Thank you for the video! I am looking to move from California myself, from Orange County California. I am not in need for a house but an apartment just a 1bd and a budget of around $1,200-$1,300. Reading reddit and reviews online is overwhelming and can be misleading as well. Any tips or help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for a very thoughtful analysis! I hope to join you soon in relocating from the North to Raleigh, in this case, from Boston. Raleigh looks wonderful to me!

This is so helpful. Thinking about moving to the area and currently in Los Angeles.. originally from NYC... I have lived in other areas of the South but that was for school and short loved. I was worried but your discussion hit many of my concerns on the head. Thank you!

What an awesome video and introduction. My husband is originally from California and I am a native of NH. He moved to FL in 91 and I arrived in 2002. He is planning on working another 5 years and I most likely take early retirement. We are looking at NC for its 4 seasons. We thought of Asheville but are set on Raleigh due to exemplary health care. Although we are still a few years away from retirement, we will keep you in mind for our upcoming visits.

It's called "dating a city." I've driven all over the world and the US. What I have noticed is that when you have drivers from different cultures, the blend of those driving cultures causes the "bad driver-ism." When I say "culture" and "driving culture," I mean how they drive, which is regionally based (not ethnicity based). A driver from Texas drives different than someone from someone in LA, who drives different from someone in SF. In Northern Virginia, where I am, we have drivers from all over the US and world. It is the most chaotic driving I've seen outside the third world. But that's because of the mix of different driving styles. What else influences is, to your point, the aggressive nature of the population. Northern Virginia is the Type-A capital of the World, so driving is more assertive. Having "dated" Raleigh a few times, the driving is far more pedestrian than NoVA.

Completely agree. I grew up in LA and have a much more aggressive driving style because of it. The influx of people from all over definitely contributes to mishmash (and mismatch) of driving styles here!

I really liked your video and the fact that you touched on the political landscape of the area. Most Realtors shy away from that touchy subject. I am a native Rhode Islander (and also a Realtor) who moved to Central Florida 2 years ago. My wife and I are looking into areas of NC for our retirement move. I miss the four seasons, but I also want only a small bit of winter. It’s by far too hot here in FL for 6 months, so a more temperate summer would be nice. We also need access to healthcare and affordability in the housing market as we will be retired when we move in 2 years. Diversity is also a major factor as to where we land next.

It sounds like this area might be just what you’re looking for. Feel free to reach out anytime - 310-850-4855 - if you’d ever like to chat about the move. We’ve seen a ton of “half-backers” relocating here (northerners who move to FL, only to miss the 4 seasons and not like the excessive heat, so they come halfway back up to NC).

I moved to Raleigh proper after 30 years in Raleigh suburbs. I live in a downtown apartment right next to the main bus station. I have no car, but the buses can take me almost anywhere I want to go. I do a lot of walking and there are many places to go that are within a mile of my place. I have counted 50 or so restaurants within 5 blocks of me, so I plan to spend my first year downtown visiting a different restaurant each week. And I am just 3 or 4 blocks from museums and music venues. Raleigh has a lot going on, especially in the summer and fall, so on weekends there is always something to do. The only thing I don't like is this is a red state controlled by a deep red legislature. At least, we have a democratic governor to keep a little check on the legislature.

I love this recap - thank you for sharing!! I’d love to hear your favorite restaurants as you explore each week. We have so many good choices.

I’m thinking you’re not talking about some of the suburbs that used to be farming areas, lol! I’m a Massachusetts transplant, and lived in Southern California for many years, also. I moved here almost sixteen years ago, and I’m still told to go back where I come from by the native N Carolinians…even if I make a light hearted comment about not enough parking. The fact is this town had a population of fourteen thousand when I moved here in 2007, and the population is now around 33,000. If there is a tree growing, they cut it down and build a housing development, and transplants are taking over in their eyes. In a way, I can understand the resentment some of the people have towards us, especially now…politics and religion are a big focus around here. The city of Raleigh is completely different, probably because there are more outsiders. Very friendly, a good mix (I think) of activities, great restaurants, ect. Don’t get me wrong, not all the suburbs are like this…Cary, Holly Springs, and North Raleigh are more diverse…but be careful of the more rural (or used to be rural) areas, it can be a different experience.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I think what you've mentioned holds true not only here but in many places across the country, especially when comparing the main city to its outlying suburbs. I grew up in Southern California and could find a very different environment if I headed 20 miles in any direction. This specific video was focused on my experience in moving to Raleigh, and while I've spent a lot of time in (and done a lot of deals around) the surrounding areas, I've only lived in Raleigh since moving to NC. I'm curious where you are that's grown from 14,000 to 33,000 in the last 17 years.

My family moved from CA to Raleigh decades ago, and I'd say that the hundreds of thousands of transplants and their families that previously relocated have make it much easier for subsequent transplants each passing year.
