Explore Raleigh building permits, RPD crime data and Residential-4 zoning in Lake Johnson, around Lake Johnson Park and Avent Ferry Road.
Search this neighborhoodLake Johnson is the neighborhood around Lake Johnson Park, along Avent Ferry Road and Gorman Street west of the NC State campus. The 472-acre park is a large share of its land, with Residential-4 subdivisions around it.
Kentwood Park, Kaplan Park, Athens Drive High School and the Athens Drive Community Library are inside it. GoRaleigh routes 11 and 11L (the Buck Jones Connector) 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 Lake Johnson 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.
