Midtown

Midtown is often called North Raleigh, because it was before the outer look of the Raleigh beltline was built. Most of the homes were built between the 60’s and 1990 with a few newer infill neighborhoods.

Midtown focus area lies between the I-440 Beltline and the I-540 Outer Loop with Umstead Park on the West and Capital Boulevard on the East
