Raleigh's West End Neighborhood
Consider our location our best amenity
(but don’t tell the others we said that).
Nestled in Raleigh’s West End (or should we say “best end?”) at the corner of downtown and Boylan Heights, Platform apartments blend the comforts of a small neighborhood with the bustle of a city.
Whether you’re in search of small businesses, exciting new dining experiences, or outdoor adventures, you can find it all just steps from your front door.
Trying to grab a bite? Pull up a chair at Sam Jones BBQ, Crawford and Son or The Parkside Restaurant, then grab a drink at Vault Craft Beer. Check out the Maker’s Market at nearby Hartwell, or go shopping at the State Farmers Market or in the Village District (not to mention the shops right in our community!).
Looking for some fun and unique entertainment? Stroll the Contemporary Art Museum, see a show at Red Hat Amphitheater or the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts, or challenge a friend to some old-school Mario Kart or other vintage video games at Boxcar Bar + Arcade.
With so much to do and explore, you’ll never have to venture far from your neighborhood for a good time. Plus, Platform apartments are located directly adjacent to Raleigh Union Station, so you can skip travel-time worry and stay focused on your next adventure.
