Downtown
Working in Downtown Raleigh (Red Hat, Citrix, State Government) is exciting, but living there can be exhausting. The luxury apartments on Fayetteville Street often come with parking deck headaches, elevator waits, and weekend noise.
Carolina Furnished Rentals (CFR) offers the “Smart Executive” alternative: Single-family homes located 8–12 minutes from Downtown.
We serve consultants, lobbyists, and relocating executives who want to work in the city but retreat to a quiet home with a private driveway and a backyard.
Our inventory is concentrated in Raleigh’s most practical residential zones
Living in a high-rise often means a 15-minute ordeal just to get your car out of the parking deck.
In a CFR home, you pull right out. In properties like 2113 Seneca Dr or 438 Seastone St, you walk out your front door, get in your car, and are parking in Downtown Raleigh in roughly 10 minutes.
It is often faster than navigating a downtown apartment complex.
Downtown units average 700–900 sq ft.
Our nearby homes offer double the space. Homes such as 2316 Sierra Dr offer 1,300+ sq ft of living space.
Crucially, you get a private driveway (no monthly parking fees) and a fenced yard (impossible to find in a downtown condo), making life with a dog significantly easier.
Downtown Raleigh is vibrant, which means noise—late-night music, sirens, and construction.
Our homes are in established residential neighborhoods.
When you finish a high-stakes contract at the State Legislature, you come home to silence, not a street party. We prioritize “Quiet Enjoyment” for professionals who need to sleep.
