====Inside the Beltline====

One common division of Raleigh is to differentiate the central part of the city, which lies inside of the [[circumferential highway]] known as the Raleigh Beltline ([[Interstate 440 (North Carolina)|I-440]] and [[Interstate 40 (North Carolina)|I-40]]) from areas outside of the Beltline. The area inside of the beltline includes the entirety of the central business district known as Downtown Raleigh, as well as several more residential areas surrounding it.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oakcityproperties.com/the-pros-and-cons-to-living-inside-the-raleigh-beltline-itb/|title=The Pros & Cons of Living inside Raleigh's Beltline|website=Oak City Properties|date=March 5, 2019 |access-date=November 26, 2022}}</ref>

The downtown area is home to historic buildings such as the [[Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel]] built in the early 20th century, the restored [[City Market (Raleigh, North Carolina)|City Market]], the [[Fayetteville Street (Raleigh)|Fayetteville Street]] downtown business district (which includes the [[PNC Plaza (Raleigh)|PNC Plaza]] and [[Wells Fargo Capitol Center]] buildings), as well as the [[North Carolina Museum of History]], [[North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences]], [[North Carolina State Capitol]], [[William Peace University]], the [[City of Raleigh Museum]], [[Raleigh Convention Center]], [[Shaw University]], [[Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law|Campbell University School of Law]], and [[St. Augustine's College (North Carolina)|St. Augustine's College]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://downtownraleigh.org/districts/fayetteville-street |title=Fayetteville Street |website=downtownraleigh.org |access-date=November 3, 2021}}</ref> In the 2000s, an effort by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance was made to separate this area of the city into five smaller districts: [[Fayetteville Street]], [[Moore Square Historic District|Moore Square]], [[Glenwood South]], [[Warehouse District (Raleigh, North Carolina)|Warehouse]], and [[Capitol Area Historic District|Capital District]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.visitraleigh.com/plan-a-trip/cities-and-towns/raleigh/downtown-raleigh/moore-square/ |title=Moore Square |website=visitRaleigh.com |access-date=November 3, 2021}}</ref> The nearby North Blount Street Historic District includes many of the city's historic [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]], [[Georgian Revival]], [[Queen Anne architecture|Queen Anne]], and [[Second Empire architecture|Second Empire]] mansions, including [[Norris-Heartt House]], [[Andrews-Duncan House]], [[Heck-Andrews House]], [[Capehart House]], [[Bailey-Bunn House]], and the [[Garland Scott and Toler Moore Tucker House]] (the latter was later moved from its original location to Oakwood).

Some of the names have become commonplace among locals, such as the Warehouse District, Fayetteville Street, and [[Glenwood South]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.visitraleigh.com/things-to-do/museums/museum-guide/cam-raleigh/ |title=Glenwood South |website=visitraleigh.com |access-date=October 8, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://downtownraleigh.org/districts/capital-district |title=Capital District |website=downtownraleigh.org |access-date=November 3, 2021}}</ref> Other neighborhoods lying inside the Beltline include [[Cameron Park Historic District|Forest Park]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=William.Hartye@raleighnc.gov |title=Raleigh Neighborhood Registry |url=https://raleighnc.gov/community/raleigh-neighborhood-registry |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=raleighnc.gov |language=en}}</ref> [[Boylan Heights (Raleigh, North Carolina)|Boylan Heights]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.boylanheights.org/ |title=Historic Boylan Heights Neighborhood Main Page |publisher=Boylanheights.org |access-date=January 4, 2012}}</ref> Country Club Hills, Coley Forest, Five Points, Budleigh, [[Glenwood-Brooklyn Historic District|Glenwood-Brooklyn]], [[Hayes Barton Historic District]], [[Moore Square Historic District|Moore Square]], [[Mordecai Place Historic District|Mordecai]] (home to the historic [[Mordecai House]]), Rochester Heights, [[East Raleigh–South Park Historic District|South Park]], Rosengarten Park, Belvidere Park, Woodcrest, Oberlin Village, and [[Historic Oakwood]]. These neighborhoods were typically built before World War II, and roughly correspond to the extent of the city of Raleigh before the population boom of the latter half of the 20th century led to growth of the city limits beyond the historic urban core.
