Midtown Raleigh Has It All

People shopping for houses for sale in Raleigh often inquire about the area known as "Midtown" and it’s no wonder! There is no definitive border to Midtown, but most agree it includes the area north of the Beltline (I-440), stretching east to Falls of the Neuse Road, west to Glenwood Avenue and north to Millbrook Road.

Within the Midtown neighborhood are four different shopping/dining/entertianment districts: North Hills, Crabtree Valley, Cameron Village and the Five Points neighborhood. They are all within a short drive, and each of the areas have great walkability, adding to the appeal!

In addition to the shopping centers, you will find many eclectic local businesses, including breweries like Nickelpoint Brewing Co., Lilly's Pizza, Quail Ridge Books, Moon and Lola, and the Rialto Theater.
