Raleigh at a Glance
Southwest Raleigh Neighborhood
For those who want city amenities and convenience without sacrificing the benefits of country life, the Southwest Raleigh neighborhood is ideal. This area offers the best of both worlds in North Carolina’s capital city. Southwest Raleigh is uniquely located in the midst of Cary, Garner, and downtown Raleigh.
Just a short drive from North Carolina State University, visitors will find family-friendly neighborhoods that are far away enough from the city lights that residents can see the stars shining brightly in the night sky. Country dwellers will love the view while traveling home via Lake Wheeler Road. Lake Wheeler is one of several roads in the area that still has privately owned farms and ranches and a delightful sprinkling of horses and cows.
Lake Wheeler is also home to North Carolina State University’s large and well-managed dairy farm. Historic Yates Mill Park at the intersection of Lake Wheeler Road and Yates Mill Pond Road has beautiful hiking trails and is the site of an old grist mill. These are protected properties, a fact that ensures that the area will continue to be natural, wide-open spaces for years to come.
Southwest Raleigh contains a variety of neighborhoods that can meet the needs of a wide range of family sizes and price ranges. Lake Wheeler also offers quick and easy access to a variety of family entertainment. Residents enjoy several museums, restaurants, an amphitheater, and a year-round ice skating rink in downtown Raleigh. They also spend their time at Lake Wheeler Park, where they enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, and picnicking.
Residents of Southwest Raleigh live in beautiful woodland neighborhoods where they can still hear crickets and frogs chirping at night but know that downtown Raleigh and other Triangle cities are literally only a few minutes away.
