West Raleigh — 8.8/10 Rating (based on 8 neighborhood reviews)

Home to the PNC Arena, state fair grounds, and near NC State's campus, West Raleigh is often immobilized by events drawing large crowds—a heads-up for local happenings is necessary to get around smoothly. I find myself only spending leisure time in Cary and West Raleigh, which offer plenty of activities—thrifting, art museums, parks, and some bars.

Post Parkside at Wade

We love the Fuquay-Varina area! Fuquay-Varina has a good balance of rural and suburban spots. There are numerous local gems within 10-minutes of us. If Fuquay-Varina doesn't have what you're looking for, Holly Springs is only 10-15 minutes away and it has most of the big retail spots. If you still can't find what you're looking for, Cary and Raleigh are only a 30-minute drive.

The Retreat

Lots of foot traffic around the complex, but never any problems with crime.
