Well it seems to me that The Raleigh one would be closest to downtown,if you are talking about downtown Raleigh.

Reason: Edited quoted text
The first one you mention is located in the Method neighborhood. It is on the west side of the NCSU campus.
Method started a very long time ago as a "village" for freed slaves and has been historically a small African-American community, but in the past couple of decades has seen a big increase in the Muslim community as well, thanks to the Mosque there, and I *think* a community center.
It mostly has older houses, however alot of newer houses have been built on the neighborhood's fringes in the past 5 years.
As to your other needs-- it's pretty close to downtown...and has access to a couple of bus routes.
Also,if I may,Why is it you have asked the same kind of questions in the following forums:Austin,Portland,Cambridge,Boston?
I knew that somebody will ask me about this. I am interested in many states/cities (or you can say confused) and would like to know where in each one of them should I conduct a more extensive research. every city is very wide and diverse in everything and concentrating on one or two areas (neighborhoods) in each city would make my search/choice easier.
I know my questions are HEADACHE and not specific, but I have no other way to get the info i need.

They could be looking at all those cities for a possible move. If finding a good neighborhood near an Islamic center is a main requisite for a move...these forums are a very good way to do a preliminary weeding out of cities that won’t fit the bill.
It doesn’t have to be any sort of sinister reason.

Makes sense,quite a smorgasboard of areas though.Good luck.
