Scenic outdoor recreation
With over 200 parks and thousands of acres of maintained parkland, Raleigh has more than earned its nicknames of “City of Oaks” and “City in a Park”. The city provides residents with dozens of unique features, like art centers, pools, recreation centers, lakes, nature preserves, dog parks, historic homes, trails, and more. Ride the carousel or take a swim at Pullen Park. Rent a paddle boat at Lake Johnson. Hike over 22 miles of trails at Umstead State Park. Escape the daily grind at Historic Yates Mill County Park. Or just get out on the water at Jordan Lake.
An active community calendar
There’s always something happening in Raleigh, any time of year. Seasonal celebrations, like First Night Raleigh or the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, bring thousands of visitors to the streets of Raleigh. The North Carolina State Fair is a fall favorite for foodies, entertainment seekers, farmers, students, adults, kids, and everyone in between. The Raleigh Flea Market has welcomed hundreds of vendors since 1971. And live music happens just about every day of the year in large arenas, smaller concert halls, and even local bars and restaurants.
A thriving job market
As if the entertainment in Raleigh wasn’t enough, the job market is also booming; for many years, Raleigh has enjoyed unemployment rates below the national average. Many of its largest industries include trade and transportation, government, professional services, education, health, and hospitality. Some of its major employers include national and international companies like IBM and SAS Institute, as well as major healthcare centers and universities, like Duke University and Health System, Wake County Public Schools, WakeMed Health, North Carolina State University, and UNC Rex Healthcare.
