Raleigh, NC is divided into seven areas, and each area offers something unique and different.

Downtown/Old Raleigh- If you’re downtown, you’re “inside the beltline,” which is the historic part of Raleigh. From the old Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel, the NC State Capitol and Shaw University, downtown Raleigh hosts a lot historical buildings as well as residential and commercial properties.

North Raleigh- A quickly growing suburban area with both established neighborhoods and new construction homes. There are a lot of shopping and commercial offerings and is typically considered the area north of Millbrook Road.

Midtown Raleigh- Just north of the I-440 Beltline and encompasses parts of North Raleigh. This is a residential and commercial area. (The term Midtown is typically only referenced for marketing purposes but still important to reference.)

East Raleigh- Encompasses Capitol Boulevard near I-440 to New Hope Road. Most of the developments run along the main corridors. East Raleigh hosts one of the oldest communities in Raleigh often featured as part of historical Raleigh.

Southeast Raleigh- Very diverse with new suburban areas and older inner-city neighborhoods. This area includes Rock Quarry Road, Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and New Bern Ave. Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion, the area’s largest outdoor venue, is in Southeast Raleigh.

South Raleigh- Located along US 401 and along US 70 into suburban Garner. This is the most rural and undeveloped area of Raleigh.

West Raleigh- Home to NC State University, Meredith College and the NC Museum of Art, West Raleigh sits along Hillsborough Street and Western Blvd.
