Why do we love living in Raleigh NC? And how did this Australian family end up moving to Raleigh in the first place? Today I’m sharing all that and much more in this blog post down below. 

It’s Like Living In A Forest

In case you don’t know, Raleigh is nicknamed the “City of Oaks” for its sheer number of majestic oak trees which line the streets.

Cool Capital City

It is the second largest city in NC after Charlotte, and is the largest city in the area known as the Triangle region that consists of Raleigh – Durham – Chapel Hill.

Downtown Raleigh in particular has undergone a huge revitalization in recent years and become a vibrant place to visit and live with lots of cool cafes, bars, breweries, award winning restaurants, food halls, world class museums, festivals and events, arts and cultural activities.  

Not Too Big, Not Too Small

Raleigh has certainly grown a lot since we first moved here in 2004, especially downtown and with some of the sprawl in North Raleigh, however it still doesn’t feel like a big city to me like say Atlanta or Charlotte, and still has plenty of that small town feel.

As Australians who grew up by the beach, we love that Interstate 40 (I-40) runs past the outskirts of town and we can be at Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach in two hours.
