Raleigh anchors the Research Triangle in Wake County, stretching from the Beltline through North Hills and into suburbs like Cary, Apex, and Wake Forest. The city's economy centers on state government operations, the Research Triangle Park's tech and pharmaceutical companies, and North Carolina State University's 36,000-student campus. Major corridors like Capital Boulevard, Glenwood Avenue, and Six Forks Road connect downtown's government district with sprawling suburban development, while neighborhoods from Oakwood to Lake Johnson serve a mix of state employees, university faculty, and corporate professionals.
