Raleigh enjoys a youthful energy thanks to the many universities located here. This also helps contribute to a large demographic of transient visitors who don’t necessarily plan to put down roots, but still need somewhere to stay for a sustained period of time. Happily, there are plenty of affordable apartment rentals scattered across the city available as monthly or weekly rentals – and here are three online resources dedicated to helping you find the right one for you.
