Furnished Rentals in North Hills (Raleigh Midtown)

North Hills

The "City Within a City"

North Hills (often called Midtown) is Raleigh’s premier live-work-play district. For many of our guests, it is the preferred alternative to Downtown Raleigh because it offers the same walkability and high-end dining but with easier parking, safer streets, and a more residential feel.

Carolina Furnished Rentals (CFR) offers single-family homes and townhomes in the quiet neighborhoods immediately surrounding the North Hills commercial district. You get the best of both worlds: a peaceful backyard and a 5-minute walk to Harris Teeter, Target, or The Capital Grille.

Our inventory is concentrated in Raleigh’s most practical residential zones

Why Choose North Hills?

Is North Hills a Good Location for Corporate Travelers?

Yes, it is the top choice for executives.

  • Convenience: You are located directly off I-440 (The Beltline), giving you a 15-minute commute to unparalleled access to Downtown Raleigh, RDU Airport, and Research Triangle Park (RTP).
  • Lifestyle: You don’t need a car for dinner. North Hills features over 100 stores and restaurants, a movie theater, and upscale gyms, all within walking distance of many of our properties.
  • Connectivity: Our homes in this area are equipped with Gigabit Fiber Internet, catering specifically to tech professionals working from home.

Is North Hills Safe for Families?

Yes. The neighborhoods surrounding North Hills (such as Lakemont, Quail Hollow, and North Hills Estates) are established, tree-lined communities known for safety and strong property values.

  • Parks: You are minutes from Shelley Lake Park and the Greenway System, providing miles of walking and biking trails—ideal for families with kids and dogs.
  • Schools: This area feeds into some of Wake County’s most desirable schools, making it a perfect “test drive” location for families relocating to Raleigh.

Housing Options: The "Midtown" Difference

1. Do you have houses or just apartments in North Hills?

We specialize in Houses.

While North Hills has many luxury apartment towers, they often suffer from noise, long elevator waits, and strict parking limits.

The CFR Advantage: We offer private 3-4 bedroom homes with fenced yards and private driveways just blocks away from the high-rise district. You get the space of the suburbs with the amenities of the city.

2. Can I rent in North Hills for less than a month?

Yes. We offer Flex-Week leases (7+ days) in the North Hills area.

This is unique in the market. Most apartment complexes in Midtown require a minimum 6-12 month lease, and the local hotels (like the Renaissance or AC Hotel) charge premium nightly rates.

CFR provides a cost-effective, home-like bridge for short-term stays.
