One of the early 'streetcar suburbs', Cameron Park was carefully planned
and developed in 1910 on land that was once part of the Duncan Cameron
plantation.
A 1914 Parker-Hunter Realty sales booklet describes Cameron
Park as "...a new city within the ancient one of Raleigh."
"The very beauty of the site, its distant prospects,
its physical relation to the city of Raleigh, its multitude
of possibilities encompassed every imaginable desire of the homeloving
heart."
"While to all intents and purposes, within the physical limits
of Raleigh, Cameron Park possesses all of the advantages of a remote
Summer retreat, the land is high and charmingly diversified."
What was true 90 odd years ago is still true today.
Cameron Park remains a wonderfully diverse and desirable neighborhood
with a strong sense of community. Here you will find a nice range
of architectural styles and sizes - from Bungalows to Colonial Revivals
and a couple of duplexes. Enjoy a Saturday or Sunday evening movie
in the park. Mingle with neighbors at the annual Christmas party
and at one of the regular progressive dinners. Walk to shopping, restaurants and other amenities.
A great place to live.
