The houses
Oakwood is the only intact 19th-century neighborhood left in Raleigh: Victorian, Queen Anne and Second Empire houses from the 1870s on, with craftsman bungalows filling the gaps from the 1910s and 1920s.
Expect heart pine floors, ten-foot ceilings, tall windows and plaster walls. Expect crawl spaces too, and in some houses original wiring or galvanized pipe. We order a crawl space and electrical look in every Oakwood inspection.
Any house built before 1978 comes with a federal lead paint disclosure. In Oakwood that is every house but a handful.
The rules that come with it
Oakwood is a Raleigh Historic District. Most exterior changes you can see from the street, like windows, porches, fences, additions and demolition, need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Raleigh Historic Development Commission before work starts.
Minor work is often approved by staff in a few weeks. Larger changes go to the commission's monthly review. If you're buying, ask for the file of past certificates; if you're selling, we pull it before we list so a buyer's attorney doesn't find a surprise.

Schools, safety and who lives here
We describe houses and streets, not the people on them, and we don't rank schools or neighborhoods. For school assignments, use the Wake County Public School System's address lookup. For crime data, the Raleigh Police Department publishes its own map. We're glad to help you find either.
