Ranked #1 by Forbes.com as the best place for business and careers, the Raleigh metro area, which includes Research Triangle Park, is a booming area for young professionals. Anchored by three major research universities, the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area is rich in intellectual and cultural diversity. Countless upscale restaurants, boutique shopping centers, excellent museums, the RBC Center and the Durham Performing Arts Center provide residents with all the conveniences and sophistication of an urban setting coupled with a low cost of living. While the Triangle is extremely family-friendly and has superb school systems, it also boasts excellent opportunities for singles, making Forbes.com's list of top twenty cities for dating. Two to three hours from both the Blue Ridge Mountains and beautiful beaches, no wonder the area was ranked #4 on Money Magazine’s list of Best Places to Live!
