BOO!
Welcome to Historic Oakwood, Raleigh’s only intact 19th-century neighborhood, where Victorian homes and Halloween spirit make for a truly haunting combination. Every October, residents go all out with spooky decorations, and with Oakwood Cemetery right next door, who knows what might come out after dark?
Oakwood’s real estate market is just as distinctive, with a median sale price of around $712,000 and median asking prices reaching approximately $924,000 in September 2026. Prices vary by a home’s size, condition, and location, but for buyers seeking historic character just minutes from downtown, Oakwood offers a charm that’s hard to replicate.
Bring your date or spouse for a stroll through its beautiful streets, then stop by the neighborhood’s Side Street Restaurant for a warm bowl of soup or an egg sandwich to die for. Pun intended!
