Homemont Apartments for Rent

Homemont is a residential neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina.

The neighborhood is close to the Five Points entertainment district of Raleigh. The suburban neighborhoods of Five Points include Bloomsbury, Hayes Barton, Roanoke Park, and Vanguard Park. In the 1920s, the progressive reformers planned this neighborhood with the future in mind. Five Points is still an escape from hectic, urban living, but is a short drive from the working and playing areas of downtown Raleigh. Favorite restaurants in the neighborhood include the Bloomsbury Bistro and Lilly’s Pizza. The Bistro was mentioned in USA Today, Bon Appetit, and Southern Living for its classic French cuisine. Lilly’s Pizza was voted “Best in the Triangle” for its menu, now known for featuring organic food.

Homemont is close to the North Carolina Museum of Art. The museum contains over 5,000 pieces of art and is known nationally and internationally for its Modern Gallery, African Gallery, and Ancient Gallery. The traveling works artists, including Matisse, Picasso, and Ansel Adams, have been featured here. The Blue Ridge is the museum’s restaurant, which serves its diners eclectic fare to accompany its visual and culinary art. For shoppers, the museum store has books, jewelry, gifts, and one-of-a-kind items.

The entertainment sport of women’s roller derby is close to the neighborhood. Since 2004, the Carolina Girls have been members of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association. The excitement of their home games take place on a flat track located at the J. S. Dorton Arena. The 5,110-seat arena is part of the North Carolina State Fair grounds. It became a National Historic Monument in 1972.

The Lake Benson Park provides fishing and boating from sunrise to sunset. The park is a family-friendly spot for picnics, kite flying, and football games. A trail is available for hikers, walkers, bikers, and runners.
