Boylan Heights is an early 20th-century planned suburb featuring preserved Craftsman bungalows, tree-lined sidewalks, and rolling topography just west of Downtown Raleigh. It borders the bustling Warehouse District, offering a quiet historic neighborhood vibe within walking distance of urban breweries, cafes, and galleries.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
