Thinking of trading in your old home for something a little more… luxurious? Considering a relocation to the beautiful city of Raleigh? Well, why not both?
Here are five reasons for buying a luxury home in Raleigh, NC.
Raleigh is Filled with Fun
From the excitement of Downtown Raleigh to the lovely trails of Umstead State Park to the exciting events at PNC Arena, Raleigh’s got a lot to offer. Art and history, outdoor recreation, nightlife and entertainment, shopping and dining… Raleigh has it all!
It’s A Big City with Small-Town Vibes
Despite all of its big-city resources, Raleigh really doesn’t feel like a “big city”—most of it is quite suburban and scenic. You can definitely find more urban options around Downtown or North Hills if you’re looking to be close to the action, but mostly, Raleigh is comprised of beautiful wooded neighborhoods.
It’s Not Called the “City of Oaks” for Nothing!
If you’re looking for natural beauty, you’ll find it in Raleigh. Not for nothing is Raleigh known as the “City of Oaks” (or even sometimes the “City in a Park”)… Raleigh is lush and filled with leafy green foliage. For luxury buyers, this means plenty of peace, privacy, and natural scenery.
It’s Got a Lot of Beautiful Luxury Neighborhoods
Particularly in the quieter and more wooded areas of North Raleigh, around Wake Forest and Falls Lake State Park, you’ll find a ton of beautiful luxury neighborhoods and communities. From lovely estates buried deep in the trees to stunning waterfront properties to extravagant golf course mansions, you’ll find a little bit of everything.
Pricing’s Not Too Bad, Either
In many cities, buying luxury means shelling out millions of dollars. But in Raleigh, you can find a lot of luxury listings for as low as $500k! What’ll that get you? Lots of square footage, plenty of beds and baths, and a decent-sized yard (and maybe a pool), too!
What about those more extravagant properties? In the $800k range, you’re looking at a few acres, most likely a pool or large patio, and probably about 5k square feet. You’ll definitely find some options in the $1 million price range, if you want to get really extravagant, and there might even be one or two ultra-luxury homes in the multi-million dollar range.
