Major Neighborhoods in Raleigh

As the state capital, activities and opportunities abound in Raleigh. Thanks to North Carolina State University, it's one point of the Research Triangle, a triad of cities with big universities that also includes Durham and Chapel Hill. But if you're not getting an education or work in academia, there's The Ritz and the Lincoln Theatre for live indie bands, jazz, and other music. And whether you're a resident or visitor, you can't miss eating North Carolina-style barbecue, including a local favorite, The Pit Authentic Barbecue. Raleigh is also known as "The City of Oaks", so if you like places that are a little more green, it's still a fit for you! No matter what appeals to you most, you can find the best local moving companies from our list of recommended professionals.

Downtown Raleigh

Downtown Raleigh is an excellent choice if you're looking to be in the middle of activities and events. On the first Friday of every month, there's First Friday Raleigh, a celebration of culture, art, and community. Or try Live After 5 at City Plaza, a block party-style outdoor gathering hosting an eclectic mix of musical acts. And if you haven't had your fill of fun yet, you can head to Alchemy a popular nightclub featuring two full-service bars with local craft beers. Best of all, getting around is easy if you take the R-Line, a free public transportation service. If you’re relocating here, check out our list of reliable local movers who know how to handle the busy streets and parking to help make your move easier.

Village District

Village District is located just a mile northwest of Downtown, but thanks to its eponymous shopping center and other accommodations, you might never want to leave. There are beautiful pathways and a water garden at Fred Fletcher Park to explore. The neighborhood hosts popular seasonal events as well, including the annual Boo-ze Halloween Wine Walk, and the Live & Local Patio Series. The area is also pretty walkable, so don't hesitate to stop for coffee at Benelux Café after a day of strolling around, either. Planning on joining the community? Then you should know that part of the neighborhood is close to the university. So be sure to hire local movers who can maneuver through dorm move-in days and graduation.

Five Points

While close to the bustle of Downtown, Five Points has a much more laid-back and suburban vibe. That's probably due to the historic sections of the neighborhood — some of the bungalow-style homes date to the 1920s. There's also the revamped Rialto Theatre that's been around since the 1940s and still shows classic films today. At least one visit to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, but you'll likely have to take more than one trip to see all of its six facilities on five campuses. Locals also adore Bloomsbury Bistro, which has a seasonal menu of French-inspired and New American dishes. Before you start packing, look into hiring local movers to help with handling the relocation for you.

North Hills

North Hills is a lively, upscale neighborhood that you'd never, ever believe used to be a strip mall 60 years ago. It's still got some premium shopping, though, with over 130 local stores, restaurants, bars, and spas, including all the amenities at the Renaissance Raleigh Hotel. Once you’re here, be sure to visit Midtown Park, an outdoor gathering space surrounded by luxury apartments that host a variety of fun events year-round. If you're a fitness buff, you'll enjoy living right around the corner from some great health stores and gyms, like Dose Yoga + Smoothie Bar. And when planning your move here, lessen the stress by hiring local movers. You'll be glad you let the pros take over the logicists.

They called me the day of my move and were let me know what time they'd be arriving and were right on schedule. They got to work right away, and unloaded a full 16 foot truck in an hour and a half. They were quick, efficient, and were asking where to put certain items of furniture to make moving it ourselves less of a pain. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would, these guys were amazing.
