What can renters get for $1,110 a month in Raleigh? Less than 400 square feet.

This week’s Price Point looks at rentals across the Triangle. For around $1,110 a month, we found choices in Northeast Raleigh, Durham and Cary. At this price point, options are limited in places like Chapel Hill and Pittsboro. Bigger metros like Durham and Raleigh offer the best value, but square footage is still tight.

Price Point


“Price Point” is a new N&O column aimed at offering a snapshot of the local real estate market.

It will also highlight how prices — and what you get for the money — can vary greatly across the region.
