Try This: Step inside downtown’s newest apartment community

We went under the shell for an exclusive look at The Acorn — a luxe new community open near Moore Square.

Drumroll, please.

The Acorn, Moore Square’s new apartment community, is officially open, and the RALtoday team was among the first to tour the space.

From the moment we set eyes on the building’s stunning hand-painted mural by local artist Clark Hipolito, we were wowed.

Here were our other favorite parts:

Layouts to love

The Acorn offers flexibly arranged studio, 1, and 2-bedroom apartments with high-end finishes throughout.

From quartz countertops + matte black hardware to luxury plank flooring, the modern spaces included some pretty stellar downtown views, and many featured private balconies for those chilly fall mornings (that can’t come soon enough).

All the amenities

The rest of the community felt equally elevated.

We toured the indoor-outdoor work-from-home center, stopped by the community kitchen in the Clubroom, and dreamed of pampering our pups in the fully equipped grooming station.

Finally, after stopping by the pool + courtyard area, which also overlooks downtown Raleigh, we were ready to pack our bags and move in.
