I Love Living in Knightdale, North Carolina! User Rating 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Knightdale, North Carolina is a great place to live! I've spent the last 24 years here and plan on spending the rest of my life as a resident of this town. We have so many different things to do, are proud of our history, and have the best restaurants within a 50 mile radius!

...Read More A few of our top attractions are the Marbles Kids Museum. That's right, an awesome not your every day museum that's all about marbles! Another great locale is The Oak City Brewing Company that brews their own beer, serves food and gives tours too where you can sample and enjoy different flavors that are crafted right here in town. In the evening I really enjoy taking a walk through the park.

The cost of living here is very reasonable, and the job market is expanding. We have a really terrific school district too. And for restaurants? My absolute favorite is Mike's Italian Kitchen! Authentic Italian food that is packed with flavor, and the aroma as you walk through the door will really get your stomach rumbling! Read Less
