Hayes Barton is a community rooted in history near downtown Raleigh
Directly north of downtown Raleigh, Hayes Barton is a desirable historic neighborhood established in the early 1900s. The neighborhood was designed by Earle Sumner Draper, a well-known landscape architect, who approached his design from a naturalistic perspective. Rather than leveling hills and removing trees, Draper preferred to allow the natural surroundings to dictate the neighborhood’s layout. Many of the homes here were built in the early to mid-20th century, with each house reflecting unique architectural designs. "Hayes Barton has homes from the 1910s and 1920s all the way to 2015, so it really runs the gambit," says Kathy Pitney, a local real estate agent with Keller Williams Elite Reality. Even with its proximity to downtown, this neighborhood has a somewhat suburban atmosphere thanks to tree-lined streets and a distinct separation of residential and commercial areas, and that atmosphere has long been a draw for buyers here. The neighborhood was developed as a place where residents could feel removed from the city without being too far away. Today, between its central location and the highly rated schools that serve this area, Hayes Barton is home to a population full of working professionals and families.

Colonials and Craftsmans with a median price of over $1 million
Single-family homes in Hayes Barton often showcase popular 20th-century housing styles and custom architectural features. Colonial Revivals, Craftsman-style homes and Georgian-inspired properties are abundant throughout the neighborhood. These stately, character-filled homes are complemented by large green lawns accentuated with brightly colored plants and landscaping features. However, according to Pitney, Hayes Barton has also seen its share of new construction pop up alongside several other historic Raleigh neighborhoods. Depending on square footage, homes here can cost anywhere from $550,000 to over $2 million, with a median price of approximately $1.2 million. "The highest price point I've seen is about $2.5 million," Pitney says. Compared to the overall median price of homes throughout the Raleigh metro area – which is approximately $470,000 – the housing costs in Hayes Barton trend significantly higher.
