Safety

Safe at Home

We all want to feel safe in our homes and within our communities, which is why an area’s safety is one of the most important things we consider when moving. Rest assured, communities in the Triangle are some of the safest in the nation.

Raleigh and its surrounding communities regularly top the lists of community safety rankings, including being named WalletHub’s 3rd safest state capital and 8th safest city in the U.S.. Nearby Cary ranks #4 on MoneyGeek’s safest cities in America.

Safety is a community effort here in the Triangle. As Downtown Raleigh continues to grow and evolve, Downtown Raleigh Ambassadors serve to ensure a memorable and welcoming experience for those in our center city. Downtown Durham also has dedicated team of ambassadors at the ready to provide directions, jumpstart car batteries, and more!
