    What it’s like to live in University Park

    Historic character with academic accessibility defines University Park, where this established Raleigh neighborhood borders NC State University.

    King Charles

    What it’s like to live in King Charles

    University influence shapes King Charles, where Raleigh's established neighborhood near North Carolina State University offers quieter alternatives to undergraduate-dominated districts. The area features mid-century ranches and modest apartments at more reasonable rates than downtown despite similar access to urban amenities. Though some properties show their age with vintage quirks requiring maintenance knowledge, the established tree canopy provides natural beauty and cooling shade during Carolina summers – advantages impossible to replicate in newer developments with recently planted landscaping. The primary advantage remains the balance of academic accessibility with residential tranquility, creating ideal environments for graduate students and faculty seeking separation between educational environments and personal living spaces beyond purely campus-adjacent options.
