Located at 3939 Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, NC, this expansive outdoor amenity area serves as a central gathering space defined by two generously sized swimming pools surrounded by a well-maintained concrete deck. The pools are complemented by an array of lounge chairs, teal-accented market umbrellas, and private cabanas that provide comfortable shade throughout the day. A standout feature of the space is the craftsman-style covered pavilion situated alongside one of the pools. Constructed with timber framing, brick accents, and a metal roof, the pavilion offers a shaded outdoor living area equipped with wicker seating, colorful accent cushions, and a wall-mounted flat-screen television centered above a full brick fireplace — ideal for year-round outdoor enjoyment. Mature trees surrounding the pavilion add natural shade and a lush, park-like atmosphere. The multi-story brick residential buildings framing the courtyard create an enclosed, community-oriented setting with private balconies overlooking the pool area. A dedicated pool house with teal-accented entry doors provides convenient access to restroom and support facilities. The cohesive teal and neutral color palette throughout the outdoor furnishings ties the entire space together into a polished, resort-inspired amenity environment.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
