We will finally have the opportunity to tour the Raleigh area in July, and we will be viewing the area in hope of a future relocation. We will have about a week to spend there, and after doing tons of online research, we have narrowed our main areas of interest to N. Raleigh, Cary & Apex. We would love to view as many neighborhoods & communities that matches our criteria while we are there, and that is where your help comes in.
Our housing budget will most likely be between $400-$600. We are a mid 30's couple with a daughter about to enter kindergarten. Great public schools is a must. We currently send her to private, since the schools in our area are not great, so getting into an area with great public schools is high on our list of must haves. We are coming from a house that is on 3.5 acres, so downsizing to a lot that is .2 acres in not something we desire. I would say the minimum we would consider would be .5 (or a high .4) of an acre.
If you guys could help me gather a list of must see areas that would appeal to us, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, are there any communities that we would not be able to tour due to the neighborhood being private?
Reading through all these posts on here is very inspiring. There are so many positive things being said about the Raleigh area, that I can't wait to experience them for myself.
If you need more information, please let me know. Thanks!
