Raleigh real estate is located in North Carolina. It is the capital and the second most populous city in North Carolina, behind Charlotte. Known as "The City of Oaks" for its many oak trees, Raleigh, as of the 2000 census, had a population of 276,093. As of 2004, the Census Bureau estimates that Raleigh's population has increased to 326,653, making it one of the fastest growing cities in the nation.
Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill make up the three cities of The Triangle, so named in 1959 with the creation of the Research Triangle Park, a research park between Durham and Raleigh. The Triangle's total population as of 2003 was over 1.2 million. In comparison to its immediate neighbors, Raleigh suffers for not being as urban as Durham or as gentrified as Chapel Hill.*
