Best of Raleigh | Highland North Hills

We’re thrilled to feature Wesley Jones, Senior Leasing Specialist at Kane Realty, who’s leading the leasing efforts for the latest gem in Raleigh's North Hills area, The Highland at North Hills. This stunning 12-story high-rise, which opened last summer, brings 287 luxury apartments and a wealth of amenities to the vibrant heart of North Hills. With over seven years at Kane Realty, Wesley is known for his dedication to customer service and his knack for connecting future residents with their perfect homes. Here’s an inside look into The Highland and a sneak peek at Kane Realty’s upcoming development, "The Row."

Wesley’s real estate career began nearly 15 years ago, fueled by his passion for connecting with people and building meaningful relationships. Inspired by his mother’s career in the industry, he joined Kane Realty and quickly established himself as a trusted presence in Raleigh’s residential market. Wesley’s role goes beyond showcasing apartments—he often introduces prospective tenants to spaces still under construction, offering a unique opportunity to watch their future homes take shape. For Wesley, working with a community-focused company like Kane Realty is especially fulfilling. As he puts it, they don’t just build structures; they create places that truly feel like home.

Nestled in the heart of North Hills, The Highland redefines apartment living with a blend of luxury and warmth. Featuring 287 meticulously designed residences, it offers the ambiance of a boutique hotel with all the comforts of home. The grand lobby greets residents with the sophistication of a metropolitan estate, setting the tone for an elevated lifestyle.

The amenities are equally impressive—a sprawling fitness center equipped with Pilates reformers, private training rooms, and one of the largest apartment gyms in the Triangle. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the CrossFit-inspired lawn, while remote workers can take advantage of the co-working hub complete with a conference area. Private dining spaces add a touch of exclusivity, making The Highland a community that truly delivers an exceptional living experience.

According to Wesley, Kane Realty’s developments are crafted to deliver both luxury and a strong sense of community—qualities that make The Highland a standout in Raleigh’s vibrant North Hills district. Situated in the heart of this premier hub for dining, shopping, and entertainment, residents enjoy unparalleled convenience with upscale options like Ruth’s Chris Steak House and True Food Kitchen just steps away.

The dynamic neighborhood continues to grow, with new stores and eateries constantly enhancing the lively atmosphere. Within The Highland, thoughtfully designed co-working spaces and expansive terraces create the perfect environment for work, relaxation, and social connection, all while being part of a thriving community.

Wesley shared an exciting update on Kane Realty’s upcoming project, “The Row,” a high-rise set to open in Raleigh’s Rockway district this November. Located near Dix Park, this new development will showcase distinctive floor plans and breathtaking views of the Raleigh skyline.

“The Row” reflects Kane Realty’s dedication to creating thoughtful, community-centered spaces that elevate urban living. With over 50% of retail spaces already leased, it’s poised to become a vibrant addition to the city’s landscape. Residents will enjoy convenient access to local favorites like Benchwarmers Bagels, solidifying The Row as a destination for both living and leisure in Raleigh.
