Good Place to Live

Raleigh has lots of trees and parks to enjoy. We live in North Raleigh which has many quiet neighborhoods close to shops, restaurants, and outstanding medical facilities. Raleigh has several exclusive, expensive neighborhoods and many mixed neighborhoods which integrate apartments, townhomes, and modest single-family homes. Unfortunately, Raleigh has been "discovered" and is becoming more and more crowded. It seems to be transitioning from a very large town into an actual city. The traffic is increasing and highrise buildings and road construction are making Raleigh a lot less beautiful. The public transportation system isn't very efficient, but bus stops are within walking distance of most neighborhoods. Raleigh natives are generally friendly, helpful, and trustworthy.
