Hello, I am a teacher who will be relocating from NYC to Raleigh NC. I am 27 years old and have NO kids. I was already offered a teaching position in the Wake County public school system. I just wanted to know what part of Raleigh is quiet, clean, diverse, beautiful and has reasonably priced homes or nice apartments. I would like to stay away from HIGH crime areas. I would prefer a nice development/subdivision. I need information as soon as possible so I can start visiting and setting up appointments for viewing. I must be down there by the first week of August. Please help with constructive suggestions.
i would rent an apartment near the school youll be at so you can learn the area and traffic patterns and buy or rent longer term in an area you definitely like
There are many great apartment communities in Raleigh but you need to know which school you will be working in to better determine which part of town you should live in.

Yeah, avoid the clusters of apartments near New Hope Rd or Green Road, which are close to that school. Also, generally you want to stay west of Capital Blvd. The subdivision of Brentwood has a lot of houses for rent, too, which might be an option other than apartments. We have a poster here who lives in Brentwood, so I'm sure she can steer you to what's in that part of town.
