Best areas to live in the triangle for young professional (Raleigh: apartment, to rent)

[ashleyNC]

Hi! I am relocating to the triangle and am looking for nice areas to live. I am a single 26 year old female looking for an area with a lot of restaurants/bars and things to do within walking distance but is also safe. I will be traveling throughout the triangle but centered around northern raleigh.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

North Hills maybe?

What's your approximate price range? And are you intending to rent or buy?

North Hills. Lots to do there and you can hop a taxi if you want to go out downtown on the weekends.

I will be renting and am hoping to get an apartment for around $800 or less. I have also heard good things about the warehouse district? Thanks for your suggestions so far!

Downtown Raleigh can't be beat. Warehouse District is one of the districts in Downtown Raleigh. $800 in Downtown would be hard though. North Hills and Cameron Village also come to mind. They are about 5-10 mins from downtown.
