The RTP area is populated by more than one million people who are, on average, young, educated and affluent.

The overall culture reflects the interests of the highly educated and motivated population. Performing arts, history, education, nature and professional sports are all readily available. Examples include the North Carolina Symphony, Carolina Ballet, Duke University, University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, Durham Bulls Athletic Park and the Alltel Pavilion, all of which are nearby. The RTP region has so much to offer that it has been repeatedly acknowledged by national publications as one of the country’s most enjoyable places to live. Real estate options consist of single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses and undeveloped land.
