What are good places right outside or Raleigh,NC with views of the skyline to live?|122581

Looking for a nice safe neighborhood outside of downtown Raleigh, which is safe, and has a nice view of the growing skyline, any help we be great.

In Raleigh, to get a good view of the skyline you_d basically need a neighborhood just adjacent to downtown. (Mostly due to hills and such.)
Boylan Heights, Brooklyn/Glenwood, Cameron Park, Caraleigh, Oakwood, Mordecai, and Pilot Mills would probably be where to start. But if there_s alot of trees in the way, then the view would be pretty blocked.

Raleigh_s skyline is growing. A developer has just started on building what will be Raleigh_s tallest building. It will be next to Crabtree Valley Mall and it will be 45 stories tall. The tallest in downtown might be the BB_T building at 32 stories maybe. I do not know of a neighborhood with what you are looking for, but maybe something north along Six Forks Road or Wake Forest road or Falls of the Neuse Road. If you have seen the pictures of downtown Raleigh that the City of Raleigh uses, that it looking at downtown from the town of Garner, southeast of Raleigh.

Unless something has changed in the last couple of years, Raleigh doesn_t have a skyline.
