I'm looking to re-locate to the Raleigh/Durham area in the next nine months. I want to rent the first year. Where are family-friendly and affordable places to live? Is it best to work with a realtor? If so, whom? What are some website that feature housing that isn't craigslist? Thanks.
What do you consider affordable? Any particular amenities or community features you'd be looking for. I would describe this entire area as family friendly So cost, job location, and your individual tastes are going to help determine where you might want to look.
I want to be in a central location (near restaurants, parks, etc). I'd like to find a home rental for under $1,100 too. A friend of mine grew up in North Hills but I hear prices there are outrageous.
What are some website that feature housing that isn't craigslist? Thanks.
Try realtor.com and use the "Advanced Search" feature to specify rentals. There are lots of nice suburban-type homes under $1100 in Raleigh. Many of these are homes that Realtors would be selling under a better real-estate market, and they are now for rent. I'm not sure what you mean by "centrally-located", as the area is really spread out, and car dependent. Cary usually gets high marks for having interesting amenties, and there's "Five Points" which is supposed to be a walkable area. I'd also check some of the older areas of Durham.
