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:

    •    Yellow Dog Bread Co. – artisan bakery and community staple

    •    Two Roosters Ice Cream, Oakwood Pizza Box, and Standard Beer + Food

    •    A strong bike and pedestrian culture with crosswalks, bike lanes, and minimal cut-through traffic

 4. Green Spaces + Community Life

    •    Mordecai Historic Park isn’t just a tourist site—it’s a gathering place for picnics, outdoor yoga, and events.

    •    Walkable to Oakwood Cemetery, a peaceful, tree-lined historic landmark with walking paths

    •    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

Whether you’re:

    •    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

    •    It’s one of the few places in the city where homes retain long-term value thanks to:

    ◦    Historic preservation protections

    ◦    Proximity to downtown amenities

    ◦    Limited room for overdevelopment
