Anchored by three major research universities outside of Durham, Research Triangle Park — often referred to as the Triangle — offers a central location between two of North Carolina’s biggest cities: Raleigh and Durham. These cities are also known as being popular college towns. Research Triangle Park is made up of research facilities without many residential neighborhoods. However, there are a great variety of apartments, houses, and townhomes available for rent outside of the Triangle, ranging from affordable to upscale. Students and faculty are drawn to the surrounding area of the Triangle, and residents appreciate the immediate access to major roadways like Interstate 40. Locals can easily get to and from major metro areas, meaning that dining, shopping, and entertainment options at your fingertips.
