Today we’re going high-end. What do you think of when I say Beverly Hills 90210? For most of us, it elicits images of luxury: mega mansions, fancy cars, and lots of money. So I got to thinking, what’s the 90210 of Raleigh?

So you’re interested in moving to North Carolina, but you’re asking yourself “what’s it like to buy property there?” It’s definitely good to get acquainted with the process before jumping in, especially since North Carolina has a few unique components that don’t really exist elsewhere in the US.

Raleigh-Durham - when people talk about the Triangle region, they often say these two names together, as though it were one city. It’s even in our airport code – RDU – where the R and D stand for Raleigh-Durham. So what’s the deal? Is it just one big city or are they separate cities? And which one may be right for you?

Raleigh is no longer America’s best kept secret, and around 80 people a day are flocking here from all over the country (and world). One of the biggest groups of people moving here is coming from New York, which accounted for nearly 10% of the entire population growth of North Carolina in 2021. Which prompts the question: why? And what’s it like to move from NYC to Raleigh, NC?
