34 REASONS WE LOVE LIVING IN RALEIGH, NC (AMERICA’S BEST KEPT SECRET)

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.

So many things. Raleigh, NC regularly tops the “best cities to live and work in the US” lists and we understand why.

We love that when you fly into Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) it’s like you’re landing in the middle of a forest, and RDU is only 20-minutes from Downtown Raleigh!

1. It’s Like Living In A Forest

2. Cool Capital City

Although historic and the capital city of North Carolina, Raleigh has youthful energy and is a vibrant place to live.

3. Raleigh Is Laid Back, But Far From Sleepy!

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.

When I’m asked to describe Raleigh compared to other places I’ve lived, or visited, the comment I always end with is “it’s not too big, not too small”. For me, it’s just about the perfect size!

4. Not Too Big, Not Too Small

5. Central East Coast Location

One of the main things we love about living in Raleigh is its central location on the East Coast and close to so many other great places.
