Explore Raleigh building permits, RPD crime data and Residential-10 zoning in Idlewild, along New Bern Avenue and South Raleigh Boulevard.
Search this neighborhoodIdlewild is the area southeast of downtown between New Bern Avenue and Rock Quarry Road, with the College Park, Thompson-Hunter and Battery Heights neighborhoods. About half of its land is Residential-10.
Roberts Park, Wilson Park, Tarboro Road Park, the Davie Street and Fisher Street mini-parks and the Richard B. Harrison Library are inside it. GoRaleigh routes 5, 10, 15, 17 and 18 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 Idlewild 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.
