Raleigh, the capital city of North Carolina, welcomes renters with tree-lined streets and a rich heritage that earned it the nickname "City of Oaks." Historic buildings stand alongside modern developments throughout downtown, creating an appealing mix of old and new. As part of the Research Triangle region, Raleigh offers proximity to North Carolina State University and career opportunities across technology, healthcare, and government sectors. The rental market remains steady, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $1,389 - a rate that's seen recent modest decreases.
The city's neighborhoods each have their own character, from North Hills in Midtown with Cameron Village Shopping Center to the preserved Victorian architecture in Historic Oakwood. The Glenwood South district puts entertainment and dining within walking distance of many apartment communities. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate Raleigh's 8,100 acres of parks and 78 miles of greenway trails connecting different parts of the city. The local bus system and expanding infrastructure make getting around convenient, while the NC Museum of Art, CAM Raleigh, and other cultural venues keep residents connected to arts and culture. These amenities, combined with relatively affordable living costs, continue drawing people to this growing Southern capital.
