In northeast Raleigh, 27616 blends suburban calm with city convenience. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent around $1,650 over the past few months, with most listings roughly $1,300-$2,200 by size and amenities. Expect a humid-subtropical climate with warm summers, mild winters, and a friendly, diverse mix of townhome and single-family streets.
