medical corridors
Carolina Furnished Rentals (CFR) primarily serves the Research Triangle Park (RTP) region—a sprawling area comprising Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill—as well as the coastal hub of Wilmington.
Choosing the right location is just as important as choosing the right house. A “Travel Nurse” working at Duke Hospital needs a different location than a “Biotech Contractor” working at Amgen in Holly Springs.
Our co-founder, Amanda (Licensed NC Broker), advises clients to choose their location based on their daily commute and lifestyle needs.

Commuting to Research Triangle Park (RTP)
Research Triangle Park is a massive business district located centrally between Raleigh and Durham.

Traffic Note: Triangle travel times change substantially by departure time, road work, and weather. Check the exact route during the hours you expect to commute.
