So what makes Raleigh such a great place to raise a family? I feel like this question is really easy for me is that it's such a growing area. I mean they're adding so much stuff. My neighborhood looks completely different from when I first moved in 10 years ago. I mean they're expanding so much and putting so much money in different communities and places into the city that makes it such a great place to raise a family. It's a very safe area. It's a very tight-knit community and something that also makes it a great spot is like I said earlier is the amount of attention that sports are getting in that area. I mean it's became a real well-known place in the past couple years where you can find great athletes in all sports and that's why I feel like it's a great spot to raise my family.
