Ask any local Raleigh resident or Raleigh Real Estate Owner what is on their top list of outdoor activities and your bound to hear about the Capital Area Greenway. This is a true gem and added bonus to buying a home in the Greater Raleigh Area! The Capital Area Greenway (CAG, or Greenway for short, is a system of linear parks located along rivers, creeks and streams that provide the opportunity for recreation and connecting people to Raleigh’s parks and other community features. After glancing at the Greenway map, you will be amazed that there are 117 miles of paved and unpaved trails. There are also 270 miles of protected stream corridors that connect to Walnut Creek and Crabtree Creek.
On any given day, you will find local Raleigh residents (as well as Cary, Wake Forest and Morrisville residents) walking, running or biking the Greenway. Most greenways include a 10 foot wide paved area so you can bike around a family of geese or run around the walkers.

Not only do people use the greenway system for leisure and activities, but also for commuting to and from work and other points of interest. The Little Rock Trail takes you downtown and through Chavis Park where you will have access to downtown Raleigh’s finest restaurants like Raleigh Times Bar and Bu-Ku.
