The 7,000-acre Research Triangle Park (RTP) is the largest research park in the United States, and is home to 136 organizations. RTP has over 43,000 full-time employees entering the Park each day. Recognized internationally as a center for cutting-edge research and development, the Park is owned and developed by the private, not-for-profit Research Triangle Foundation. The Research Triangle itself is named for the Triangle formed by the three universities: Duke University at Durham, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University in Raleigh.

RTP is a research park that is closely linked with its surrounding communities. If you are planning to relocate to the area, you will want to get to know the various communities in order to decide where to live. The Triangle area offers many lifestyles, from a quiet, country setting, to a single family home in the suburbs to a townhouse in the city.
