Colonial homes are common sight in Glenwood.
Beautiful homes are close to parks, museums and downtown Raleigh
The Glenwood area of northwest Raleigh offers proximity to downtown and a coveted North Hills location inside Interstate 440. As Realtor Gretchen Coley, with The Coley Group/Compass Realty explains, “Major highways separate neighborhoods in significant ways. Homebuyers in Raleigh who want top schools and high-quality homes can certainly find that in Glenwood. But this location also gives residents the flexibility to use or avoid the interstate depending on traffic. There’s a lot of construction on I-440 these days, so commute planning is a daily consideration; buyers will pay for a flexible location if they can.”
While Glenwood is located just five miles from historic downtown Raleigh, it has a decidedly established, suburban vibe.

Homeseekers will find top schools and desirable shopping and dining destinations within a mile from home. Glenwood is home to more than 15 public, private and charter schools.
