Top 10 Reasons

1. Great Location. Raleigh is very centrally located and has easy access to everywhere in the Triangle area. This is among the best places to live, start a business, raise a family, and earn a world-class education. Raleigh is only a few hours from the mountains and only a couple of hours from the beautiful ocean beaches.

2. World Class Health Care. Keeping your family healthy is important. The Triangle is an international center of medical care and research and has one of the highest concentrations of doctors and hospitals. Major health care providers include WakeMed, Rex Healthcare, Duke Raleigh Hospital in Wake County, Duke University/Medical Center and UNC Hospitals. These hospitals consistently rank among the highest in the nation.

3. The Road to Higher Education. Whether you are looking for high quality education for your children or yourself, we have it! The high quality of the Wake County Public School System continues to be a primary reason for families relocating to our area from other parts of North Carolina as well as across the nation. Our public schools rank very high across the board and consistently outperform other school districts across the state and the nation. Just give us a call. We would be happy to provide all of the latest school data.
We are home to several world class universities, Duke University, University of North Carolina and N.C. State. The entire Triangle has 18 colleges, universities and community colleges and has the highest concentration of PhD's in the country!

4. Career/Business Opportunities. Our residents can choose to work in a wide variety of industries, thanks to the business diversity in the Triangle area. Our 3 largest industries are government, education and health care. In addition, we are internationally known for our industry leading high-tech companies and industries that include biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, computer software and hardware, and textiles.

5. Climate and Recreation. Visitors from other parts of the country are always amazed by how friendly people are in the Raleigh area. From Raleigh, the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains are only a few hours to the west and the legendary Outer Banks are only a couple of hours away and all of the beaches along the Atlantic Coast. North Carolina is known for its mild weather year round and we still have 4 distinct seasons. We usually get a a very small amount of snow each winter so the kids can build their snowman and then the next day it usually melts with 50 degree weather! Mild weather means year-round outdoor activities whether you like biking, hiking, boating, swimming or sports. What more could you want?

6. Arts and Culture. Raleigh boasts a wide variety of world-class museums that are among the largest and best in the Southeast. The state's museums of art, history, natural sciences, and the Marbles Kids Museum offers exhibits for people of all ages to enjoy. If you like the theater, the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts and the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek provide plenty of opportunity to see exciting live performances. This area is also home to the North Carolina Symphony, the Opera Company of North Carolina, the North Carolina Theater, and the Carolina Ballet.

7. Sports?...Absolutely!. One of our favorite pastimes is cheering for our favorite championship teams. In addition to action packed college basketball and football teams of Duke, UNC, and NC State, we are also home to many professional teams such as the Carolina Hurricanes, NHL Stanley Cup champions, the Carolina Mudcats (AA Baseball), and the Durham Bulls (AAA Baseball)!

8. Shop 'til you Drop!. We have everything here from the small boutique shops to the large fantastic malls. Raleigh is a shopper's paradise with everything from Kohl's to Brooks Brothers, Nordstrom's and Saks Fifth Avenue. Between Cary, Raleigh, and Durham, you will find 5 major malls with more than 450 stores. Raleigh has Crabtree Valley Mall, Triangle Town Center, North Hills, and Cameron Village. Durham has its outstanding Streets at Southpointe Mall, and Cary has the Cary Towne Center. If you can't find it here, it does not exist!

9. Bon Appetite. With 100 restaurants and clubs downtown Raleigh alone, you can see why it is the place to be. When it comes to nightlife, you will find some of the hottest places around to dance or listen to some of the best live music. Our diverse mix of pubs, breweries and nightclubs are just a few reasons why everyone enjoys our area. We have some of the best restaurants in the South! Enjoy a good steak? Try our Angus Barn, ranked as one of the best steakhouses in America with the most outstanding wine list in the world according to Wine Spectator. How does our famous slow-cooked barbecue, fresh seafood from the coast, or homemade Italian cuisine sound?

10. Golf Galore. When it comes to golf destinations and outstanding golf communities, the state of North Carolina ranks among the most recognized in the world. The best part is that you can golf just about year-round. There is something here for every golfer from Raleigh's public access courses to Pinehurst's nationally known courses.
