If you are looking for a region that
offers something for everyone, you will find it in the Triangle. From the
historical influences of its Southern plantation homes, to the modern
advances of the Research Triangle Park, this area has moved into the
future without forgetting its past. The neighborhoods of Raleigh, Durham
and Chapel Hill are the essence of this North Carolina region. While new
construction is following the predetermined paths established by the
Interstate and inner and outer beltways, older homes closer to downtown
are being renovated to preserve the architectural heritage of these
cities. Outlying towns are quickly becoming
the neighborhoods of choice for many newcomers. As new communities are
built, retail and commercial developments are soon to follow. The outlying
municipalities of Garner, Clayton, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Holly Springs and
Morrisville are experiencing tremendous growth and are attracting
newcomers' attention with affordable housing options. Best known for outstanding
universities and colleges, the Triangle is home to N.C. State in Raleigh,
UNC in Chapel Hill and Duke University in Durham. While there is so much to see and do in the Triangle, residents love the fact that the coast is less than two hours away and a weekend trip to the mountains requires just a three-hour drive. Locally, there are several lakes that provide weekend retreats from the warm summer months. And William B. Umstead State Park provides a great escape outdoors for the entire family. Welcome home to the Triangle. We hope the information provided here assists you in getting familiar with what we hope will become your new hometown. We are glad you are here! |
