Beginning along Hillsborough Street and extending north to the Carolina Country Club, Village District is a large Raleigh neighborhood near downtown and North Carolina State University. Village District features restaurants and bakeries such as Rise Biscuits and Donuts, Café Carolina and Bakery, Benelux Coffee, and Tupelo Honey. The area also features several shops, boutiques, and a Harris Teeter grocery store.
Village District dates back to 1947 as North Carolina's first mixed-use community. In addition to the shopping center, it contained office buildings, single-family homes, apartment buildings, and condominiums. The oldest section of Village District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With its wildly popular shopping area, easy access to NC State and Downtown, and tree-lined residential streets, Village District is still the place to be.
