A little more about the charming Mordecai neighborhood:
1. Historic Character + Beautiful Homes
• Historic Mordecai House is the oldest home in Raleigh still on its original foundation and anchors the neighborhood’s identity. It’s part of a public park and museum that draws visitors from around the region.
• The surrounding streets are lined with craftsman bungalows, early 20th-century cottages, and colonial revival homes, often lovingly restored.
• Homes in Mordecai feature mature trees, deep porches, walkable streets, and that feeling of "they don't build them like this anymore."
2. Unbeatable Location
• Less than 1 mile from downtown Raleigh. Residents can walk, bike, or scooter to:
◦ Seaboard Station
◦ Person Street corridor
◦ Moore Square and Fayetteville Street
◦ Museums, festivals, concerts, and parades
• Easy access to I-440 and Capital Blvd makes commuting to RTP, North Hills, or the airport straightforward.
3. Walkability + Local Flavor
Mordecai is not a cookie-cutter subdivision—it’s a vibrant, walkable neighborhood with its own personality. Locals enjoy:
• Person Street Bar – great cocktails and neighborhood vibe

• The area’s tight-knit community regularly organizes yard sales, porch concerts, holiday events, and block parties.
5. Excellent School Access + Civic Engagement
• Zoned for some of Raleigh’s better-regarded schools (depending on assignment year), including:
◦ Conn Magnet Elementary
◦ Enloe High School (magnet)
• Strong neighborhood association (Mordecai CAC before city structure changed) that advocates for smart development and preservation
6. Great for a Range of Lifestyles

• A young professional who wants to live near downtown without the noise,
• A retiree looking for a walkable, friendly place full of character,
• Or a growing family who values community feel and access to schools, green space, and culture...
Mordecai offers something rare in Raleigh: historic charm with modern convenience.
7. Strong Real Estate Investment
• Low inventory keeps home values strong
• Desirability continues to increase as Raleigh grows
