Set up home in a quiet part of town, with Raleigh’s most beautiful green spaces right on your doorstep. Stroll down the street and enjoy the tranquility of the nature trail in Carolina Pines Park. Perfect your game at Lonnie Poole Golf Course, or explore the wetlands at Lake Raleigh. Hop in your car and take the seven-minute drive to Lake Johnson Park to spend the afternoon messing about on the water. End your day with a burger at Sammy’s Tap & Grill, watching the game on one of 57 screens.

From Village Green, it’s only a five-minute drive or a 25-minute walk to NCSU. When you’re in a hurry, the Direct Capital Area Transit service (CAT) will take you straight to campus. Stop off at nearby State Farmers' Market on your way home from class to stock up on fresh local produce, and pick up essentials from the grocery store, just half a mile away.

Back home at Village Green you’ll want to spend all your free time at the resort-style pool. Catch up with friends as you relax on the sundeck, then fire up the outside grills and eat dinner alfresco. Join a game of beach volleyball or basketball, work up a sweat in the 24-hour fitness center or top up your tan in the tanning salon. After dark, head to the 24-hour clubhouse to play Wii or Xbox.

When it’s time to study, connect to the Wi-Fi around the pool and clubhouse, or focus on your latest assignment in the study room and 24-hour computer lab. If you need some time to yourself, there’s lots of space to study in your bedroom. Freshen up in your ensuite, fix a snack in your shared kitchen, and load your laundry into the washer dryer. With work out of the way, you can take a well-earned break. Put your feet up on the leather sofa and watch your favorite shows on the 40-inch flat-screen TV.

You’ll always feel safe in this secure gated community, and you can call the 24-hour emergency maintenance line any time you need help or advice. It’s easy to manage your budget because bills like internet, cable TV, water and trash are included in your rent.
