Five Points Rent Prices in Raleigh 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of $23.2/m², you are paying for the status and the zip code. This area is undeniably BOUGIE, serving as a fortress for those who want historic charm without the grit of developing districts. The inventory is chronically low, so while the price range is wide, the $16.5/m² units are usually outdated relics that lease in minutes.
The Vibe:Five Points is where 1920s architecture meets modern wealth, centered around the confusing five-way intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Whitaker Mill. It’s dominated by well-kept bungalows and residents who value being three minutes from downtown without the noise of Fayetteville Street. Expect a high concentration of luxury SUVs and a constant struggle for a parking spot near the Rialto Theatre.
The median rent price in Five Points, Raleigh is $23.2 per m² per month, 13% below the Raleigh city average of $26.8/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

The GoRaleigh bus runs down Glenwood, but this is a car-dependent neighborhood for anyone with a commute.
