We are looking to spend in preston village like neighborhood basically high end but also good school. Max budget is $1.5M (assuming it decently upgraded) and also looking to have atleast 1 bedroom on main level. Privacy is imp to us and at minimum of 6000 sq ft backyard.

Living in North Hills, I am both excited and a bit apprehensive regarding Kane's building projects. It will be such a great influx of business, yet the traffic is already brutal. As a mortgage lender, I'm excited about the homeownership growth. Great and informative video.

Growth for whom, the wealthy???? Most folks that are from Raleigh/Durham have been priced out of the market. We aren't excited about what's happening.

1) sunset 🌅 hills inside the beltline near downtown Raleigh 2) Hayes Barton east of Glenwood Avenue. Built inert 1920s 3) Bella Vista-off of creedmoor road north of the beltline. Diversity of styles. 4) North Hills-north of interstate 🛣️ 440. Very diverse mix of style. 5) Williamsborough-built since the 1960s and large stately homes 🏠. 6) North Ridge-golf course community off Falls of the Neuse Road. Close to N Hills mall 7) Country Club Hills-near Carolina Country Club inside of the belltline in downtown Raleigh. 8) Avalaire-houses worth at least $2 million on average. Home 🏠 to a $3.5 million house 🏠 9) Southern Hills Estate 🏡-a very gated community built from 2019 to present and worth at least $2.6 million. I need to go and visit

Only 4 out of the 9 are within the I440 belt-line? Would be interesting to see your #’s 10-20. We’re 20-30 year residents and have always viewed Hayes-Barton as the highest water mark. Wow is Raleigh changing. Thanks!

Stunning Neighborhoods. Thank you for this. Which city is better for downtown and luxury neighborhoods, Charlotte or Raleigh?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you. Both cities have a decent amount of luxury neighborhoods. As far as downtown, Charlotte wins, but Raleigh has a nice downtown as well as nearby Durham.

[@dieguirrin]

Disappointed to not see Stonemoor, Linville, Registry and Barony on this list. Those neighborhoods are worth looking at and can cost more than some of those that were listed.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

With the exception of Barony, those neighborhoods have lower median price point than the ones on this list, but they are very close. Barony is a very small pocket of homes in a gated community.

is there any reason why so few really nice homes have pools in north carolina? or maybe its just me?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Probably because of the bugs and amount of trees, but there are still a lot of pools in higher price points.

[@nunyabusiness7927]

It's so hot and humid here in the summertime that a pool is just a giant bathtub that costs a lot of money to maintain. Also, lots are getting smaller and smaller on new construction.

[@EricScherrer]

We have a pool and consider it a must given the heat and humidity! It's pretty much the only way to entertain guests between May and September. I don't envy anyone trying to put in a pool nowadays though, we had it put in right before COVID - got very lucky. We bought in 2012 at 288k and now could easily sell 500k+, crazy stuff.

[@nunyabusiness7927]

@@EricScherrer Generally speaking, a pool isn't very refreshing after July, unless you keep it open into October and use it then. Size and depth of the pool can be a factor, but most of them get too warm to be enjoyable by mid-summer.

@@jpmking9635 there isn’t any bad traffic ITB. The congested areas are all OTB

[@dmccalldds]

@@jpmking9635 I-440 is a sieve, and there is congestion at the portals to pass through in or out. (Minimum access highways always cause this on the surrounding city streets). However once you get a few blocks beyond it, there isn't any difficult traffic anywhere inside the beltline. That's because there are OPTIONS. Outside the beltline the design leans heavily on major arteries, and there are few of them per square 10 miles. This is why we had the debacle on 1/18/05. There was a marked difference in traffic flows ITB/OTB that day. We pretty much only have "horrible" traffic on I-40 during rush hour (RTP and around the SE Wake construction) and around Crabtree. Go to Atlanta or Northern Va. and see what I mean (those areas, btw, have "transit")
