You'd be better off and more thrifty in Garner or Clayton...

There are too many yankees or jerks like g5jamz in Raleigh...

(I'm in Clayton btw)

Oh Christ no....

If you want a night like go live in downtown Raleigh. Or go live up off Glenwood near 540.

Those outside towns will make you want to kill yourself

I would honestly start looking at Garner... It is basically South Raleigh, and if you get somewhere near White Oak, you are right at 40...

North Raleigh is probably going to be out of your price range unless it is a bad neighborhood, and the traffic there is hell (Capital Blvd., 540, etc.)...

Downtown would be out of the question for that price range if you are looking to stay in a decent neighborhood...

Boo to Garner.

Go with the Cary area. I don't know where you live now- if it is Charlotte, be prepared for a major disappointment with the downtown in Raleigh.

As far as places to avoid- you know them when you see them. One joke I was told a few months ago that I think rings particularly true:

What is the bad part of Raleigh?

Durham.

Avoid Durham like the plague. Even if you live in the "nicer" parts of Durham, the trash from the rest of Durham will still find its way into your life.

I live in Garner...but it's an easy commute to downtown. Unfortunately I work in RTP and in the Piedmont area...

Avoid Shaw University area.

Avoid around Garner High, Gorman Road, and some parts in southeast Raleigh. There are some newer apartment complexes off of Tryon road (runs parallel to I-40 on the southern I440 segment). Being in downtown, you'll be competing with NC State students trying to get good deals in that price range. My answer...avoid.

Over off of Blue Ridge/Rex Hospital area...close to Olde Raleigh, there are some apartment complexes that are in walking distance to shopping...quick commute downtown...near the RBC center/fairgrounds for events and just outside the immediate NC State area. Typically a lot of yuppies...but still very safe to feel like you can walk around. I have absolutely NO clue on costs.

North Raleigh is pricier. As someone mentioned...avoid Capital Blvd/Mini-city area too.

There are some awesome bar districts in downtown Raleigh...I just don't think your price range will get you anything much, but it's worth looking at. Areas around Cameron Village might work...or the creamery district (bars/restaurants). Avoid east of Wilmington St.

Cary is pricey....and too many damned yankees. Downtown Raleigh is quite nice nowadays...a lot has changed.

Garner is a rent district area...but you can find a couple of decent areas. I'm technically in Raleigh...by address, but really close to Garner. More towards Fuquay area.

As as far as Durham is concerned...NO.

He about got it right. Raleigh is a really nice city with a few bad spots. Durham is a really bad city with a few nice spots.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
