Overall safety score

“Go. Historic Oakwood is one of Raleigh's safest, most scenic residential neighborhoods, making it ideal for walking tours, architecture spotting, and daytime exploration. While the neighborhood itself is very safe, standard urban awareness is recommended along its western and southern borders near major downtown thoroughfares at night.”

Historic / Tree-LinedPeaceful ResidentialArchitectural GemWalkable to Downtown

It provides a peaceful residential atmosphere within a short stroll of downtown Raleigh's vibrant dining and cultural hubs.

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.
