Suburban Urban: More dense and urban than North Raleigh, but not quite at the density of neighborhoods inside the beltline, Midtown can be described as "Suburban Urban." Some residential communities, like North Hills, North Glenn, and Quail Pointe, are walkable to shops and restaurants in and around Midtown.
Nestled geographically between North Raleigh and Downtown Raleigh, Midtown Raleigh is situated just above the Interstate 40 beltline and includes a combination of residential, commercial, and mixed-use areas. Midtown Raleigh has seen a recent revitalization and renovation of 1960s and '70s housing stock.
Key Features
Access to Major Shopping and Dining: Though separated by less than two miles, Midtown features two of the region's most popular shopping areas, North Hills and Crabtree Valley Mall. Depending on your mood and the weather, you can pick your shopping mall of choice. (Crabtree Valley is inside and North Hills shops are outside.)
