Adjacent to Boylan Heights, this community's tall, narrow homes combine space and views with the convenience of newer construction. Often compared to San Francisco's "Painted Ladies," this charming neighborhood features homes with rooftop decks that offer stunning skyline and Dix park views.

Nearby historic Boylan Heights is consistently listed as one of the most attractive areas near downtown Raleigh. Great walking!
