Riverside subdivision in Raleigh

JennaNAaron

Does anyone know anything about this subdivision?  We looked at a townhouse there that we really liked.  We aren't big fans of capital blvd, so I'm wondering if there is other shopping in the area.  I'm also wondering about crime.  I tried using the news and observer crime mapper but it doesn't appear to be working because it says no records found for any address I put in...even ones I know are sketchy.

From what I understand...the actual subdivision is okay.  But across the street, as in the other side of perry creek road is known for some issues.  also, perry creek is a NIGHTMARE to live near.  on top of the neverending construction traffic there is a TON of soccer traffic just about every single weekend, year round!  As far as shopping...triangle towne center area is the closest...there is a food lion and wendy's at the other end of perry creek and then further up capital is wake forest.

We are considering moving to this area too... I commute daily from Raleigh to VA so we are going to move closer to Wake Forest.  As far as I can tell the closer you get to Wake Forest the nicer/ less crime you see.

We've found a lot of nice rental options on realestate.com if you want to look around some more! Hope it helps!

We actually LOVE this area and trust me...the soccer traffic is nowhere near as bad as it used to be on Perry Creek since they widened the road to 4+ lanes.  It is close to 540, the mall, downtown Raleigh and also Wake Forest so you get the best of both worlds.  I do agree with the comment about the homes across the street from the development though.  They just seem a little rough around the edges to put it nicely, but we have never had any problems in our area whatsoever.
