Raleigh isn't boring, it's just not an attraction city. It's a cafe city. You go to a cafe or a park, or restaurant downtown and read a book or sketch in your sketchbook. Night life is full of Sip n' Strolls, food trucks, and casual socializing... Not much for wild parties
That’s boring and I’m starting to love it 😂. I’m from Nashville Tennessee and it’s a lot bigger and has so much going on and it can also be very chill. Raleigh is a lot smaller and not turned up like Nashville lol but I do miss my city.
@BryantBaudelaire ohhh the cringe lol! Raleigh is 500k ppl over 143mi², vs Nashville 700k at 504mi². Raleigh-Durham MSA is larger than Nashville MSA. Nashville definitely has the whole tourist Broadway stretch of downtown, but that eats up Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Memphis, Jacksonville, etc. Beyond Broadway, Raleigh is denser and a more cohesive bigger city.
I'm in Charlotte an living here for a year an coming from Baltimore Maryland a party city it tends to attract more trouble which is why I prefer somewhere more remote. I was in Raleigh during the pandemic an I enjoyed it
Humidity is certainly not a con for me. I'm from Louisiana. I practically breathe water, lol.
😂😂
I'm from Florida, I went to Arizona, and OMG!
I asked them how long it takes to get used to 5% humidity and they said a year or two.
you walk outside, it's like walking into a pizza oven.
I recently moved to Raleigh from Detroit last August and for the most part I love it! I’m in my late 40’s so boring is good for me lol
I do take a lot of road trips because we are so centrally located to so many places.
I haven’t seen a snake yet, thank goodness, and I do go on walks on the trails. Not looking forward to seeing any either.
I do enjoy going out to dine, there are some really pretty areas for dining.
For the most part everyone is pretty nice and they speak but I’ve noticed that most natives don’t speak… well the women that look like me, but the men are all friendly lol. It does make it hard to form friendships but I’m sure those will come. I think I’ll start looking for book clubs or something like that in order to form a girlfriend circle.
All in all, I love that I made the decision to move here.
Thank you for responding to this video. I am also in my 40's and this helps me! My husband and I are looking at relocating to North Carolina and Raleigh may be our choice based on employment opportunities.
@@shannonjones7595 it’s really a beautiful place & despite the rise in petty crime such as car break ins, it’s still as peaceful as ever. I haven’t experienced this personally but my heart goes out to those that have because I’m sure it’s a real inconvenience & feels like a violation.
I can’t speak to the job market really because I work remote and my home office is still in MI. I’ve applied for second jobs, retail, no traction on it at all but I’m not sure about corporate.
I wish you all the best with your relocation if you decide to do it.
Thank you so much for your comment. I'm planning on relocating to either Raleigh or Greenville, S.C. in the near future. This is helpful in making my decision. I do feel like I'm leaning more towards Raleigh.
I laughed when I read your comment. I am in the process of deciding where to move my family. We currently live in Austin, Texas. I have been traumatized by the snakes we encounter on street corners. Not only do we see them physically, but we also have bad homes and spiritual snake attacks while sleeping. I had decided to move to Raleigh because of all the nightmares, but when I found out there were a lot of them there too, I changed my mind. I had so many nightmares that I decided to move somewhere else. But I pray that God will guide me. We'll be leaving here soon. Texas is not for me.
@@honorinekoblan6319 I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve been here a little over a year now and haven’t seen any. I say go where your spirit leads you.
i enjoyed hearing your perspective on raleigh.
one of the best, honest reviews of the area I have heard so far.
Thanks Roney, I appreciate your honest review of Raleigh. Well informing your viewers separates your content from others. Keep it up!
Thank you. Glad you found the information helpful!
Great video with good information
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. If there’s anything specific you would like to know don’t hesitate to reach out.
This is so correct! Man start a meet up! I’m there.
Grazie mille, amico!
Visited the Raleigh area 1 month ago & loved it! Although cost of living is always a factor I saw plenty of entry level jobs starting at $15 an hour vs the $7.25 you mentioned. Luckily I'm in the healthcare field so I should be fine.
One of you Best! Enjoyed this video to the fullest. All realness and now even more motivated to relocate. Thanks RP, you did it again!
Absoutely! Glad the video helped you gained the motivation to get here. We waiting! 🙌
I too, moved to Raleigh from CT in 1982. Totally what you said!
Thank you SO much for this… considering Raleigh!!❤
Austin TX here, wait there are 4 seasons? Cedar Fever is strong here but not snow. We have humidity and it feels like we are in a air fryer outside. Also a pro I saw that you didn't mention is that Car registration is cheaper than Texas. Renewal is also a lot cheaper, $35 vs $78 here. The reason I mention that is because Colorado is like $300 with my car while it's only $78 in Texas.
thinking about moving here thanks for sharing
I live in East Hartford! 😊
Good video thanks!
Just wanna see how Raleigh is
Ohh nice, were you able to attend the UCONN parade?
Thanks, continue to stick around and I'll be sure to show you more about Raleigh.
Alaska to Raleigh august 2024!
Woah, that’s huge! Hope you enjoy Raleigh when you arrive!
I visited 1 time in September and it just stays on my mind. I have been researching and the market is rather expensive, so I'll just be back to visit lol
Well the best part is Raleigh isn't going anywhere and prices go up and down lol so whenever you decide to relocate I am here to help you if you still need it.
Hi Roney I'm originally from Brooklyn/Queens, NY been living here since 2017 and I love it. From your name I'm guessing you are like me-of Haitian descent. If so, Sak Pase, frere!
Either you’re very smart and know the Haitian culture or we’re related cause no one ever guesses that I’m Haitian haha. N’ap boule!
What about Garner,NC?
You might like this video if you want to hear more about Garner, czcams.com/video/8JOl0VlLk8M/video.html
I love this video! Any suggestions on where to hang my license? I’m looking for a brokerage in Raleigh, Nc. 😃
Thank you 😌 There are soo many brokerages here so it truly depends on what you are looking for and what is the best fit for your business. Reach out sometime and let’s chat offline.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but Raleigh is like the most sanest place in the US, I’m gonna be honest with you.
Dude I’m from Houston Texas that humidity is nothing to me
Similar 😂 I grew up in FL, humidity is nothing
I plan on moving to North Carolina from upstate NY I’m finishing up grad school . Just want to save a good amount before I move that way . I would love to connect with you on real estate
I completely understand. Just reach out to me on your preferred method of communication and we can go from there!
@@LivinginRaleigh is text fine ?
Yes that is okay.
I live in New England now and the cold is nothing compared to the racism up here.
Been living here since 2007. NEVER look back on the nightmare of South Florida!
I'm really struggling with the life of south florida as it has changed for the worse; people are rude, drivers are unsafe, cost of homes insane and NC has been calling out to my soul. Must visit 1st but hard to move and leave family at this late stage in life for me (a young 60); and leaving the access to the beach is tough but i need to feel sane and safe. what part of south Florida did you leave behind?
@@maggysmith4866 south Florida, Broward County.
I am also in SF and planning to move to NC, btw they have beautiful beaches as well.@@maggysmith4866
Just moved to SoFlo 💀 I don't like it that much. Has it pros but it's mostly undesirable. Planning on moving to West FL/more north.
Yeah your blessed south Florida wild!
"Boring" sounds like fun to me! 😂
For a late 30s bachelor coming from a large city would u recommend ? How is the food scene
Born and raised in Mississippi. The humidity is no biggie to me😅
That humidity caught me by surprise lol
Raleigh NC is my Home , I left NC and I moved to Arizona and I love love love Arizona , the snakes 🐍 are the people there in NC ,
Nice! The opportunity to come back will always be an option 🙃🤗
I am from OC California, Can some of you give me more pros and cons. If someone from California moved there I would love to know your experience.
I'm trying to move there 2025 as a nurse so let's hope COL is lower by then
Depending on the level of degree you take to become a nurse you may be able to use a physician loan to help purchase a home. Reach out to me via email for more details.
my daughter is attending NCC in the fall and im coming down for a new start from NY...where is a good place for occupation i make $21 now in ny
21$ will not even get you into an apartment, you need to be in Medical or High Tech with at least a BA if not a Masters, way over hyped here
Thanks for letting me know that it’s like that here in Rochester Ny imma still figure it out I’ve been looking into employment and I’m not scared to get dirty and I’m great with my hands I’m one of the few that likes to work hard strong work ethic
That guy is dumb you can make less than 21 and survive fine I'm in Buffalo NY and it's way harder in NY than NC. He just doesn't want us to move there
Goin from queens to Raleigh.
Nicee! See you here soon. If you need any help relocating here don't hesitate to reach out!
@Mulano The Travel Vlogga Would you mind sharing examples please? Thank you!
What are some safe areas, by zipcode? Is 27603 a safe area?
Check out this video to help answer your question, czcams.com/video/0jQqo-wrYYA/video.html
@@LivinginRaleigh Thank you for responding and being helpful! ❤️
I live in South Jersey and thinking of moving to Holly Springs, NC...the rental and homes in NJ aren't worth the money and I prefer a nice, safe, quiet area. I'll be 60 next week so peace and quiet is important to me.
I completely understand, reach out to me via phone or email so we can begin planning your relocation to Holly Springs!
All the realtors told everyone to come to Raleigh and work for Apple, what a joke, nothing built yet, and you will need lots of Education to get hired someday
Boring, yes. Southern hospitality, as long as you think what they think. There is a reason Trump is so popular in NC. Weather, hot and humid without much of a breeze in the summer. Winter? Damp and cold is normal. Traffic and driving? Raleigh has been well known since the 60s for it's lousy drivers. Never use your blinker, you will be cut off. I grew up in Raleigh and have lived in 6 different states. Raleigh is the last place I would ever move back to.
Hi. I'm from South Africa and I'm moving to Raleigh soon. I've tried emailing you, but perhaps because I'm not from the USA my email bounced. Is there any other way that I can contact you?
That’s strange the email is bouncing. You can try reaching out on Instagram @roneypolynice
@@LivinginRaleigh Thank you. Will do so.
DID HE SAY 7.25$ omg 😮😮😮😮😮
Yes. NC doesn’t pay anything yet they want to charge you to live like they’re California.
More importantly, how's the pizza?
This is a great question cause I love pizza. I’m used to New Haven or New York style pizzas and I haven’t come across a place yet that has WOWed me yet.
Been here since 97 from NJ. The pizza is awful, just outright garbage.
“Southern hospitality is gone”...you moved here from CT...come on now...and you have an entire persona of “living in raleigh”? Pffft
Cost of living there keeps going up, I have no idea why, but the salaries here are very very low. The locals are very nasty, especially to Northerners. Place is only good for raccoons.
So true! The salaries here are low especially if you relocate from the East Coast.
Are the salaries low across the board or for particular occupations?
Southern Hospitality HA! My family moved to Cary/Raleigh from upstate NY in 1972. We were in the early group of IBM transfers. We were hated! We were treated the same horrible way black people were treated. We never had racism within our family so seeing how fellow human beings were treated was shocking and disgusting. Southern hospitality never existed! That said, Raleigh area is now a wonderful place to live. It has evolved.
So you're saying you moved to the democrat sound in the 70s and incountered racism? Weird....
Yankees go home.
Raleigh ruined already. Move somewhere else. I’m thinking about leaving.
That’s how I feel about Charlotte.
Please don't move to Raleigh, we are full ! I mean, this is crazy ! Please stay 🙏 where you are from
It’s expensive because folks from the north move down here jacking up the prices then turn around and poke fun of our way of living; gtfo 🙄🤦🏾♂️
We came from California and we poke fun at your "way of living" too...
@@MCLBCthen leave???
@@jenniferk.945 I think we'll stay and help usher y'all into the 21st century! 🫡
Why do people poke fun at your way of living?
@@MCLBC if you gonna usher us into what california has become then pls don’t.
Snakes? Hell nooooooooo!
One thing I can say is a lot of people feel the same way about the snake 😂😂
@@LivinginRaleigh I'm wondering if I'll still be alive to see a snake in front of my house. While watching your video, I was planning to move to Raleigh from abroad, but then you mentioned snakes, and I am out.......Ophidiophobia!
I completely understand. There are snakes here but I personally don’t come across them often to worry enough.
@GregariousRat 3 times? Damn it! How can I survive seeing snake just once. Everything about Raleigh is appealing to me. But snakes around me? No way. Lol
@LivinginRaleigh, I might reconsider relocating to Raleigh as someone suggested to use snake repellents but I am still not sure about this idea... My fear for snakes has no limit....but I like Raleigh though
BOOOOOORING! Charlotte is a thousand times better. More things to do and a big city feel. Raleigh has no special feel like Charlotte has. Nothing stands out.
Charlotte sucks just as much if not more.
Too humid, and too many insects [ 3-4 " hissing,flying,biting light brown mega roaches]
Allought of insect- like humans also!🐜🐛🐝🐞🕷🦗🐌🦠🦂🦟🐞👎plus it's very Very boring, not just Raleigh, but whole e. coast!
Beaches suck! 🖐👳♂️🖐 he-luu!🥳
