Living in North Hills
North Hills sits right where the Beltline meets Six Forks Road, which makes it one of the most convenient addresses in Raleigh. The commercial core has grocery stores, a movie theater, restaurants and a summer concert series, and the residential streets behind it are full of brick ranches and split-levels built between 1955 and 1975.
Families like the mix of older homes with big lots and newer townhomes near the Park District. Many ranch homes have been updated with open kitchens, but you can still find original houses that are ideal for buyers who want to renovate over time. Expect competition in spring for anything under $600,000.
