The Mordecai CAC includes several downtown neighborhoods. Our neighborhoods are varied, and include historic homes built in the 1800's up to brand new homes still under construction. There are also several townhome and condominium developments, as well as apartments and rental house communities. The Mordecai CAC is located just north of downtown Raleigh.
The Neighborhood Association Registry is a program with the City of Raleigh. All neighborhoods are encouraged to fill out an application and submit paperwork to be an official neighborhood association. Associations are then eligible for neighborhood improvement grants and other incentives.
