🏡Please Note: Urban Living Experience

Our home is located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, offering a true city-living experience with all the charm of a beautifully renovated 100-year-old house. If you're not used to staying downtown, please be aware that the neighborhood is vibrant and diverse—reflecting a mix of longtime residents and newer homeowners, as well as a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. This is typical of many downtown areas and part of what makes the area unique and full of character.

Being so close to the city center means you'll enjoy walkable access to restaurants, bars, and local attractions—but also expect some foot traffic and the sounds of an active urban environment.

We live nearby and have always felt very safe here. We truly love this neighborhood and hope you’ll appreciate the history, energy, and charm that come with staying in such a centrally located home.

Guest Access:
🔑 Guests have full, private access to the entire home throughout their stay. Enjoy the comfort, convenience, and privacy of having the whole space to yourselves.

The Neighborhood:
🏞️ Located in downtown Raleigh, this home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and easy access to the city’s best attractions. The neighborhood is friendly and walkable, with locals often out for a stroll or enjoying their porches. You’ll be just minutes from Moore Square, Red Hat Amphitheater, Transfer Co. Food Hall, and the many shops, restaurants, and museums that make downtown vibrant.

As in most city neighborhoods, you’ll find a mix of long-time residents and newcomers, from modest-income households to high-end homeowners. Many nearby homes have been beautifully renovated like ours, while others reflect the area’s history and character. Being close to the city center, you may notice more foot traffic from people heading to local hotspots.

🚫Please note: Our 100-year-old home is thoughtfully updated for comfort while preserving its charm. As nearby residents, we feel very safe here and hope you enjoy both the vibrant location and the welcoming community during your stay.

Getting Around:
🚗 Getting around is easy from this location. Downtown Raleigh is just a short 5-minute drive or a 15-minute walk away. Ride-shares like Uber and Lyft are readily available, and free on-site parking makes it simple if you're bringing a car. RDU Airport is about 20 minutes away by car. While public transit is accessible nearby, most guests find that driving or using ride-share services offers the most convenience for exploring the area.

Other Things to Note:
🚫 Note: Quiet hours must be observed (10 PM to 8 AM) as this is a residential neighborhood.
🚶‍♂️ Please Note: Guests must climb stairs to access parts of the home. Not suitable for those with mobility limitations.
📍 A few older homes remain on the street, adding to the area’s character. We live nearby, feel safe here, and hope you enjoy the changing neighborhood.
