Research Triangle Park in North Carolina is the largest. Then there's a research park in Richmond, Virginia that is #3.

They are all different though. We were intrigued by this as well, and looked at Raleigh as a potential relocation destination as well, but Research Triangle Park is very pharmaceutical/commercial, where Cummings Research Park is more defense and aerospace. So for my husband, CRP has infinitely more job opportunities than Triangle does.

Right. I grew up in Raleigh in the 60's/70's. RTP really took off in the 1970's and early 1980's. Huntsville reminds me a lot of Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill at that time, poised to pop with growth in both business and housing.
