Relocating to Raleigh Area (Durham, Wake Forest: house, neighborhood, to buy)

[129boomer]

My wife and I are considering taking a position in the Raleigh area. We have 2 little ones and currently live in Mass. If anyone could help us out, it would be greatly appreciated!

How does the school system work?

Does anyone know what the typical Fidelity relocation package is?

What are some good towns for families?

Thanks so much!

The "Search" feature is your friend.

These same questions get asked dozens of times each week.

Thanks! I did use it and found some good info on schools and communities.. but nothing on the relocation question.

we moved here from Boston five years ago. Lived in Georgetown on the North Shore. We rented a house in North Hills while we looked around. We looked everywhere and chose the Heritage neighborhood in Wake Forest. It's a golf community, got a neighborhood swim team, good schools (option for both traditional and year round, also a local charter school).

Lots of folks from all over, including a large group of Sox fans.

We're not part of Fidelity but thought this might help. We're actually building another house in the same neighborhood so if you're looking to buy/rent, we have a five/six bedroom house on the market!

Hi-

My wife and I have 2 little ones as well and we are in a very similar situation. We moved to CT from Watertown, MA and are now looking in Raleigh-Durham. Going down Columbus Day Weekend to get a feel. I'd love to chat with you.
