North Hills (Raleigh)
neighborhood in Raleigh, North Carolina
North Hills is a mixed use development located in Raleigh, North Carolina that includes stores, restaurants, entertainment, commercial offices, residential living and a continuing care retirement community. There is a large outdoor commons area which features events such as live concerts, festivals, and a farmers' market.
The development lies at the intersection of Six Forks Road and Lassiter Mill Road, just to the north of the Six Forks Road interchange on Interstate 440. Major anchors to the development include Target, the Renaissance Raleigh Hotel, and a Regal Cinemas 14-screen movie theater, as well as former anchor JCPenney, which closed in April 2020, with its site being redeveloped for a new anchor store, Restoration Hardware.
The development is built on the site of a former shopping mall, called North Hills Mall, which was the first enclosed shopping mall in between Atlanta and Washington DC.
Site layout
The site is divided into three districts by Six Forks Road and Lassiter Mills Road, known as Main District, Lassiter District, and Park District.
Main District, lying south of Lassiter Mills Road and west of Six Forks Road is the site of the former North Hills Shopping Mall, and was the first to be redeveloped into the mixed-use development. It features the Target, Regal Cinema, Renaissance Hotel, and the former JCPenney. It also includes a number of smaller shops and restaurants.
Lassiter District, lying north of Lassiter Mills Road and west of Six Forks Road contains a residential tower known as the Alexan, and a number of smaller shops and restaurants, the most prominent being a Total Wine shop, formerly a Harris Teeter grocery store (before their move across the street to Park District). The largest of the three districts, and also the most recently opened, is Park District, which lies east of Six Forks Road and south of Dartmouth Road.

Why this record matters
The phrase “neighborhood in Raleigh, North Carolina” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7055633. The first chronological checks are 2020.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
