Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" and is also the capital city of North Carolina. Raleigh boasts more than 9,000 acres of parkland and almost 1,300 acres of water, offering recreational activities year-round. Raleigh has historic neighborhoods, top-rated restaurants, world-class museums, beautiful outdoor green spaces, exceptional performing arts and live music venues, local shops and breweries.
Raleigh has been a hub of job growth recently, which largely includes the Research Triangle Park (RTP) and is one of the most prominent high-tech research and development parks in the entire country. The park is home to more than 300 companies that employ 55,000 workers.
Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NCSU) together with Durham (home of Duke University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
With so much to see and do in Raleigh, coupled with the exceptional quality of life it affords people, it's no wonder Raleigh is consistently in the Top 10 places to move in the country!
