Community Information

Raleigh and the Research Triangle area are consistently rated in national surveys as one of the best places to live in the United States.  Raleigh is the capital city and is just a short drive from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.  Located centrally on the East Coast, we are halfway between Florida and New York City.  When you combine our mild climate with the natural beauty of the region, you have a winning combination.

The benefits of living and working in the Raleigh/Research Triangle area are too numerous to list. Our community boasts an endless array of cultural, educational and entertainment opportunities, including:

• Several world-renown universities
• Art and history museums
• A planetarium
• The symphony, as well as local and regional theatre
• A variety of professional sports teams
• Specialty shops, galleries and outlets
• Fine dining, along with the freshest produce around at the State Farmers Market

These wonderful attributes make Raleigh and Wake County a premier community in which to live, work and play.  But don’t take our word for it.  We encourage you to visit us, and soak up some genuine Southern hospitality.  You may never want to leave!
