University District & Mordecai
Raleigh Rentals consists of two prime locations: 300 Chamberlain Street, situated in the heart of the University District near NC State, and Moses Court, located near the historic and trendy Mordecai Village. These neighborhoods are the best choice for those who want to be steps away from Raleigh's urban core, offering a mix of student energy, historic charm, and modern boutique shopping.
