Cost of Living in the Capital City
-
4/26/2010
As a 20+ year resident of the Capital City, I have seen Raleigh grow from a small town bursting at the seams to a Metropolis. Unfortunately, while the median home prices now exceed $200,000, the City Fathers are extremely slow in taking care of streets and widening the heavily-traveled ones to handle the increased traffic flow. Yet, property taxes continue to spiral upwards. I would encourage anyone planning to relocate or retire here, to consider these issues before moving here. There are a number of smaller towns in NC that are not as pricey.
