Neighborhoods Inside the Beltline
Did you know living in Raleigh means learning new vocabulary? If you ever hear Raleigh residents use the term "Inside the Beltline," they're simply referring to the area south of Interstate 440. The area ITB encompasses the entirety of downtown Raleigh, in addition to several of Raleigh's most prominent neighborhoods—Mordecai, Country Club Hills, and Moore Square being a few of the most popular. You can find historic homes dripping with character in Mordecai and new construction custom-designed homes in Country Club Hills.Career advancements

Whether you want to have the ultimate fun-filled day at Adventure Landing or take the adventure outdoors at Go Ape Treetop Adventure & Treetop Junior, you can be sure you'll never be bored here.
Local events
The big city of Raleigh is made small through its local events, in which its residents come together to celebrate everything from arts and crafts to craft beer. A staple summertime event, the Market at the North Carolina Museum of Art hosts a new selection of Raleigh area artists on the first Saturday of every month. If there's one event that comes to mind when you think of Raleigh, it's the North Carolina State Fair. Raleigh residents practically live at the state fair when it comes to town each October—seriously, we know people who go back day after day just to indulge in the fair's delectable food choices.
