Welcome to The Triangle

 |
| If you are looking for a region that offers something for everyone, you will find it in the Triangle. From the historical influences of its Southern plantation homes to the modern advances of Research Triangle Park, this area has moved into the future without forgetting its past. The neighborhoods of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill are the essence of this North Carolina region. While new construction is following the predetermined paths established by interstates and inner and outer beltways, older homes closer to downtown are being renovated to preserve the architectural heritage of these cities. Outlying towns are quickly becoming the neighborhoods of choice for many newcomers. As new communities are built, retail and commercial developments are soon to follow. The outlying municipalities of Garner, Clayton, Apex, Holly Springs and Morrisville are experiencing tremendous growth and are attracting newcomers’ attention with affordable housing options. Best known for outstanding universities and colleges, the Triangle is home to N.C. State in Raleigh, UNC in Chapel Hill and Duke University in Durham. Turn to page 12 for more information on other fine colleges in the area. While there is so much to see and do in the Triangle, residents love the fact that the coast is less than two hours away and a weekend trip to the mountains requires just a three-hour drive. Locally, there are several lakes that provide weekend retreats from the warm summer months. William B. Umstead and Eno River State Parks both provide a great outdoor escape for the entire family. Welcome home to the Triangle. Turn to the centerfold map to get your bearings, and then dive in to the pages of this magazine to get acquainted with your new hometown. We’re glad you’re here! |
