You'd be better off and more thrifty in Garner or Clayton...

There are too many yankees or jerks like g5jamz in Raleigh...

(I'm in Clayton btw)

Oh Christ no....

If you want a night like go live in downtown Raleigh. Or go live up off Glenwood near 540.

Those outside towns will make you want to kill yourself

I would honestly start looking at Garner... It is basically South Raleigh, and if you get somewhere near White Oak, you are right at 40...

North Raleigh is probably going to be out of your price range unless it is a bad neighborhood, and the traffic there is hell (Capital Blvd., 540, etc.)...

Downtown would be out of the question for that price range if you are looking to stay in a decent neighborhood...

Boo to Garner.

Go with the Cary area. I don't know where you live now- if it is Charlotte, be prepared for a major disappointment with the downtown in Raleigh.

As far as places to avoid- you know them when you see them. One joke I was told a few months ago that I think rings particularly true:

What is the bad part of Raleigh?

Durham.

Avoid Durham like the plague. Even if you live in the "nicer" parts of Durham, the trash from the rest of Durham will still find its way into your life.

I live in Garner...but it's an easy commute to downtown. Unfortunately I work in RTP and in the Piedmont area...

Avoid Shaw University area.

Avoid around Garner High, Gorman Road, and some parts in southeast Raleigh. There are some newer apartment complexes off of Tryon road (runs parallel to I-40 on the southern I440 segment). Being in downtown, you'll be competing with NC State students trying to get good deals in that price range. My answer...avoid.

Over off of Blue Ridge/Rex Hospital area...close to Olde Raleigh, there are some apartment complexes that are in walking distance to shopping...quick commute downtown...near the RBC center/fairgrounds for events and just outside the immediate NC State area. Typically a lot of yuppies...but still very safe to feel like you can walk around. I have absolutely NO clue on costs.

North Raleigh is pricier. As someone mentioned...avoid Capital Blvd/Mini-city area too.

There are some awesome bar districts in downtown Raleigh...I just don't think your price range will get you anything much, but it's worth looking at. Areas around Cameron Village might work...or the creamery district (bars/restaurants). Avoid east of Wilmington St.

Cary is pricey....and too many damned yankees. Downtown Raleigh is quite nice nowadays...a lot has changed.

Garner is a rent district area...but you can find a couple of decent areas. I'm technically in Raleigh...by address, but really close to Garner. More towards Fuquay area.

As as far as Durham is concerned...NO.

He about got it right. Raleigh is a really nice city with a few bad spots. Durham is a really bad city with a few nice spots.

      Playoff bound. Again.

      By KillerKat · Posted

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      Did I miss something?  The people we have developing players now are not the ones we've had in the past so I don't know what the heck people are talking about when they say we are not good at developing players right now.  We only have one year to go on.  Canales likes young players or players who are on an upward trajectory, especially in FA this year.  Past QB's and what he's done with Bryce are good examples. Tershawn Wharton - 26 Tre'von Moehrig - 25 Pat Jones II - 26 Bobby Brown III - 24 Michael Jackson - 28 Jaycee Horn - 25 Tommy Tremble - 24 We missed on Milton Williams but he's 26. Everyone else we picked up are on 1 year deals.  The Panthers new front office and Canales absolutely scream developmental team. Pick 8 (stay) Tier 1 Elite - Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter and Mason Graham Tier 2 Elite - Jalon Walker, Mykel Williams, Will Johnson Trade down: There are quite a few really good players that fit us at Edge, DT, S and WR mid to late 1st and high 2nd.  Some combos that would be possible that I really like.  Imagine getting 2 of these guys by trading down. Stark, Pierce Jr, Golden, Scourton, Grant, Emmanwori, Ezeiruaku, Umanmielen, Deone Walker, Harmon and this is just off the top of my head.
