Five Points

Old tradition mingles with new vitality in this quaint, quirky district. Some of the most unique restaurants and shops in the city are found here – and the fact that Five Points is known for its perfectly restored bungalows encourages a cozy combination of working, living and playing. The area earned its name from the five residential neighborhoods that connect at the center of town; it's a residential crossroads, but the feeling of unity and sense of place is unprecedented here. This is where life is simple – in this district, locals linger over a slice of pizza at sidewalk cafés, trend-seekers shop at boutiques, diners with a sweet-tooth indulge in heavenly desserts and shoppers wonder about the history of the shop with the pig chandelier.

Where it is: Located north of the Glenwood neighborhood and to the northwest of central Raleigh.
