Ramblewood, a community situated to the west of the bustling North Hills area, just inside The Beltline (ITB) in Raleigh, North Carolina, offers a unique blend of space and urban lifestyle.

This neighborhood is a harmonious blend of modern living and convenience, making it a sought-after location for those who appreciate city amenities within a tranquil setting.

Developed by notable builders such as the Resolute Building Company, Ramblewood's homes are known for their quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

The story of North Hills is one of remarkable transformation. Beginning as the North Hills Shopping Center in the 1960s,

it was the premier shopping destination for Raleigh residents, located at the crossroads of Six Forks and Lassiter Mill Roads.

Fast forward to the early 2000s, and the aging mall was ready for a major overhaul.

Kane Realty Corporation, led by visionaries John Kane and Henry Kaestner, embarked on a $200 million renovation project in 2005 to reinvent North Hills as a vibrant urban village.

The redevelopment saw parts of the old mall demolished to make way for a new pedestrian-friendly street lined with shops and restaurants, residential towers, office buildings, hotels, a luxury cinema, and public green spaces.

By 2007, the new North Hills emerged as a dynamic urban center, a place where people could live, work, and play.
