Hillsborough — 8.9/10 Rating (based on 11 neighborhood reviews)

This neighborhood is wonderful. There is a small strip with restaurants, a hair salon, yoga studio, and other shops connected to the apartment complex. Cameron Village is just around the corner and an easy drive or walk! There is easy access to all major roads in Raleigh. Downtown and Crabtree are each within 10 mins drive, and North Hills is only 15 mins away! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and the neighborhood feels very safe at all times. There is also easy access to bussing off Oberlin Road.

A block off Glenwood South is great. Smoky Hollow nextdoor is about to open with more shopping and dining. Only a 12 minute walk up to Campbell, or 15 minutes to get to Fayetville Street and the rest of downtown.

I feel pretty safe in this neighbor. I go on a lot of walks and runs in the area. However, I do try to take my dog out before it gets too dark/too late

St Mary's Square

Have loved living here. Its so walkable for restaurants, coffee, and grocery stores, so there's basically everything you need. Only downside is nightlife (for post pandemic) is not really walkable, however being so busy this isn't too big of a deal and when needed, ubers are very cheap and short to Glenwood or downtown.

Harris Teeter is directly beside the apartment and the district has many great restaurants. There are also great stores for clothing or other items such as books (Barnes and Nobles).
