I love the diversity you see in Raleigh! There's so many amazing restaurants and shopping areas that offer me so many fun experiences. I can always find something to do in Raleigh, which I appreciate on the weekends, and I think it's extremely accessible for people of all ages. I feel safe and comfortable in Raleigh as a gay woman too. The one thing that I would love changed is that cost of living is getting extremely expensive. Apartments are going up in their cost and it's becoming a little less accessible for people of certain income lives. As a student, I do worry about my longevity in my home. I know that there are single mothers or low-income families that also struggle with this worry.
Raliegh is a Very good city! The only flaw is things to do, to do anything else than museums and eateries you have to go to Charlotte. Nightlife is sorta flaw too, with nightlife here being very limited. One good thing about Raliegh is the Breweries and food, It is amazing in Raliegh! The beer tastes like going to heaven, seriously. Another good thing is things to do (for kids), and lots of museums to keep the kids distracted while drinking wine or beer. Raliegh has many beautiful sights and parks to go to when visiting. Great city, 8/10.
I love living here! If you get an apartment/home at a convenient location, you can have a gym, grocery store, a wide selection of restaurants, and anything you need within a 5-10 minute drive. I've lived in Knightdale all my life, but my new apartment in Raleigh is amazing. The one thing I dislike that may just be applicable to every city, but there are always plentiful potholes and it is frustrating to navigate around.
