Search this neighborhoodCrabtree Heights and Forest Acres is the area along Wake Forest Road and East Six Forks Road north of Whitaker Mill Road, including the Forest Acres and Crabtree Heights neighborhoods and the shopping strips around Six Forks Road. Commercial mixed-use districts are its largest single share of zoning, and alterations and retaining walls lead active permits.
Kiwanis Park and its community center, Kimbrough Park and the Five Points Center for Active Adults are inside it. GoRaleigh routes 2, 14 and 24L serve the area. The boundary is built from census block groups, so it follows streets and creeks but is not an association or historic-district line.
CivicScout counts Raleigh Police reported offenses that carry a location, traffic crashes and open 311 requests inside the Crabtree Heights & Forest Acres boundary for any searched address. RPD withholds the location of most sexual offenses and every child-abuse report, so located counts understate violent crime. Police place incidents on the block’s street, so offenses within about 30 meters of the outline are counted, and an offense on a street shared by two neighborhoods counts toward both. Raleigh publishes no code violations feed, so this page does not cover one.
