I've lived in Raleigh now for 9 years. My wife and I moved here from the Los Angeles area in April 1999. My wife was extremely hesitant to move from the West Coast to the Raleigh area for multiple reasons (i.e., proximity to family, slower pace, etc..). However, once we've settled in the area, the possibility and/or desire to move back West became null and void. The Raleigh area has grown, and continues to grow, and an exceptionally fast pace. However, despite the growth, the city somehow maintains the charm of a Southern city. People are friendly here. The weather is fantastic! The city is very green (number of trees). Downtown Raleigh is up and coming. The city is undergoing a revitalization downtown with new skyscrapers, condominiums, restaurants, as well as a new convention center currently under construction. And if you're a hockey fan, the Carolina Hurricanes is a hot ticket to have. Since winning the Stanley Cup in 2006, the Hurricanes have established themselves as a solid sports institution here in the area. This is great place all around. Come and check it out!
