King Charles has a residential feel with new developments coming in
King Charles' proximity to downtown Raleigh has spurred new growth, including new developments and infill builds, in this largely residential community. "There's a lot of investment over there," says Jason Queen, founder of Monarch Realty Co in Raleigh . He explains that the area was first built out in the 1950s, but a lot of the city's wealth migrated to West Raleigh when Research Triangle Park opened a few years later. "The infrastructure from that time period is still there. There are huge, beautiful lots, and well-thought-out subdivisions," he says. He expects investment in this part of town to continue.
Personal yard features add character to King Charles residential streets.
