Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. North Southeast Raleigh is a historic, evolving residential and commercial district with great local eateries and cultural spots, but it experiences higher rates of violent and property crime than the Raleigh metro average. Visitors should stick to well-trafficked commercial corridors, secure their belongings, and avoid poorly lit residential side streets late at night.”

About the area

TransitionalHistoricCar-DependentDiverse

North Southeast Raleigh spans the transitional area just east of downtown, stretching along key thoroughfares like New Bern Avenue and Poole Road. It features a blend of historic African American neighborhoods, mid-century bungalows, and newer infill developments. The area offers cultural heritage, community parks, and diverse neighborhood dining spots while continuing to navigate urban revitalization.

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.
