#Raleigh #Austin #LivinginAustin
Thank you so much for watching! Please drop the video a like!
Ahhh the food
M W calm down
Will you move back to Austin?
Living in Raleigh currently and I love it here! So much opportunity and things to do
There is absolutely nothing to do in Raleigh
Greg you are doing an amazing job. I really enjoyed that opening and the music choices are great.
Moving from Hawaii to the Raleigh area in a couple months. SO EXCITED. But SO nervous! It's gonna be a huge change! Thank you for making this video!
You’ll love it here.
Thank you for posting this, very helpful for someone trying to decide between the two cities.
🙏
Greg kills it again! Great video as always
Thanks for all your content!
Awesome video! I just moved from Raleigh to Austin and am loving it here
Great video man , keep it up. Huge help
Happy Sunday, Travis and fam 😎
Nice video, I'm Raleigh born and raised and it was interesting to see this from newcomer's point of view. If you love North Hills, try Capital Grille if you haven't already. Top notch restaurant. The heat truly comes in during June-September. It's the humidity that hurts. Just wait till you have a day where it's 99 degrees and 90% humidity. Raleigh also does a restaurant week every year, where a bunch of different restaurants each make a special menu for that week. It's a nice introduction to many of the restaurants in the area.
Awesome content man! Looking to moving there soon!
Nice video. You should also mention the Greenway trails and public recreation available in Raleigh.
This was just a chill video. Very calm and relaxing.
Thanks Trevor!
Awesome review and editing Travis. I will visit Raleigh in the near future 🎥🎬🚀
I live right here with you buddy! I love it!
We just bought a second home in Morrisville in August 2020 smack in the middle of covid. We still own a condo in downtown Boston but we love the greater Raleigh area ad we were donw there form January to mid May. And FYI, try MC's in Cary - gives any sushi restaurant in NY a run for its money. Back down there later on this year and can't wait to try out some of your tips and see Raleigh in non covid!
Awesome video! God bless. Very helpful. I love NC!!! 🙏
Coffee-wise, I definitely recommend trying Sosta in downtown Raleigh. If you’re near Crabtree, try Gloria jean’s. If you’re in the cary area, I HIGHLY recommend La Farm Cafe. La Farm is AMAZING. Food-wise, try Beasley’s Chicken and Honey, or Irregardless, or Wy Hill, or Capital Grill, or Brewery Bavana. There are a ton of places in you hit Moore square in downtown
So many great subtle transitions and edits, S/O Greg and Travis!
Greg is killing it!!!!
Thank you for sharing and creating this video! I'm actually from the Cleveland/Akron, Ohio area as well and am considering to transfer within the company that I work for down to their Raleigh location in a couple of years so this helps a ton.
Got this in my recommended.. moving to Raleigh in August! This video was great!!
Thank you! Hope you subscribe and stick around!
NC is like Texas but 10-20 years behind (meaning population density, infrastructure, etc.) It will get there but pacing is much more slower and manageable. Very diverse economy. Plus it has two things TX lacks, good ocean and good mountains. The trees are no joke!
Why does everyone say that NC is 10-20 years behind? Would that be the same case of SC VA & GA??? 🙄🙄😒. Why are you comparing NC to TX?
Raleigh really kind of sucks. too much closeted human trafficking.....i have read articles saying NC is in the top ten states for human trafficking. Now around RTP there are plenty of large corporations that im sure could easily be connected to guys like Jeffery Epstein. I unfortunately even know the name of the local version of Jeffery Epstein. He is a wealthy wall st banker with connections to the BBC child sex scandal, and if i say his name i will be the bad guy and everyone will hate me for pointing out the overt connections
@@jpmking9635 The human trafficking from Mexico into Texas makes Raleigh look like Disney Land
@@Cornell-uz9mc by disney land do you mean kiddie land?
@@Cornell-uz9mc we got a bunch of large corporations moving here and they are all corrupt as hell
I don’t know if anyone has commented on it yet, but Sir Walter coffee shop is named from Sir Walter Raleigh.
“Sir Walter” = Sir Walter Raleigh, the historical figure that Raleigh is named after. (That’s why there is a picture of a guy with a feather in his hat on the Sir Walter’s coffee cup).
Great vid man! I live an hour north of Wilmington but love Raleigh
We bought a home in the new area called Wendell Falls in Wendell about 15 miles from Raleigh. It is a gorgeous planned community with homes for 260.000 to 800.000 all mixed so very diverse. New build is the way to go here.
We looked there ! Love the clubhouse
as a fayetteville NC woman living in austin texas right now... laughing about how you say raleigh.... I think charlotte and nashville tn only places I would head back east for.
I love Sunday mornings...cause I know a new video is coming haha 😄
Raleigh is only part of the story. The Triangle as a whole is what makes the area so cool. Durham and Chapel Hill are both amazing as are some of the suburbs like Cary and Hillsborough. You didn't even touch on the world class universities -- Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, NC State -- that also makes this area unique and different from Austin. Also, there are awesome restaurants in Raleigh and the entire Triangle and it has totally developed a foodie culture with our renowned celebrity chefs and all the transplants moving in from bigger cities. And depending on where in the Triangle you live, including parts of Raleigh, you're actually less than 3 hours to mountains. Boone and Blowing Rock are closer than Asheville and are amazing mountain towns. You're right that Raleigh is more family-oriented than Austin but that's slowly changing to be more balanced -- which in my opinion is a good thing.
Chapel hill is boring asf lol. Franklin st is all they have and that’s not saying much
Been living here since 03 love it
Welcome To Raleigh NC I Have Lived In North Carolina Born And Raised Here I Love My State All My Family And Friends Are Here God Bless You All ❤️😇🙏❣️
Welcome to Raleigh. Best part about Raleigh is that it has something for everyone. And the sprawl of the city has hidden gems all over. Takes some word of mouth to find those other spots. Also, you’re at Beasleys Chicken And Waffles.
So true! The only correction is it's actually named Beasley's Chicken + Honey.
Alphie is ADORABLE!! Welcome to Raleigh... been living here since birth and I 💝 my city 😊😊😊
Good job Greg awesome work on the videos 📹 👏 👍 👌...
Sunday routine for the algorithm!
Super underrated youtuber! Keep grinding...
Great video and lots of good info from a N8tive of the Triangle Area!!
Great comparison. I live in Austin but Im lookin to move somewhere where the climate is a bit cooler because I have enough of the heat. There is not enough rain here. It literally doesnt rain at all in the summer while 3 hours away in Houston they have showers all the time. Ive heard that NC is up and coming and the climate seems perfect. Not too cold, not too hot.
NC came and went.
Haha I was looking to move away from Raleigh because climate is colder here
Your gonna end up back In Austin I can tell. Lol
I’m in San Antonio but I do a lot of work for Amazon in Austin. I’m wanting more mild temperatures like the Carolinas have. Thanks for the video.
Having just moved to the Austin TX area from New England… the food here is amazing, I love the scenery here… I don’t miss just seeing trees upon trees driving up and down the highway… I absolutely love Austin & San Antonio, there’s so much to do here and I don’t see myself wanting to move back to New England… sounds like you really liked it in Austin and would probably move back here someday…
Austin has the best food in the country IMO
Great video! We have been considering a move from the Chicago suburbs for a while!
Get out of there !!!
That sounds to be quite the shift in living! Interesting information
I'm looking to move to Raleigh soon. I just have to decide where to work, because my job doesn't like transferring folks. So I'm willing to try anything at this point.
This last winter was a bit wetter and colder than is typical in the triangle.
My fiancée and I will be getting married in January and we just moved to Cary! We are super excited to settle into NC
We are neighbors!
Unfortunately, a lot of the above average coffee shops are super spread out in the triangle so you have to drive at least 15 minutes to get to them. However, some of my top Coffee shops in the triangle are:
-Cultivate, Fuquay Varina
-Fount, Morrisville
-Bean Traders, Durham
-Joe Van Gogh, Durham
Hope you find this useful for your next weekend coffee run!
will try them out!
@@BusinessAndFitness The coffee shop Cocoa Cinnamon in the Durham area is also very good!!
I also like The Brew Box. It's a coffee truck.
Aversboro coffee in Garner, 10 minute from downtown is the best cup of coffee in town. Hands down, and I’ve tried plenty of shops.
@@BusinessAndFitness Idle Hour Coffee Roasters near Five Points. I think one of the only Vietnamese coffee shops in the area. Also, Black & White Coffee, I think their founders have won some national coffee competitions.
Actually there are some excellent locally-owned coffee houses in Raleigh. Among my favorites are Cup a Joe's (the one on Hillsborough Street - there are 2 locations) and The Third Place (on Glenwood Ave). Both are anti-Starbucks temples...
I like the cup a joe in mission valley bc it's next to D.P Dough 😋
Cup A No... their coffee is burnt dirt
@@fucuszullanti7877 Why cup a Joe is famous is a mystery to me
Welcome to Ralz. Had to pause at the part about coffee and chime in because there’s some great places around. Check out Black & White Coffee (top tier, also a roaster), Jubala, Morning Times, Benchwarmers, 42nd & Lawrence, and BREW for a good fix.
Thank you!!
Its kinda cool how other people are like and their reaction to my city been here my entire life. Some of the roads you were driving on I knew very very well. Recommend My Way Tavern in holly springs one of my favorite bars/taverns. Also Cant wait for 540 to be finished it ends right near my area so cant wait till it to be finished should be finished around 2025 and they started work on 540 in 2007 so its been a long project.
Hey I am a senior in highschool and I am from Raleigh. I highly recommend just checking out downtown. A great coffee shop downtown is 42 and Laurence (lots of unique options) and a good restaurant option is beasley’s chicken and homey if you are looking for a bit to eat. I hope you love the city!
Thanks !!
Came to your channel from meet Kevin channel. Your dog is adorable and enjoyed this video. Thanks !
Thank you for being here !
Just what I needed...leaving San Antonio Tx. in a month to settle in N.C...looking to rent until I get a feel of the terrain.
Loved it👌
A bit surprised by the "lots of Starbucks" and "not many good coffee shops" in Raleigh. I trust almost a year after this video you've found our coffee gems that are plenty. Love your enthusiasm of Raleigh in your videos and if you're up for a good schooling of downtown, hit me up. Super exciting time to live in Raleigh! Keep up the great videos, Travis!
You nailed it !
I live in the 27610 area and found my house for $160 k 3 years ago. 5-10 minutes away from downtown. You haven't been to jubala coffee and need to go ASAP.
Born and raised in Raleigh then lived in Dallas and Austin TX. relocating to Greenville SC. Austin has a lot going for it but... it's very expensive! Raleigh is a lot cheaper both renting and home ownership. Austin is very crowded and the road system is struggling to keep up. Raleigh has a much more diverse economic base with medical, education, bio pharma, and tech along with government. Austin is tech, government and more tech and its wrecking the city. a lot of homeless and petty crime. RDU is very diverse also. Austin has a nice downtown and the hills are great. but proximity to mountains and beach from Raleigh is hard to beat.
I’m from the Greenville SC metro area. It’s relatively small but it’s growing really fast for a South Carolina city! So many people are moving to the area now.
I lived in Austin too! I'm fond of seasons so I have to pick Raleigh over Austin. Nice vid...
Born and raised in Eastern NC. Moved to Cary/Raleigh area a decade ago. Now I’m ready to move on to something else. Austin is one of the places that crossed my mind. We will see.
You are right about the gums, have issues when I go for work. But if into powerlifting, oly lifting. Check out NYC strength in Cary just east of Raleigh
I can tell you miss Austin lol. I have lived in 3 states, California, Arizona and Colorado. One thing I have learned about myself is cold weather is NOT for me. Once I leave Colorado, I will never live anywhere again where the weather cannot accommodate Palm Trees. If it's not warm enough for palm trees to grow, it's too cold for me. I'd take the hottest summer in Phoenix, over anybody's cold, icy, snowy weather.
Sorry I know I'm rambling a bit about my hate for cold weather lol. I actually like North Carolina, it's a beautiful state, and Torchy's is the bomb too by the way. Glad you got one!
Thanks for the vid bro! fellow Ohio boy that’s lived in Austin and moving to Raleigh in two weeks.
I live in Raleigh and just got back from Austin. My first visit and OMG I loved it! (funny how this video popped up in my feed) If I had to move to TX, Austin would be the place for me.
Famous RUclips Safiya Nygaard just moved to Raleigh as well.
btw the sir water guy is sir walter raleigh. Sir walter raleigh founded the city of raleigh
The city was named for Sir Walter Raleigh, who lead the first English attempt to establish a settlement in America in 1587. the settlement is now know as The Lost Colony. Sir Walter was later beheaded "for treason" by King James I in London in 1618. The City of Raleigh was founded in 1792, or two centuries after Sir Walter 's brief visit to America.
I need to get onto RUclips more. Followed you for a minute on here and didn’t realize we lived in the same city😂
Gotta watch every video man!!
Travis, can you do a vid on personal finance I.e budgets, investing etc - I think it would be good content given your work
The crazy thing is in 05 we moved from NC to Texas, because Tx (DFW) was so much cheaper. And now it seems to be going the opposite way, Lol.
Shout out to Greensboro my home town! I currently live in Dallas.
Enjoyed.
Getting married in a few weeks my wife to be wants us to move to Florida but I'm trying to tell her Raleigh, North Carolina or Houston Texas. She loves warm weather. It looks like such a lovely place...
Move to Raleigh.
Raleigh sucks trust me
@@dylon2372 may be add a bit more to your info
Going to grad school just to stay in Raleigh longer! Also didn’t know there was a Torchys here!!
It just opened a few weeks ago.
Yeah I worked there when Torchy's open and help them launch in Raleigh
coming from an Austinite Torchys sucks man
@@azulaquaza4916 how do they suck to you. My experience was great! Was it something with management.
@@gavinproduction7433 No, I had Arlington's, but the meat really just doesn't hit and have a flavor like something Veracruz or Velvet would give in one of their tacos. It's definitely bottom of the barrel.
Trophy Pizza & Brewing and obviously the Angus Barn!
Can you offer any other suggestions on gyms in the area? I’m considering moving to Raleigh and that’s something I’d be interested in getting more info on. Thanks! Love the videos!
I strongly reccomend 02 fitness. They have gyms all throughout the city and all are different so you get different experiences . I was NOT a fan of fitness connection
@@BusinessAndFitness great, thanks for the info!!
I’ve lived here all my life and I can say that a “Raleigh native” is rare here. I have lived through the bare bones to what we have now.
Speaking of Austin, I been watching your old Austin videos. I can't find where you went for the duck tacos though! Of course, I been to Chi'lantro, Summermoon, round rock donuts, and Freebirds
Duck Tacos are in Raleigh at Bar Taco :)
Thanks for the video Travis . I’m comparing San Antonio and Raleigh and you’ve made it better . I have a question for you , who did the work on your gym ? I would like to have a gum added to my hole as well . I like to work out at home due to it being more sanitary in my opinion . Thanks in advance !
Local carpenter !
Great video. i am moving to Raleigh in the next 12 mo.
We are still in Austin, be glad you moved!
I grew up in Austin .... just moved to Raleigh last month also ......
@@Cornell-uz9mc worth it?
I’m really looking forward to visiting Raleigh when the border opens. And absolutely my dog needs to eat when I’m eating 😁 As always, Greg did a masterful job with the edits 🙌👊
Your house looks so cool. I like how you described mild weather 😃
I can’t take heat or cold. Would Raleigh be the place for me?
Nope lol
Sir Walter Raleigh was a privateer for Queen Elizabeth I. He founded the first attempted English settlement in the New world in the 1580's. The colony was on Roanoke Island at the outer banks. This was the lost colony because after England survived the Spanish armada the colonist had disappeared. Take a ride down US64 east and go to the outer banks, you will love them.
Gave you that like bro ✌🏻
Thanks man!
How does the summer compare in both locations? How many months of serious heat is there in Austin vs Raleigh? Considering both locations but I heard Texas is hot literally half the year and idk if I can do that.
Texas is hotter for sure .
Try SOLA cafe. Great coffee and amazing breakfast food…one of a kind. My husband and I are foodies and we always try to find the best spots. Downtown Apex and Cary are worth a try! Mexican food….Gringo a Go go
Which builder did you use for your beautiful home? Is this in a community? Thanks
Hoping to move to the Raleigh area this summer. We were considering Austin but it is too expensive now. We visited NC recently and loved Cary. Any other areas worth checking out?
Cary / apex is great!
It depends how close you want to be to downtown Raleigh and/or Durham.
Cary is excellent, best bang for your buck right now is Garner, its just south of Downtown (I live near Garner city hall and can be in downtown raleigh in about 5 or 6 minutes easy) and the housing is exploding right now, but its the last of the immediately adjacent suberbs to have that price explosion because everyone in garner is like 80 and have lived in their houses for decades, so nothing ever came on the market until the last couple years, but as those people are dying, the houses are coming up more and more and its blowing up. you'll still pay like 30% less than for Cary and in a year or so your house will be the same price as one in Cary is today.
You should consider Raleigh before Austin. Austin is too expensive, overcrowded, high cost of living, low paying jobs for the increase cost of living unless you’re in upper position of tech companies, and rude drivers and people overall. You will be better off moving to Raleigh which is much better in terms of less traffic, better paying jobs, friendlier people, and decent cost of living. PLEASE don’t choose Austin, Tx as a place to move!
@@eugenetown16 we ended up in Raleigh after I saw what was going on in Austin. We go in before Raleigh became the most competative market in the nation. I still keep an eye on the market and it is insane. I would tell others to maybe consider other markets right now.
I am moving from SATX to Raleigh for work. I’m looking forward to living in NC
You’ll love it !
My husband and I just moved here from ATX and your points are spot on! The craft beer scene here is also great. My fav is Ponysaurus in Durham. For the Lady Bird Lake lovers, the 100+ miles of connected Greenways in Raleigh is where it's at! Our biggest culture-shock was the massive sandwich culture here compared to ATX. You trade amazing tacos for awesome delis, but I'm so so so happy Torchy's is here now! Can we please get an HEB next?!
PLEASE!
Hey Travis,
Seems like you're in holly springs area. If so check of cultivate coffee in FV, full bloom coffee in Garner, and/or meeples brew in Mooresville. As far as small town gyms: bull and bear in FV, Olympus athletic club in Raleigh.
I've heard good things about Cultivate!
Do you think this NC area is super dog friendly? Like dog friendly bars, restaurants, parks, beaches? My family is pups. Which is what I keep seeing in Austin. But the traffic and busyness seems intimidating and hotness. I live in a small Midwest state right now
ehhh.... not nearly as much so as Austin. Austin is the most dog friendly city I have ever seen.
I hope Raleigh don’t becomes overcrowded and expensive place to live like Austin is now. I also hope the jobs for an average person in Raleigh pays enough for the cost of living in Raleigh unlike Austin that pays average person low wages for the astronomical cost of living. Raleigh seems like a nice quiet place to live.
sounds like you all will be moving to austin at some point :) raleigh looks nice. it's similar prices to certain areas in ohio which I am determined to move out of. might need to try austin out.
Austin is badass city
great breakdown of both cities rich homeslice
I'm from Germany and I thought about moving to the US, and yea Raleigh seems like a nice place to be! :)
What towns and neighborhoods do you recommend for a family with kids wanting a 4br+ in the $450,000-$550,000 range?
Clayton, Garner, Wendell , Fuquay
Lived in Raleigh my whole life and to me it don't get cold enough and we barely get snow. And we do have those gyms and people running around lol
Awesome !
Hi thanks for the video, I'm graduating in May (Oregon College) and I was wondering how to meet friends & people in a completely new place/ state? How do you figure out which place in the South is for you? Thanks!
Honestly I did it through the gym and social media!
Thank you for your great video, I am now in Seattle, thinking of moving , looking for warm, not hot weather and l full of life, any suggestions!
Question plz .. is it very hot humid and is their mosquito or insects in summer , also how long is winter in both cities plz, which one more fun and livable..
Raleigh
Let’s go!
