Straight answers

Two-storey Victorians, Queen Annes and four-squares, 1,400–3,400 sq ft. Exterior changes are reviewed by the Raleigh Historic Development Commission.

0 of the 3 homes we have listed here carry a monthly fee. What it covers varies — in townhome and condominium communities it often includes exterior maintenance, roof and water, which changes the comparison against a detached house more than most buyers expect. Always read the schedule and the reserve study.

Under a mile to downtown Raleigh; about 20 minutes to RTP outside peak hours.
Which schools would we be assigned?
Conn Elementary, Ligon Middle and Enloe High (Wake County Public School System). Assignment is set per address and is reassigned periodically, so confirm the current base assignment with the district before you rely on it.
