A mix of traditional homes and new construction
Residential streets are shaded by towering oak trees, behind which a collection of ranch-style, split-level and colonial revival homes sit. The neighborhood predominantly features single-family homes, with an average sales price of about $150,000. “These are established homes that are about 40 to 50 years old,” Veldman says. “Most of them have fenced-in backyards and two-car carports or attached garages.” Homebuyers can find three-bedroom ranch-style homes with brick exteriors and attached carports for about $125,000 to $210,000. In northeast Raleigh, small lakes such as Otter and Beaver Lake offer waterfront views and wooded lots with up to half an acre of land. New construction is also scattered throughout the neighborhood, with new traditional homes built in the early 2020s featuring open floorplans and quarter-acre lots, with prices starting at around $260,000.Public parks and community spaces in Raleigh
There are several green spaces scattered throughout Raleigh, including Harry C Pierotti Park, which has a tennis center with eight outdoor courts, a basketball court and a playground for kids to explore.

Along Austin Peay Highway, the Raleigh Springs Civic Center includes a pond with a paved walking trail, a concrete skate park and the Raleigh Library.

Teens attend Raleigh-Egypt High School, which also earned a C-minus and offers both Advanced Placement and dual enrollment courses. The county follows a General Choice Transfer process, meaning that students can apply to attend other public schools outside of their assigned pathway. The neighborhood contains several options, including public charter schools such as Star Academy, which serves grades K-7.Festivities with the Raleigh Community Center

For sit-down meals, Southern Hands is a homestyle restaurant known for its homemade cornbread and soul food, while Tokyo Grill serves Japanese hibachi, sushi and more.
