“Stayed here to bring my daughter in for NC State orientation. Great location to drive from or even biker to campus. I forgot my shorts on the deck and they were kind enough to ship them to me. Watch the video and check in is easy.”

Apartment vs hotel
Cook breakfast before a campus tour or graduation morning, and feed the whole family — full-size fridge, dishwasher, real cookware — instead of hunting for a table on a packed parents’ weekend.
A separate bedroom and a real living room, so parents, siblings, and the student aren’t crammed into one hotel room for move-in or graduation weekend.
Settle in for move-in or graduation weekend without living out of a suitcase — a washer and dryer in every unit.
On move-in, parents’ weekend, and graduation, the campus-area hotels sell out and surge — a furnished apartment usually costs less, sleeps the whole family, and booking direct drops the 15–20% OTA service fee entirely. Ask about weekly rates.
A quick drive or rideshare down Hillsborough Street to NC State for tours, move-in, the ceremony, or a Wolfpack game — with your own secured parking downtown instead of the campus decks.
We own and operate every apartment, so you reach the people who run the building — instant confirmation, and easy to extend if you add a day around graduation.
Getting around
NC State’s main campus is about 2 miles west down Hillsborough Street — a short drive, rideshare, or the free Wolfline bus. The upside is downtown Raleigh on your doorstep: Glenwood South, Fayetteville Street, the Warehouse District, and Union Station are all walkable from 400H.
A straight ~8-minute drive (about 2 miles) west down Hillsborough Street to NC State’s main campus and the Belltower. Campus visitor parking is in the Coliseum and other decks; expect more traffic on move-in, game, and graduation days.
NC State’s free Wolfline and the GoRaleigh system run along Hillsborough Street between downtown and campus — a car-free option for a campus day.
Raleigh’s Union Station is a short walk/ride from 400H — handy for family traveling in for the weekend.
About 15 miles / a 20-minute drive — for family flying in for move-in or graduation.
Make a weekend of it
Make a day of the visit — NC State’s Belltower and the Hillsborough Street college-town strip, the free NC Museum of Art, and Dorothea Dix Park are all close by.
The 115-foot Memorial Belltower and the brick Court of North Carolina anchor NC State’s campus — the classic stop on a tour, Parents’ Weekend, or graduation visit, about 8 minutes from your apartment.
NC State’s main drag runs right along campus — coffee, bookstores, and student-favorite restaurants, and the straight line back to your downtown apartment.
A free, world-class art museum with a 164-acre park, outdoor sculptures, and trails — an easy, no-cost afternoon with the family between campus stops.
Raleigh’s 308-acre flagship park on a hill with skyline views, wide-open lawns, and a sunflower field in summer — room for the kids to run, minutes from campus and downtown.
Why you’re in town

Touring with a prospective Wolfpacker, or back for an admitted-student day? A central downtown base, a short drive from campus, with plenty to do between visits.

NC State’s Commencement is typically held in May at the Lenovo Center (PNC Arena) — book early, it sells the city out. In the fall, the same apartment is a great base for a Carter-Finley football Saturday or a basketball weekend. Check NC State’s official calendar for graduation dates.
