I will check out in the next trip. I have to say on the drive up through Falls of Neuse just north of 440 it looked like strip mall heaven and very much like suburbia in Michigan, was hoping to avoid that. Creedmore was a lot more "green" on the way back down south and not congested with a store every 7 feet. There is just so much ground to cover and 1 area 3 miles away from another has a different feel.
I would have to agree with you, nothing like the drive on creedmore! That is the way I go home to wake forest, creedmore to 98 to purnell. Anyhow, it is a different feel. Six forks seems like they have more established neighborhoods that are older, not so cookie cutter. Definitely try it out next time you are here.
Good luck! Let me know if you have more questions.
To be honest with you, a lot of where you live may depend on where you are going to work, or how much of a commute you would want. There are many different areas in the triangle, and let's say you lived in garner, would you want to commute to north raleigh for work? Maybe not. If commuting is not a concern (my sister and brother in law moved down and he telecommutes, so they didn't care where they lived based on commute and used other factors in their decision making)....closer to downtown raleigh may work for you. There are definitely areas that would include walking to cafes, restaurants, shopping. Most of the neighborhoods surrounding the downtown area of raleigh are basically the burbs, you know lots of subdivisions, planned communities, etc. Another place I have showed clients and they have liked is the North hills section in north raleigh. there are condos there, but also older homes in the surrounding neighborhood. I have friends (late 20's) living in the condo's and they love it because they are close to restaurants, shopping, etc.
Anyhow, I could go on and on, but you can email me or PM if you have specific questions. I could narrow things down a bit if you could let me know more specifics about your move. Regardless, yes, there are areas where I think you could find what you are looking for..............
