MEET RALEIGH'S WEST END (OR SHOULD WE SAY BEST END?)

MEET RALEIGH'S WEST END (OR SHOULD WE SAY BEST END?) ○



creators, makers & laid-back urbanites.

Just across from Raleigh’s Union Station, adjacent to the downtown Warehouse District and historic Boylan Heights lies the West End. A bustling neighborhood home to creatives, makers and existing residential neighborhoods, the West End welcomed several new retail and residential openings in 2023 — with more planned for 2024. The West End district is surrounded by new breweries, bakeries and retail establishments and is located only a short bike ride or stroll to Raleigh’s Central Business District and the 306-acre Dorothea Dix Park.

An interesting mixture of history along with new opportunities, great views… a mix of neighborhood vibes and obviously urban vibes
— Bill King, Downtown Raleigh Alliance

From old-school NC barbeque to craft brewers and bakers to a diverse group of artists, Raleigh’s West End has something for everyone.
