The economy has changed and it has some college graduates rethinking the traditional "American dream" of buying a house. Many college graduates are considering renting vs buying a home.

Many college graduates in and around Raleigh are more focused on looking for jobs.

In years past, it was understood that after your graduated college, you would start your job, buy a home and start a family. Not so anymore. These days, Raleigh area college grads are either not finding jobs that are paying enough to feel they can qualify for a traditional mortgage, or not feeling like they want to spend all that money on a down payment and interest, when they can invest it instead.

Many people are opting to rent an apartment in Garner or around the Raleigh area.

Graduates want to feel confident and stable in a job before opting for a mortgage, in this economy, security is a rare commodity for many. Many college grads out there don’t want to be trapped in a 20 or 30 year loan.

The Triangle area does have diverse work opportunities. Abberly Place Apartments has a new college graduate special for those looking for a one bedroom or two bedroom apartments in the Raleigh area around the Research Triangle area.

The ways that Raleigh continues to get recognized continues to grow. CNN Money has recognized the city as number 20 out of 100 cities in the nation that are the best place to “Live and Launch”.

One of Raleigh’s biggest advantages is that it has a thriving tech industry and it is centrally located amid major research and business centers.

Raleigh has a growing tech industry, thanks in part to its close proximity to Research Triangle Park. Raleigh takes entrepreneurship seriously: 20 regional organizations provide guidance and financial support to small-business owners. Entrepreneurial enclaves are even starting to spawn in some of Raleigh's suburbs, such as Garner and Holly Springs. Entrepreneurs also like the fact that Raleigh has no local income tax.

If you are relocating to North Carolina, look at apartments in Garner, NC. There is more than just great industry in Raleigh too.  The Capital of North Carolina has a healthy offering of museums, performing arts and golf courses, and is conveniently nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the beaches of the Carolina coast.
