Explore Raleigh building permits, RPD crime data and Residential-6 zoning in Oberlin, along Oberlin Road north of Wade Avenue.
Search this neighborhoodOberlin is the area along Oberlin Road north of Wade Avenue, named for Oberlin Village, the freedmen’s settlement founded there after the Civil War. Latta University Historic Park, Jaycee Park and Chamberlain Park are inside the outline, and townhouse permits are a large share of recent activity.
Houses on Residential-6 and Residential-10 land make up most of it. GoRaleigh routes 8 and 16 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 Oberlin 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.
