College Park blends deep history with everyday convenience in Raleigh, anchored by the storied campus of St. Augustine’s University and the legacy of the College Park/Idlewild historic core. Tree-lined blocks with classic cottages and porches sit moments from Downtown, the eateries along Person Street, and neighboring enclaves like Historic Oakwood and Mordecai, making quick errands and nights out delightfully simple.
Weekends are easy to fill: stroll the collegiate greens of St. Augustine’s University, catch community programs or the historic carousel at John Chavis Memorial Park, or hop on the Raleigh Greenway system via the Walnut Creek Trail for miles of biking and birding. Commuters appreciate frequent GoRaleigh service and the coming New Bern Avenue BRT, which will streamline trips between the neighborhood and the city center.
Families find strong academic options through the Wake County Public School System, with magnets and academies nearby and a well-regarded high school pathway to Enloe Magnet High. Cultural touchstones, from campus events to community festivals, keep the calendar lively while essentials—grocers, clinics, and local coffee spots—are close at hand in Wake County.
