The Downtown Raleigh Alliance will, for the first time, host the 5th Annual Downtown Raleigh Home Tour on Saturday, May 16, 11 am-5 pm. The Home Tour is a self-guided tour of urban living…from condos and lofts to townhomes and single family residences.

GET CLOSER to one of North Carolina's most vibrant, eclectic downtowns. It's an area of inspiring contradictions—classic, turn-of-the century architecture alongside crisp, state-of-the-art modernism. Whether you're looking for a single-family home, historic neighborhood or a condominium overlooking the city and beyond, rest assured-you're about to get a closer look at a space you'll want to call home.Downtowns have a critical role to play in the overall well being of a city. And healthy downtowns need people – not just those who work here or come for dinner or a show – but those who live here. We need to build a 24-hour downtown.

Cost:  $14 at the door (cash or check only at the door)
