Review of Raleigh, North Carolina


Raleigh NC area and quality of life
Star Rating - 6/24/2013
I have been spending a fair amount of time over the last ten years in the Apex, Raleigh and Fuquay Varina area's of North Carolina and love the area.

I was born in California but grew up in Idaho and have lived everywhere over the years from Utah to Hawaii so am not Southern unless wishful thinking counts! I will be moving from Hawaii to North Carolina.

No where, even Hawaii, is Utopia but everywhere has great things about it and sometimes not so great things.

I bought a house in the Apex area for my upcoming retirement and am looking forward to kicking back and learning to be southern. I love the culture, the opportunities to try new things and the possibilities that exist. DC
