WHAT IS MIDTOWN?
Midtown Raleigh is the place where smart city living meets traditional community, the area within a 2-mile radius surrounding North Hills - Think Trader Joe's to Shelley Lake - where you'll find:
- 24/7 walkable urban center
- Long established neighborhoods
- Thriving mix of businesses, schools, and churches
- Strong sense of community
- 12 miles of Greenway Trails and 10 City Parks
Midtown is a welcoming and progressive local center that delivers convenience and high quality lifestyle to a diverse population, young professionals to retirees. Whether new arrival, or longstanding resident, Midtown's strong sense of community connects neighbors and fosters a genuine sense of belonging.
Midtown has evolved from suburban to urban mixed use destination, a hub of commercial and residential activity that is distinctive in location and sense of place, and is becoming Raleigh's second Central Business District.
