Raleigh is innovating by the day....This is definitely the place to be. Thank you for the video.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

It really is!

[@brendanreilly4675]

Hope I can move here before it gets too overcrowded and demanding. And I’m only a junior in high school currently so I’ve still got university to complete at the same time😣 but at least I’m a close distance, I’m in Richmond Virginia only 2 and a half hours

[@gsentinel4821]

When you view it from a distance, (Especially from Route 440) you can see that North Hills is actually slowly developing it's own Skyline, separate from downtown Raleigh - Which is why its been branded as Midtown, it's almost like it's own city.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Absolutely. That new building they are working on is tall!

[@KA-mq4wj]

Thank you for this video. I live in Cary but had no idea how much North Hills has grown these past years wow! You’re a great tour guide

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you! Have you checked out Fenton in Cary yet? It’s like a mini North Hills

[@BlazinStreets]

Landed my first job in North Hills in the office building. Love it so much. Very convenient.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

That is awesome!

[@BlackOperations530]

15:12 in the video was the "WOW" factor for me! The tavern below ground level with what appears to be surrounded by waterfalls on all four sides! North Hills is beyond question a city within a city!😃 Take it from me who has been a resident of Charlotte for 37 years, RALEIGH HAS GOT IT GOING ON! In my opinion, Midtown is what the city of the future should like!😃 Chris Morton, great video! So glad I came across your youtube channel!😃

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you for the nice comments and yes we agree! Raleigh has a lot going on

[@Sarah-tl8vp]

This area looks amazing. Thank you for putting all of this together. I am starting with Charlotte for my relocation but in my upcoming house hunting trip, I may be swayed to take a day and look at these areas in the North Hills.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you for watching and for your comment! Reach out to us if you do decide to check out the Raleigh area and we can give you some good info!

[@thewind6047]

Hope you have some money! 1bed Rent in NH is anywhere from 2200-4500 and homes start near a million. You can find some studios to rent for maybe 18 or 19 but that’s as low as they get

[@thewind6047]

Live about 15 minutes away from NH (brier creek area) its still nice, its a bit cheaper and is in the middle of everything

[@starticegalmore8602]

I’m pretty much in love just from watching the video! I can’t wait to move!!!!

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Glad to hear!

[@eaglei0n]

I must say I’m completely flloorrred! Blown away to say the least. I lived in Raleigh for a very long time and remember north hills mall and when this whole “Midtown” area was nothing but trees. The last time I was there was like 7 years ago at massage envy. We stayed at the Renaissance hotel. All of that across from North hills wasn’t there!! OMG I’m beyond AMAZED

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Yep it's grown rapidly and the new expansion will be amazing when it's complete! Thanks for watching

[@zoriya7224]

Me too...I loved the old North Hills. It is really unreal how much everything is changing and how much it will change with Apple coming.

[@BlackAngus555]

@@zoriya7224 I grew up with it during the 90s, even though looking back it didn't look like much it was a stable in my childhood, I loved the old North Hills mall too.

[@kimberlil4290]

The first place I visited in Raleigh on my first visit in 2019 was that park behind Chuy's. And Chuy's is my client and my company printed that yellow banner on their building! :)

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

That is awesome! Chuy's is a great restaurant and amazing area! Thanks for joining us on our North Hills tour!

[@novadhd]

Amazing area thanks for taking time to show us. I prefer the main district over the more urban new part.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thank you! Both sides are having a transformation

[@cyndigirl418]

As a native New Yorker, this area is very impressive! So far, I've only looked to relocate to the suburbs, but I may have to look at this area! Thanks so much!

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

North Hills is definitely an area to check out! We had a lot of fun filming this. Thanks for watching!

[@PianoTribe]

I wonder what the environmental/LEED standards are for these new buildings

[@rpd8174]

Oh wow that place is so nice

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

It sure is!

[@arielparker3206]

Like your videos! I miss things like charm, courtesy and hospitality. My soul is dying here in nyc and trying to figure out a space in Raleigh or surrounding areas where I could settle in now solo. Any particular sections with a lot of nice stores to visit, so I can branch out and learn how to make friends again? :)

[@RaisedUP2]

Your videos have inspired me to lay out a plan to leave south Central CA area. The weather is exceptionally wonderful here but in almost every other way it's time to leave. I was wondering are their many rental properties for 3 to 4 bedroom town homes and homes in the surrounding Raleigh suburbs? If yes what are the average rental price and are there long term rentals available? And if possible it would be a tremendous help to know more about the suburban area towns neighborhoods make up, the grocery stores and other interests and services in the area. Thank You.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

So glad we were able to help! Yes, you can rent a 3-4 bedroom home and most of them are anywhere from $1400-$2200/month depending on where it's located. It's of course it's going to be more in the expensive areas, and less on the outskirts and some of the surrounding suburbs, so it really depends on what location you choose to live in. We've got a lot of content planned to show more of what the different areas around the Triangle have to offer. Appreciate the feedback, it helps us decide what videos people want to see more of.

[@ibezimokehie9526]

"I spend a lot of time eating in North Hills" that's a LOL comment. Thanks for nice informational video. I think you should have expanded your tour to include the area AROUND North Hills up to Wake Forest Rd at least to the Falls of the Neuse intersection AND also down to Costco, Duke Raleigh Hospital. You didn't even mention the whole Quail Hollow residential area on Hardimont Rd. Lots' to see around there, that's lot's of REGULAR, older middle class neighborhoods. They're part of the North Hills scene too !

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Thanks. This video was already pretty long without adding all that extra. More to come.

[@chantadunn2426]

I really do hate they took away Jcpenney it was there forever...the nostalgia is lost of old school North Hills😣

[@wbharris1031]

I miss Andy's Pizza and Scotty's Grill.

[@gsentinel4821]

I concur. I used to shop there exclusively.

[@gregorycyr9272]

Thanks!

[@aaronbynum8968]

This is great and all but as a person from Raleigh having lived here my whole life I would like something done about our transportation

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Completely understand

[@MrRalboi919]

Rapid bus transit and commuter rail on the way.

[@gregorycyr9272]

@@MrRalboi919 How long is that gonna take to get done?🤔

[@BlackAngus555]

I legitimately haven't been to North Hills since before the old mall was torn down in 2003. So I'm definitely wanting to see how much everything has changed in the last 20 years.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

You’re going to be shocked!

[@BlackAngus555]

@@LivinginRaleighTV If u don't mind me asking, when did the old mall start going downhill? Cause I remember when I was a kid even though I'm sure it was going downhill during it's last 10 years, but it seemed like it had a following from what I remember, it seemed like there was still a lot of business in the old mall. And at the same time is there any kind of pics from the old mall over the years? I vaguely remember anything other than what I can find online.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

The new north hills has been there for quite a while now. I’m not sure when it started going down hill, but probably the 2000s. It’s always interesting to hear from people who remember the old mall.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Seems a lot of people have no idea it was something else before.

[@BlackAngus555]

@@LivinginRaleighTV I think it would be cool to show like a tribute to the old mall by having a kiosk of what the old mall and surroundings used to look like, kinda of what they do for other locations by showing old school people what they remember, and also showing the history of the location to the newer generation so that they can appreciate the history, but I don't know if it would be that important, I'm just a huge history and nostalgia buff.

[@leopuerto8039]

I just came to Charlotte for a wedding and compare to Raleigh, Charlotte is miles away. Moving to Charlotte instead shortly as the high prices for Raleigh are driving me away. Raleigh is having high prices like a large city without the benefits of a big city. Most definitely not worth it from someone that has been living now in Raleigh for a full year

[@venusrain369]

You forgot to mention Quail Ridge Books.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Yes! Thank you! We are going to do a follow-up on North Hills - something like "Cool shops in North Hills" and we will feature Quail Ridge.

[@vineeta2242]

what is transportation like over there? Do you have trains/busses ?

[@SweetFace11607]

Great video!!! Do you know if there’s a Google or Apple moving into those office developments? I heard one of those giants bought land in NC.

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Not sure what exactly is coming to these particular developments. There was talk about Apple building a campus somewhere in the state and likely in the RTP area, but plans seem to have been cancelled or postponed. Hopefully we'll know more soon.

[@L1L2L3L4S]

Are there any furnished apartments available at North Hills?

[@LivinginRaleighTV]

Not that we know of. We have a list of short term rentals and some of them are furnished, but I don't believe North Hills is on the list.

[@Tmunz7]

Where are all the people? I see plenty of cars but hardly anyone walking. Really nice looking area though!

If you are against adding more useless office space in the North Hills area, please post here. This is a stupid project, because most of the space will never be leased.

[@wbharris1031]

It would be nice t have the space utilized more for things we actually want. I've lived in North Hills my entire life and the vibe has changed so much. I understand change is inevitable and the recent change has been good for the area but I'm not sure if more offices is the change we should be going towards.
