Five Points Historic Neighborhoods
Five Points Historic Neighborhoods, Historic district in Raleigh, United States
Five distinct neighborhoods converge at the intersection of Glenwood Avenue, Fairview Road, and Whitaker Mill Road, forming a residential collection of early 20th-century architecture.
The district emerged between 1910 and 1920 as Raleigh's second suburban development phase, featuring Hayes Barton, Bloomsbury, Georgetown, Vanguard Park, and Roanoke Park neighborhoods.
The area gained recognition as one of Raleigh's LGBT community centers since the 1950s, with establishments like The Mousetrap becoming important gathering spaces.
The neighborhoods contain residences ranging from $299,000 to $3.2 million, with numerous parks, grocery stores, restaurants, and the Rialto Theatre within walking distance.
Carolina Power and Light established an entertainment park in 1918 featuring a penny arcade, roller coaster, and carousel to promote streetcar usage and electricity consumption.
