Raleigh and the Triangle in general is a great place to live.
We have three great Research 1 level universitiesthat hire professors from the top universities in the country and do cutting edge research.
We have a very educated community with the highest per capital number of PhD's in the country and hundreds of technology companies.
We have an international airport with service to Europe, Canada and Mexico.
We have three very large malls and three smaller ones with stores ranging from normal mall shops to Nordstroms and Saks Fifth Avenue.
We have a very large science museum (NC Museum of Natural Sciences- largest in the southeast when it was remodelled), the Museum of Life and Science, North Carolina Museum of Art and North Carolina Museum of History. We are definitely not a backwards area like some are saying.
Yes overbearing HOA's are a problem, and I choose not to live in a HOA neighborhood. Raleigh has problems like any city it's size. Yes there are a lot of transplants from northern states, but as a NC native I get along with most of them. They keep comng, so obviously people want to come here. The area is growing very rapidly and consistently makes the list of top places to live.
We have a lot to offer for anyone.
