capital and surrounding areas are going to look how the south side of Raleigh looks now.
