Most of the suburban neighborhoods in Raleigh, especially on the north and west part of town, arae "family friendly". Moreso in Cary, Apex, Morrisville, or Wake Forest, depending on what you wanted to be near. No issue with the Asian detail, though there arae a lot of South Asians in Morrisville.

There are plenty of Asians (of all types) in Cary/Morrisville area. Something to consider.

My house in 27610 is very safe. My neighborhood is definitely diverse with a lot of different nationalities represented. There are unfortunately bank owned houses around

How much do you want to pay for a home? Will you rent first?

Cary and Morrisville have large Asian populations. In fact, the largest Asian grocer in the area is located in Cary (Grand Asia Market). There are Chinese and Korean churches scattered around, a Vietnamese cultural center in North Raleigh, a large Hindu temple in Cary/Morrisville, a Tibetan buddhist center in West Raleigh, and likely other venues of which I am unaware. Lovefall, you don't mention which part of Asia you're from, so I'm just offering a variety of suggestions.

In general, this entire area is family friendly. You should do well as long as you continue your research. You may consider renting in an area you've already determined to be safe, then finding a house once you're more familiar with the area.

OP I lived in that zip code for a while and it was fine, but zip codes cover a fairly large area and there are some pockets of that zip that aren't the greatest areas.

Generally most or Raleigh and the surrounding suburbs are family friendly. It's a very comfortable, family friendly kind of place.

Thanks ! Shellsd, med_whatever, lamishra, Taynxtlvl....

I did some research. I have this feeling: inside the belt , or just on the belt , is not that great, needs to be avoid, is that right?

I would like to pay as much as less for housing , as I said, I still have 3 years of school , I just cant stay in Midwest any more, the weather will kill me . Have been here 5 years, tonado every year, all I saw here is most car asccident, death, injure, cancer,,,,,, not a happy place, and school is not great, I need move my kid out of here, so cant wait till I get my degree.And, I only doing part time here too, because of my school, so job is really not a concern yet. I think it wont be hard to find a cafeteria job or some labor job in Raleign.

Thanks, everybody have a good weekends!
