Downtown Raleigh

Downtown Raleigh balances business hustle with cultural treasure hunting. The neoclassical State Capitol anchors a district where suits mingle with museum-goers exploring the Museum of Natural Sciences and History. Red Hat Amphitheater lights up evenings with concerts while historic Oakwood's Victorian mansions provide a charming contrast to modern glass towers. Getting around is a breeze with the free R-LINE bus circling downtown every 15 minutes. You'll find everything from upscale steakhouses to food trucks, with most attractions packed into a walkable 10-block radius. Hotels range from boutique properties in historic buildings to sleek business accommodations.

North Hills Raleigh North Carolina

North Hills

North Hills blends upscale shopping with business-district energy in Raleigh's swankiest pocket. You'll find yourself bouncing between luxury retail at North Hills Shopping Center and leafy strolls through Lassiter Mill Historic Park. After dark, the neighborhood lights up with rooftop dining spots, cocktail lounges, and movie nights at Regal North Hills. Community concerts and festivals pop up regularly between the gleaming office towers. Restaurants here lean fancy with steakhouses and international cuisine that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. The area's modern hotels cater to business travelers but work just as well for shoppers wanting to collapse after a retail marathon. While public transit is limited, rideshares are plentiful and parking is rarely an issue.

Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina at sunrise.

Five Points

Five Points combines historic charm with trendy local spots around a classic intersection where five streets meet. Tree-lined sidewalks connect coffee roasters, craft cocktail lounges, and vintage boutiques housed in early 1900s buildings. The Masonic Temple Building stands as a neighborhood landmark among craftsman bungalows and colonial revival homes that showcase Raleigh's architectural heritage. The neighborhood offers an eclectic dining scene with farm-to-table bistros and casual cafes at moderate prices. While lodging options are limited within Five Points itself, nearby downtown hotels and boutique inns provide comfortable alternatives. City buses along Glenwood Avenue make getting around easy, though the area is perfectly walkable.

After heavy rains in the area I hoped for more water coming over the wall but nope. Anyway I decided to try and be different, not shoot the same scene as everyone else. Here it is!!!

Crabtree Valley

Crabtree Valley revolves around its massive mall where over 200 stores spread across gleaming glass atriums and modern spaces. Shoppers flock here for everything from budget finds to luxury splurges, while nearby hotels cater perfectly to visitors. The area buzzes with activity during the day as people hop between department stores and casual restaurants. Hotels ranging from mid-range to upscale offer comfortable bases with pools and complimentary breakfasts. Getting around is a breeze with excellent highway access via I-440 and multiple bus routes serving the mall.
