Explore Raleigh building permits, RPD crime data and Residential-4 zoning in Northclift, around Shelley Lake and Six Forks Road.
Search this neighborhoodNorthclift is the north Raleigh area around Shelley Lake along Six Forks Road between East Millbrook Road and Lynn Road, with the Northclift Neighbors, Hidden Valley and Arlington Hills neighborhoods. About three quarters of its land is Residential-4.
Shelley Lake Park (145 acres) and the Sertoma Arts Center, Optimist Park, Cedar Hills Park, the Lakepark Greenway and Sanderson High School are inside it. GoRaleigh routes 8 and 23L 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 Northclift 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.
