Valley Crest Apartments for Rent

Valley Crest is a small neighborhood in Raleigh, North Carolina situated just off of Lead Mine Road in the 27612 zip code. Homes here are quite large with beautiful landscaping and brick exteriors.

This family-friendly part of town is light on traffic and heavy on community features such as schools and churches. On the corner of Lynn Road and Lead Mine Road, Lynn Road Elementary School and Williams Park Community Center are located. Between the two there are a number of amenities popular with residents and their families. There are a few multiple purpose fields, a track, tennis courts, a volleyball court, and even a nice playground for younger children.

Another popular place is Sertoma Art Center off Millbrook Road. The art center is where many get together for a variety of different art classes. It is a great place to socialize and learn new crafts.

Valley Crest is near one of the better recreation areas in Raleigh, Shelly Lake. What it lacks in amenities, the lake more than makes up for in natural beauty. A public dock makes it possible to access the lake for fishing, kayaking and wildlife viewing. There is also an excellent trail, Greenway Trail that provides a few miles of incredible sights for the walkers, runners and cyclists that use it on a regular basis. The trail starts at the park and runs throughout the surrounding neighborhoods.

There is also a popular Shriners Club off Lead Mine Road known for its dedication to philanthropic organizations.
