Chapel Hill Durham Cary Raleigh Wake Forest Clayton Surrounding Areas

Welcome to the Triangle, an area rich in opportunity, life style quality and amenities, and scenic beauty. The area has been characterized as a “community of communities,” with four medium-sized cities, several smaller towns, and many rural areas. Located in the heart of North Carolina, with easy access to both the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, the region has been lauded as among the top places in the country to live and work

The Greater Triangle has been ranked:

History
As a discrete area, the Triangle traces its beginnings to the development of Research Triangle Park in the 1950s. Launched to attract high tech industries, keep intellectual talent in the state, attract talent from elsewhere, and provide an economic stimulus, the Park has exceeded all expectations. Called “Silicon Valley East,” the Park is now home to about 140 companies (start-ups, high tech, international research corporations), employing over 50,000. The Greater Triangle area has some 36,000 private and public enterprises employing over 630,000.

Along with this growth in employment opportunity, neighborhoods in the six-county Greater Triangle area have blossomed, offering diversity in surroundings and life style. From urban to rural, condos and lofts to single family homes and golf course communities, the Triangle has the type of home and neighborhood to suit your unique tastes and needs.

Economics and Employment
Even with the slowdown in the economy, the Triangle continues to be a robust and growing area.
  • With a 2000 population of almost 1.2 million people, the Greater Triangle area has experienced explosive growth over the past decade, some 39%. While growth is projected to slow, a healthy 16% population increase is projected by 2010.
  • Median household income in 2001 was $66,100.
  • The industrial base is diverse, with a concentration of enterprises in information technology, electronics and computing, telecommunications, biotech, health care, education, manufacturing, retailing and traditional trades, and state and local government.
