Ok, off topic, but aren't parts of Orange County not necessarily the Triangle? For example, Mebane, Efland, and that other one that starts with an S and has a really long name?
Seems like a lot of people considering moving to the Triangle area think RTP is a town. I think of it as a 7,000-acre corporate park that while containing a few dwelling units and retail space is basically just a large collection of office buildings in a nice centralized park like setting surrounded by the many towns and cities that make up the Triangle.
Sometimes I get the feeling that people use the term "RTP" and Triangle area interchangeably.
It's not much different than people who say "Frisco" instead of "San Francisco" (like nails on a chalkboard to those of us who lived there and count me in as guilty for saying "Frisco" before I moved there. There's even a chain of gift stores called "Don't Call It Frisco"). Or people who say Ore-GON instead of OR-y-gun.
I don't (yet) live in the Triangle area but you can add me to the mix of people who thought RTP/RDU/Triangle were all interchangeable and thought that Durham was one huge slum and hotbed of crime. I've only been down for a few visits but it was enough to educate me on both fronts--real fast!
There are no single family homes, condo's, or apartments located on the RTP land. There are also no restaurants, dry cleaners, nail salons, or Starbucks. . . . . Only office buildings . . . . . and a hotel (Radisson).
Is not some of Alexander within RTP? There is town homes inside the RTP Business Park sign or is that not RTP grounds? See I live here almost 5 years and worked in RTP for 3 and still am not sure where it begins and ends. Is Kittscreek within the RTP grounds or at least is adjacent to it, right? I am so confused now...... I believe I heard an advertisement on the radio last fall that was offering homes within RTP too....

Correction. Davis Park, condos, row houses and lofts are in RTP. If you go to their website, it states they are in the heart of RTP. We have been looking at homes to buy and these are on the radar. There are apartments across the street.

Isn't Keystone Crossing in RTP as well (near the south tip of RTP)?

That's a marketing thing. Davis Park is in Durham.
I could be wrong about this but I think the charter of RTP indicates no residential (unless that was changed). Many places are popping up just outside and claim they are in RTP but in reality they are not.

Yeah look at the map, it's very strategically drawn...Miami is one border...you can be driving down Miami and one side of the street is Edinborough at the Park apartments in Durham, and the other is RTP.
Heck, my office is in Imperial Center, which is a huge corp park type thing including Quintiles, and we're technically not RTP even though our address is listed as such - we're Durham.
