From its nationally acclaimed North Carolina Symphony to its $40 million Exploris Museum, the state capital of North Carolina has undergone a dynamic cultural renaissance.

In addition to being ranked among the top two “Best Places for Businesses and Careers” by Forbes Magazine, Raleigh was chosen as the fourth “Best Place to Live” by Money Magazine.

With some of the best colleges and universities in the nation, including North Carolina State University, it comes as no surprise that Raleigh is home to some of the best hospitals and competitive sports teams in the country.

Its booming entertainment options boast top-notch restaurants, comedy clubs, classic theatre and local artists and musicians. Well-priced housing and a lifestyle that balances activity and tranquility have attracted some 340,000 people to the Triangle’s “City of Oaks.”
