Where is Raleigh? We are centrally located about halfway between New York and Florida (within a day’s drive of each) and we’re close to the beach and North Carolina Mountains!
We don’t have the big ticket tourist attractions here, it’s more of a place to live, which I like.
There’s an exciting mix of traditional southern food and global flavors (many restaurants receiving national recognition), and with two downtown food halls the community is coming closer together.
This is a thriving Southern city that’s getting shaped by smart and savvy locals and is bursting with entrepreneurial spirit and energy, and it’s definitely become one of the best places to live in North Carolina!
It’s not just the food scene that has grown in prominence, and I can personally vouch that the craft beer scene is up there with the best in the nation!
Just like the food and beer scene, the coffee scene has improved considerably over the years with new places opening up regularly, and as coffee addicts, this just adds to the reasons we like living here.
We love our walks and bike rides, and if you do too you’ll love the fact that there are 180 miles of greenway trails here. And when people ask me about things to do in Raleigh, it’s hard to beat the trail system.
