on today's video we rank the most expensive neighborhoods in raleigh north carolina
and we're gonna break it all down for you up next
hi this is chris morton real estate broker with exp realty in raleigh north carolina and if you
are planning to spend around two million dollars for your next raleigh home or if you just really
want to know how the other half lives well today's video is exactly what you want to see
today we're going to rank the top nine most expensive neighborhoods in raleigh north carolina
and give you all the details on each of them we felt like this was a great video to do at this
time because the parade of homes is coming up and a number of these neighborhoods are
going to be in the parade of homes but first before we begin a couple of quick disclaimers
in order to make it an apples to apples comparison we took all of the sales in raleigh north carolina
above a million dollars in the past year added together all of the homes from all the
different neighborhoods and figured out which were the top nine neighborhoods and created a
median price for each of those neighborhoods to give us an idea of what you need to rank with
by starting with a million dollars that eliminated any of those 400 500 000 small
tear downs that were eventually going to become these two million dollar homes and in addition
we eliminated any neighborhoods that only had two or three homes that have recently been sold that
way it made the more median number more accurate and so with all that out of the way let's get on
with the countdown number nine on our list of most expensive neighborhoods in raleigh is sunset hills
median price one million three hundred and ninety thousand dollars it is a beautiful neighborhood
it's inside the beltline i-440 not far from the five points area and downtown raleigh
the oldest homes in this neighborhood date back to the 1930s and there have been homes built
in this area just about every decade since recently there's been a lot of tear downs
and new construction going on you'll see in this driving tour that there's a lot of
stately older homes and right next door some brand new homes new construction really a
really nice area big mix here you see modern homes right next door to a typical older home
also this home this neighborhood has the award-winning parade of homes winning home
from last year coming up here in a second built by annis mangrum it won the gold of
gold's the top house in the parade of homes last year and this is it coming up right now
this home built by annis mangrum last year beautiful home inside can't even
begin to tell you how great it was looking forward to the parade of homes happening
coming up in just a week or so here
so again as you see really nice homes
some rehabs are going on as well in this sunset hills neighborhood but older homes and then newer
homes right beside it number eight hayes barton neighborhood median price 1.4 million dollars
interesting fact about hayes barton well first off it's east of glenwood
and north of wade avenue in the downtown raleigh area interesting fact about half
of the homes in this neighborhood were built in the early 1920s so it's one of the
oldest neighborhoods around it's also the most prestigious neighborhood in the five points
section of raleigh and five points is sort of midway between north hills and true downtown
downtown raleigh lots of rehabs in this area also lots of tear downs where people have torn down
smaller homes and as you can see building newer things
very very similar to sunset hills in its makeup lots of very pretty
older homes mixed in with brand new homes great walkable neighborhood very similar
again to sunset hills this is a very california feel home there
really great blend of homes in these downtown neighborhoods lately
and again new construction
and again median price 1.4 million dollars
meaning there's a good number below that number and there's a good number above 1.4 million
next up we have bella vista bella vista is a median price of one million four hundred and
twenty thousand dollars it's off of creedmoor road just north of i-540 great great location
super easily accessible to everything ever all the homes in here were built between
2016 and 2020 with a little bit of construction still going on now as you can see by the video
but the majority were built in the last four years or so top builders are building in here
again great neighborhood diversity of styles everything from modern farmhouse to
prairie style contemporary cell like this house
all the way to stuff that looks like it has been built many many many years ago
and this is a very very popular neighborhood lots are large relatively large here in bella vista
and again median price one million four hundred and twenty thousand dollars
i love the diversity of styles in this neighborhood
which has really become a characteristic of north raleigh in general
which is north of millbrook road is basically considered north raleigh
this house was amazing that just passed by the door to get in is humongous next up we have
north hills at the number six slot median price one million four hundred and fifty thousand
and of course north hills is the area that's just a little bit north of i-440 the beltline
of six forks road majority of the homes in north hills were built in the 1960s and now we're seeing
a lot of tear downs come about where old homes are being torn down and they're building brand
new homes so you're seeing this small home juxtaposed next to a larger home like this
on and on and on the popularity of this area has been driven by the north hills complex
we did a walking tour of north hills a while back and we definitely recommend you go take a
look at that video after you watch this video you'll see what all the fuss is about and why
people are so hot on north hills again really getting that diversity of style because this the
builders that are building up in north raleigh are also building here in north hills as well
trip loyd builds a lot homestead builds a lot in north hills as well as up in north
raleigh so you're going to see their signs out in front of a lot of homes
under construction in this in this section of the world
really beautiful opportunity there was a homestead sign just there that
they are going to tear that little house down
there's also some really nice older homes in north hills so don't think everything's getting
torn down number five is williamsborough neighborhood median price one million six
hundred and seventy thousand dollars this neighborhood williamsborough kind of hugs
lassiter mill in that north hills area it's a really sleepy quiet little under the radar area
large lots large large homes really an amazing area homes there were built between the 1960s
and now still getting those tear downs happening amazing amazing area and definitely somewhere
i would recommend you check out if you're in this price range and you want to be in raleigh
definitely an area that i think you would find very interesting stately homes very very
chill vibe i guess for lack of a better way to put it and definitely a nice nice
drive we had going through filming this and again great mix of homes some that
are older and been well well taken care of and then some brand new stuff as well
next up we have north ridge which a median price of one million seven hundred and eighty thousand
dollars north ridge is a golf course community that is off of falls of noose rodents in the
heart of north raleigh this neighborhood has really seen a major transformation
where because of that golf course because of that location people have there's some guys out golfing
right there because of this location people are buying up builders especially are buying up
older homes and tearing down to build these very very large mansions on the golf course
again homestead builders right there quite a bit of homes are being built in this area
amazing beautiful homes being built you're even seeing people buying 700 and 750 thousand dollar
homes tearing them down and building an even larger home i never thought i'd see the day that
ace that we would get up to the 700 750 800 000 range as a teardown in raleigh but we have arrived
at that number crazy homes are really really nice in here and again you can't beat the location
tremendously close to north hills mall tremendously close to all the shopping
on falls and noose really close to jumping on 5 40 to get to the airport or to research triangle park
and this neighborhood the homes in this neighborhood sell very very quickly if the
builder builds anything as a spec hum meaning a buyer's not attached to it they sell very very
quickly next up we have country club hills median price one million eight hundred and fifty thousand
dollars the older homes in here excuse me this is off of glenwood avenue in downtown raleigh right
near country club excuse me right near carolina country club lots here are very very large
and the homes are very very stately starting all the way back in the 1930s homes were built here
and just about every decade since you have a good good variety of older homes somewhat
newer homes and brand new new construction homes all mixed together in this neighborhood
and again this is in downtown raleigh so you're going to see that mix of
tear downs modern things like this on a really nice mix of different styles and varieties
and of course you're gonna be next to a smaller home like this one definitely great location
as far as where to live in the in raleigh goes country club hills is definitely a
great location um number two on our list of most expensive neighborhoods in raleigh is avalaire
median price 2 million dollars homes were built from 2017 to the present it's located off of north
raleigh off durant road and falls of neuse roads beautiful beautiful neighborhood top top builders
brand new homes this is the original model sales center for the neighborhood built by rex bost
really amazing house with an amazing pool love this neighborhood they do they have
just a few few lots left in here that haven't been either reserved already or already built on like
these lots have been beautiful neighborhood can't say enough about it and this neighborhood is home
to the award-winning top top part of homes home built by loyd builders back a few years ago
for three and a half million dollars we're coming up to it here in just a second on the video
and there it is three and a half million dollars it is a stunning stunning house
inside four-car garage pool in the backyard an entertainer's house
which is not to take away from any of the other homes in the in the neighborhood they're all
really really amazing lots of variety of styles california modern like that
more of a traditional transitional house like this
and there's many many residents in the neighborhood lots including these nice little
four-legged residents the deer family have taken up residence they like it in avalaire just as much
as you would they were hanging out as we were filming and they didn't seem to care a bit that
we were there loyd builders by the way that built that parade home is building a new neighborhood
just across the street from avalaire that will most certainly be on future edition of this video
and number one most expensive neighborhoods southern hills estates median home price 2.6
million dollars it's north of 540 off of creedmoor sort of near bella vista but maybe a couple of
miles north of that gated community one plus acre home sites top top top builders amazing properties
homes were built 2019 to present still in their building so you want a brand brand new
home this is definitely where you would want to consider especially if you want a gated community

very nice very impressive they've had quite a few years of of parade of homes entries looking
forward to hopefully having some homes in this neighborhood to visit this year really really nice
