Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill
Map
of Wake County
In the past decade, the superlatives have poured in
about the Triangle Area: Money Magazine's Best Place
to Live in America, Fortune's Best City for Business
and one of Redbook's Top Ten Cities for Working Mothers.
Other accolades come from residents themselves: The
Triangle is known for its NCAA basketball championships,
world-class medical research facilities, NHL hockey
franchise, Triple-A baseball team with a sparkling downtown
stadium, award-winning schools, celebrated orchestra
and -- last but not least -- excellent weather. In all,
it's a great place to live.
A first look at the Triangle area reveals several appealing
qualities, like the caliber of available cultural and
sports activities, the reasonable cost of living and
the high level of educational opportunities and medical
facilities. Three renowned universities -- UNC-Chapel
Hill, Duke and NC State -- draw top-flight educators,
students, medical professionals and researchers. The
companies of Research Triangle Park, a world-renowned
research and high-tech corporate park, also bring brilliant
minds to the heart of North Carolina. This cosmopolitan
influx creates an expectation of excellence in the region's
quality of life, and with few exceptions, the region
delivers.
A second look reveals an even more endearing
charm, with diverse communities in every corner of the
region. From the weathered floors of restored brick
warehouses to the pristine appeal of suburban neighborhoods,
and from rambling country farmhouses to the eclectic
energy of bustling urban neighborhoods, Triangle communities
are microcosms of the best any community has to offer.
