Sunset Hills is only a few minutes from downtown Raleigh.
Beltline neighborhood
Sunset Hills, about 4 miles from Downtown Raleigh, offers secluded streets and architecturally unique properties. “Sunset Hills is one of those little neighborhoods inside The Beltline,” says Mollie Owens, a Realtor with Hodge & Kittrell Sotheby’s International Realty, who has 25 years of experience selling in Raleigh. “There’s a lot of small neighborhoods within the Beltline – and they’re very sought after – but they don’t have defined signs marking them.” Sunset Hills residents enjoy a short commute to Raleigh’s attractions, top-rated schools and access to some of the city’s best shopping without feeling like they’re in the thick of it.
No two homes alike
Homes in Sunset Hills sit on wide, walkable streets. While only about 4 miles from Downtown Raleigh, the neighborhood is quiet, and the streets feel secluded from the metropolitan hubbub. No two houses look the same in Sunset Hills, and many properties have unique architectural features like stately columns, stone facades or sloping gabled roofs. There’s a blend between historic properties – primarily built in the 1950s – and new construction, with prices starting around the mid $600,000 range and reaching about $2 million. There are also a few townhouse options in the upper $400,000 range.
