Raleigh is growing, and with that growth comes a need for more housing options that suit different lifestyles, budgets, and family sizes. After passing the Missing Middle Housing text changes, Raleigh is beginning to see a pipeline of new missing middle housing units—new homes that may not have existed without these changes. The adoption of text changes TC-5-20 in 2021 and TC-20-21 in 2022 laid the groundwork for these changes by permitting missing middle housing in more residential districts and increasing density near high-frequency transit corridors.
