I agree with aphibeach. Raleigh is not "inner city." In fact, some people complain that downtown is too small and not very impressive because we don't have a big sky line. But I think downtown is fine and Raleigh is a very spread out city so you can definitely get away from the downtown area if you want. I think most families prefer N. Raleigh but since I'm only a year out of school I still prefer to be near campus and on the Durham/Chapel Hill side of the city.

i 100% agree. also, look into newer towns forming around Raleigh. besides Cary (which is way too populated and makes suburbs of Raleigh look bad with their tacky rules), look into places like Wakefield (a new up and coming "town" which is now just an annex of Raleigh.....originally part of Wake Forest but they gave it to Raleigh for dumb reasons), North Raleigh (still considered Raleigh but i seriously don't know for how much longer.....its HUGE now), Wake Forest (about 20 minutes North East of Raleigh.....small town that holds the old Wake Forest University....this town has blown up....i went to high school here. i say live in Heritage if you do move up there, brand new schools and closer to the south end of Wake Forest), Apex (south of Raleigh next to Cary.....new and up and coming, beautiful town), Fuquay Varina (now you're getting pretty far out this is next to Apex but again another up and coming area). Those are pretty much the only "suburbs" of Raleigh......Raleigh really doesn't have any.....you either live in Raleigh or you don't
