What it’s like to live in Midtown Raleigh
Midtown is a growing, busy area just a few miles north of downtown Raleigh and adjacent to North Hills. Midtown mixes urban and suburban elements: The area has high-rise apartment buildings, retail and offices, but it also has some quieter areas, too. Major retailers like Wegmans, Trader Joe’s and Costco are within the neighborhood, and so is the Duke Raleigh Hospital. Interstate 440, Raleigh’s Beltline, goes through Midtown, making travel around the city and to Research Triangle Park quick.
North Hills is just down the street from Midtown Raleigh.

Cost of living in Midtown
Midtown's median sale price for properties is just under $800,000. That’s comparable to some neighboring communities like Hi-mount, but significantly higher than Raleigh’s overall median sale price in the mid-$400,000s. Housing prices here vary, though. Smaller, older homes can sell in the mid-$300,000s, while spacious, modern builds can fetch over $1 million.
Erica Sizemore, broker/owner at Keller Williams Raleigh, notes that Midtown has become increasingly popular as Raleigh’s real estate prices have climbed. “At some point, truly insular locations get too expensive. You might go to Hayes Barton, where you can’t even, frankly, buy a house for under $1 million. That starts to become unattainable. Five minutes up the road, you can still be by North Hills, and their money can go a little further,” she says.
Diverse housing options for buyers and renters
You’ll find more apartments in Midtown than single-family homes, but there are a few subdivisions tucked away behind the hospital and highway. The Pinecrest neighborhood has ranch-style homes from the mid-20th century. More spacious, new houses can also be found in Midtown, including two-story contemporary and Craftsman-inspired homes and townhouses built between the 2000s and today. Infill is also common here. “They are trying their best to divide lots where they can. They have gotten smaller, and prices have gone up,” Sizemore says.
North Hills and Midtown have a mix of offices and apartment complexes.
Some Midtown Raleigh homes feature large yards framed by trees.

Well-rated Wake County Public Schools serve the area
Students living in the area are zoned for Wake County Public Schools. They may attend Joyner Magnet Elementary School, which earns a top rating from Niche and is sought after for its Center for Spanish Language, which helps students develop literacy in both English and Spanish. Older students may continue to Oberlin Magnet Middle School and Broughton Magnet High School. Private options nearby include St. David's School and St. Timothy's School.
Oberlin Magnet Middle School is in Raleigh, NC.
Broughton Magnet High School in the Village District has an award winning marching band.

Commuting downtown and around the region
Midtown is a quick drive from major regional employers. Duke Raleigh Hospital is in the neighborhood, just off Wake Forest Road, and UNC REX Hospital is less than 7 miles away. Wake Forest Road also continues south into downtown Raleigh, less than 4 miles away. Interstate 440, also known as Raleigh’s Beltline, goes through the neighborhood, looping drivers around the city and connecting beyond to employment hubs like Research Triangle Park. Although this area is largely car-dependent, GoRaleigh buses serve stops throughout the neighborhood.

Shopping and recreation at North Hills and Crabtree Creek Trail
Several grocery stores and popular restaurant chains like Chick-fil-A and Cava are among the many options for shopping and dining in Midtown. Sizemore says Midtown’s conveniences make it a popular pick. “You’d be surprised by how many conversations I have with people who like a Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and Costco to anchor where they want to live,” she says. Other amenities around Midtown include:
North Hills, a trendy and walkable mixed-use area with events, shopping and dining
Crabtree Creek Trail, a 16-mile walking and bike path
The Ritz, a music venue that holds around 1,400 people

Comparing Midtown and North Raleigh
Midtown mixes urban and suburban elements. Overall, Midtown is a bit busier than other neighborhoods in North Raleigh, as it’s close to downtown, mixed-use hot spots like North Hills and shopping along Wake Forest Road. For example, neighborhoods like North Ridge, farther north, offer a strictly suburban feel with cul-de-sacs and tree-lined streets. Midtown has more apartment complexes, offices and retail options. Still, Midtown does have quieter, residential pockets, and price ranges vary greatly throughout the region.

Continued development and investment in Midtown Raleigh
As Raleigh has grown, Midtown has also seen new development. Apartment complexes and infill builds continue along Interstate 440 and throughout the area. “It has gotten louder. It used to be these quiet little suburbs,” Sizemore says. The city of Raleigh also has plans to build the Midtown Multimodal Bridge, a walking and biking path crossing over Interstate 440 in the neighborhood. This is part of the city’s Walkable Midtown Plan that was approved in 2020.
