What started out as a center of industry in Raleigh may not serve that original purpose any longer—but its iconic brick buildings are now home to a bustling epicenter of art, culture, and diversity just under a mile from City Center. “We’re spoiled rotten,” says Ann-Cabell Baum, broker with The Glenwood Agency and longtime resident of the area. “There are just so many cool things to see and places to go, and you can walk to all of them.” With its appealing blend of urban style and tight-knit community vibes, the Warehouse District is known as one of the most exciting up-and-coming neighborhoods in all of Raleigh.
The Warehouse District in downtown Raleigh, NC. is home to many older brick buildings.
The Dillon is the newest mixed use building in the Warehouse District.
The Warehouse District is full of options for shopping and dining. Residents can start their day by heading to Videri Chocolate Factory for a delicious chocolate bonbon and espresso. Locals do their shopping at the Weaver Street Market, a co-op focusing on fresh produce and locally sourced stock. The Oak City Steakhouse is a local favorite for dinner, as is OKE Sushi Bar. For dessert, residents can check out Humble Pie. “It’s the best pie in the world,” says Baum. “If you ask me, at least.” For local craft beers after work, Crank Arm Brewing Company is just one of the many options. A happening spot in terms of nightlife too, the Warehouse District has a long history as a popular spot for Raleigh’s LGBTQ+ community. Spots like Legends and Flex were safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community as early as the 1950s, and continue to thrive today.

Condos and townhouses rule in the Warehouse District
Housing in the Warehouse District is primarily made up of condominiums and townhouses. “We have a number of condo complexes like Park Devereux and Martin Place,” says Baum. “And they’re just as precious as can be—each with their own style.” As stated, complexes like Park Devereux reflect the iconic warehouse style of the district, while Martin Place features wood construction and gives off a more loft-like vibe. Prices range from $300,000 for a one-bedroom condo, up to $1.6 million for a 4-bedroom. Single-family homes are not available directly in the neighborhood but can be found in nearby Boylan Heights.

Dix Park has a ton of open space
Residents looking to enjoy the outdoors can head to Dix Park, which is over 307 acres. “It’s even bigger than Central Park,” says Baum. “And it is absolutely gorgeous.” Additionally, pocket parks can be found in the neighborhood too—like Nash Square Park just across from the Park Devereux condo complex. At CAM Raleigh, visitors can enjoy a rotating array of contemporary art exhibits free of charge.
Dix Park, located within the Warehouse District, is home to J. Cole's Dreamville Festival.

Artsplosure celebrates the arts every year
Events are common in Raleigh, with several neighborhoods offering annual celebrations. The Warehouse District is known for its Artsplosure festival, an annual celebration of local art with a market and live performances.
Warehouse District schools earn high marks
Students in the Warehouse District begin at Conn Elementary, before moving on to Centennial Campus Middle and finishing up at Broughton Magnet High School. According to Niche, these schools earned ratings of B-plus, B-plus, and A-minus, respectively. “We’re really spoiled with our schools, too,” says Baum. “People move to the area because of how highly ranked they are.” Students at Broughton High can take advantage of their highly ranked IB program.
Salem Middle School is close to sport fields and playgrounds in Weldon Ridge.

From across town to across the east coast
Location is one of the key selling points for the area, and residents of the Warehouse District are right next to Union Station—Raleigh’s newly renovated Amtrak station. As such, locals can travel up and down the east coast with ease, or catch a GoRaleigh bus to get around the city itself. “The neighborhood is so walkable,” says Baum. “Part of the charm is how easy it is to get around on your own two feet.”
Many people ride the train from Union Station to go see the Charlotte Panthers play.
