Tucked away inside Raleigh's I-440 beltline just north of downtown, Fallon Park is one of the city's most sought-after historic neighborhoods.
It sits on land that was originally part of the expansive William Christmas plantation in the 1800s before being sold off in parcels. Development of Fallon Park began around 1915 as Raleigh expanded its boundaries.
The neighborhood consists mostly of homes built between the 1920s and 1950s in popular early 20th century styles like Craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revivals, Colonial Revivals, and ranch houses.
Notable local builders like York Properties constructed many of these residences over the decades.
As the community grew, churches, schools, and businesses opened to serve residents.
Today, Fallon Park contains over 300 homes showcasing architecture from the 1920s alongside more contemporary infill.
Historic designation protects the neighborhood's character while its location provides easy access to downtown.
