Raleigh Durham ranks #2 on US News Best Places to Live list

For any folks who have been thinking about moving, please take a look at Raleigh Durham. We moved to Chapel Hill in 2000--where I spent 17 years--and I lived in downtown Raleigh for almost three years. In January I gave up my downtown high rise apartment living for a new house in Durham. I'm done moving!
But there is something for anyone at all stages of life in the Triangle area. If you've been thinking about a move, come help turn North Carolina blue!

buying a house instead. It’s not completely off the table though.

We have waited to go there but are worried about t.he police/security situation. Is it safe in downtown?

Came up from the coast for college and never really left. A few months here and there -- to Europe a couple of times for a summer, once for COVID. It really is wonderful. I can't wait for life to return to normal.
