The real answer is that this seemed like a way to capture closer to downtown for that 5 points are vs what side of gleenwood things are on. But further out I just used gleenwood.
Something else I kind of like about this one is how NW and SW both have 7 groupings.
Looked at the South East part of ITB housing from 2020. No new units were built, but I looked at older buildings that were sold in 2020. You can see the area in this super high quality map I made. Here is the data I gathered/used. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MGtsAyo15mTCsJgh02olBoVyZ-Gc-UdsIHx0ZehwIPQ/edit?usp=sharing
There were 146 housing units sold in this are in 2020. Here is the break down of unit types, counts & average unit cost.
Just looking at Single Family Homes sales over time you can get a sense for how prices in the area may have changed. Kind of stayed the same from the early 80s until ~2017ish when it went up towards $200,000

Here is the data for the “South” area. Much steeper rises in prices, but I was suprised that only 5 new homes were built there in 2020.

Still rough down Garner road. More fill in required north closer to MLK before that area redevelops. IMO.

Very rough… the incident that occurred on Thursday over there looked like the Wild West. It also didn’t make the news, which I’m beginning to question why. Let it be a home invasion where 1 round is fired in North Raleigh and it’s all over the news.

Some brave Urban Pioneers needed for that new development facing Garner Rd. Looks like about 6 modern homes they are building. Don’t know the price point.
I think they’re priced in the mid 400’s.
Yea like @Murr-man said mid 400’s at roughly 440-450 depending on the layout. But the incident I saw happened right at this intersection of Garner and Bragg. Multiple injuries, a couple cars completely shot at, and dozens of shell casings on the ground, nothing on the news. I also witnessed a couple months ago two cars shooting at each other driving down MLK! An innocent person was hit basically head-on by one of the cars, only to have the other car continue to shoot at the original car after it wrecked. One of the victims was taken on a life-flight, also nothing on the news, but yet this morning on WRAL there’s an article about someone being shot with non-life threatening injuries in Durham, it’s very confusing.
Anyways back to the houses on Garner Rd. at roughly $260 per square foot these are slightly cheaper than many of the new construction builds in the area and will probably sell quickly. They are a little close to each other but not many families moving downtown are looking for a huge yard.

Not bad, though I’d swap the location of the coat closet and that fireplace assembly in the living room. Either that, or I’d move the study entrance to the foyer.
I have noticed driving south down Garner in the evening that I can see straight through the northernmost house and into the middle one, which I’m not a fan of. I’d prefer regular townhouses, but maybe that’s just me. Window treatments will be important.
I’m not at all surprised about the cost increases, though, and it’s not just the new builds. Rochester Heights down here in your South district is close to having 200k be the average home price, which is just nuts.
I’ll note that our area had 19 weapons discharges (per Raleigh CrimeMapping.com) in the last six months of 2020, and we’ve had 3 so far this year, so we’re on our usual pace, nothing to see here. No homicides last year! I don’t know why we never hear anything about these incidents but at least 21 years ago when I covered crime for the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel we didn’t report on events in certain specific “bad neighborhoods” unless they resulted in a death, and we had no homicides in South Park last year or this year so far. Of course whether that policy was real or just a general practice I can’t say, but if there’s a similar policy by our local news teams, our neighborhood would qualify at least relative to Raleigh.

I’d love to see an environment-friendly neighborhood somewhere near Dix Park or anywhere in town. Not just solar panels but with water recycling systems and everything.

Will need the city or a non-profit to gift the land. No one can afford new construction real estate near Dix that also achieves meaningful environmental performance.

Having them anywhere would be better than having zero in the area like now.

You may find this interesting. Local non-profit dedicated to sustainable houses and bettering the homes we live in. NC actually shines bright as a high performance home innovation center. My father was actually (one of) the first builders to build a masonry framed custom home in the region with 12" CMU exterior walls in 1999, and we continue to offer this option along with rainwater harvesting and reuse. The National Green Building Standard (NGBS) was developed locally.
Similar to BBQ, I think sustainable architecture / housing design is an area that Raleigh could grab for identity with some vision and initiative. Currently Chatham/Orange county shine as the most categorically Green home building areas (by percentage perhaps more so than volume)

Just got the South East ITB area 2020 info into a blog post, and added some info on tax changes. Any feedback? Typos? Ideas?

As for typos…so far, “didn’t” in the second paragraph.
With your inserted tables of data, I’d replace “old” with “existing”. It just reads better and is a more broad/ inclusive word. Using old makes all of the properties seem, well, old.

I am looking into the “Center South” area
and there were just 2 new homes built in 2020. Is that development across the street from Trophy Maywood still going? It will take 20 years to finish at that pace. The two new homes were at
619 VELMA HOPKINS LN
600 VELMA HOPKINS LN
They went from 9 homes in 2019 to 2 in 2020.
