One of the best places in Raleigh to go for a stroll...from beautiful mature trees, to masterfully-built homes (so wish I could afford one!) and gorgeous yards, Historic Oakwood truly is a gem, frozen in time. I am so happy that this area has been restored to show it's true splendor! Can't wait to do the Christmas tour in December! More

If your around the area is worth passing by but not to make it out of your way to go. In total we saw about 10 houses so there are not that many like I was expecting. More

The houses in the neighborhood were just so beautiful. The owners have renovated them in such good taste. It is worth a drive around or a walk if the weather is nice. More

Great dog park, historic homes, donuts... what else do you need? More

Great neighborhood for a Sunday afternoon walk. The Convention and Visitor's Information Center supposedly offers a map for a walking tour but we couldn't obtain it and just wandered around instead. It was still fun. More

I like this neighborhood-reminds me of semilar historic neighbrohoods from say-Denver-Boston-etc-looks familar-and interesting-relief from the cookie cutter homes in NC More

This is my favorite part of Raleigh. I got a group of friends and we went Christmas caroling here, and the people who live in these wonderful Victorian houses were so receptive to us. I also host GHOST WALKS in this perfect little place, with us ending at the cemetery. It's a lovely place for a stroll or a dog... More

Lovely neighborhood of older homes. The best sections are the original ones dating from Victorian times, which are mostly centered on Bloodworth street. These are real homes, not museums, so as such, some will be in better condition and more impressive than others. Great place to stroll both at Halloween and during December, as the whole neighborhood goes 'all out'... More

If you are in the area the 2nd weekend in December, go to the Candlelight Tour that Oakwood puts on, you get to tour about 10 historic, renovated homes all decorated for Christmas. It's a great way to get into the holiday spirit! More
