The Streets at Southpoint

One of the best malls ever! I just moved to the area and my husband sent me to go to a movie and do some shipping for myself. Everything was neat and clean, the stores were wonderful and every person was kind and helpful. It’s also BEAUTIFUL! I can’t wait to see it at Christmas!

This mall is a lot better than Crabtree plus the food court is a little trendy.
I wasn’t to impressed with The Ville pizza but its your average food court pizza.
They have a Gigi’s Cupcake stand and a See’s Candy stand which is cool with
some other nifty shops but what they don’t have just as Crabtree is a Hot Topic.
I was shocked by this but it was okay knowing a Cheesecake Factory was nearby.
Not even a Spencer’s which is always in if not Hot Topic.

This is where I go to get some serious shopping done! I love the stores there, and everything is beautiful. My favorites are Nordstrom, Vineyard Vines, and Sperry. My mom loves the Lilly Pulitzer too. The service in every shop I’ve been in is excellent and I visit about every two weeks.

Southpoint is a really nice mall overall and has a lot to offer from its restaurants, department stores, clothing and shoe stores, and movie theater. I love the outdoor area of the mall. It makes it fun to walk around especially when it’s nice out. The stores in the outside area are really nice too — from free people to lululemon and anthropology. There’s also a Barnes and noble right at the center of the outdoor area and an Apple Store which is very convenient and both are always crowded.
The restaurant options are good but consists of a lot of chains which is typical of a mall setting. There is outdoor seating at a lot of them and I would recommend that when the weather is good for it. They also usually have a concert series outside, a magician, and an ice cream stand throughout the summer. The food court is your typical mall food court, however, they recently opened up a few new places that are popular food trucks in the area like American meltdown so I would check that out! The mall isn’t overly big, but it still has most of the stores I would want to venture to and even a few boutiques.
This mall needs more entrances and needs more parking desperately. They should really build a parking deck here. It’s always super crowded especially on the weekends and it takes forever to find parking and to exit the mall. This makes it really frustrating when you just want to have a relaxing and fun day of shopping.

Southpoint is a very clean and nice looking mall. While I do prefer Crabtree Valley Mall, Southpoint has all of the usual stores, with more stores aimed towards women, especially with the Nordstrom there. I do like that they have an outdoor portion to the mall that also has many restaurants and shops. There is also a really nice theater and Crate and Barrel as well. Southpoint also has a nice selection of jewelry stores, and I’ve also noticed an increase in athletic footwear stores as well. The food court has decent options, and the local food trucks American Meltdown and Porchetta have also opened. Overall, Southpoint is very good mall with a great variety of restaurants and shops.

I appreciate their open parking lots, rather than decks like Crabtree. Plenty of restaurant choices and a food court. A little of everything. The outdoor area of the mall is nice for a stroll and, of course, a nice movie theater.

Small, but gorgeous little shopping place. There is a pretty decent variety of stores and restaurants here. It’s clean, well kept and feels safe. Excellent place for xmas shopping or whatever shopping needs you have.

Huge Mall, I try to visit whenever I am in town. Very pleasant to stroll around and plenty of great food choices. Parking was simple and the stores were similar to my usual jersey malls.
Would absolutely return and recommend it to someone looking to shop in the area.

My second favorite mall around the area, Crabtree will forever have my heart.
Great store selection, this mall has stores that always fit my needs. And, the options for food are better, in my opinion.
Parking can be a hassle but that is going to be the case at any mall, lets face it some shoppers take shopping very seriously.

The variety of stores is excellent, the mall extending to the outside provides a more open feel. The food court is nicely setup and the double story allows room to move around. Down the walkway outside is an IMAX theater.

Nice casual ambiance, never too crowded. Standalone restaurants (like Maggiano’s) are excellent but the second floor food court is garbage, even illegal — note plenty of reviews for the Chinese establishment claim hidden overcharges.

Como não dar quatro estrelas pro único shopping em volta de Chapel Hil/​Durham. Claro que existe o CabTree e outros shopping centers in Raleigh mas para que ir tão longe?
No Southpoint você tem muitas lojas de departamento (Macy’s, Belk, Sears, Nordstrom…), você tem lojas de marcas locais, cinema AMC, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, Footlocker, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, milhões de opções de alimentação tanto de fast food como de restaurantes mais legais e muitas sobremesas.
O estacionamento é gigante, difícil dizer que veio e não achou uma vaga. Se vier de ônibus pode pegar o 800 de Chapel Hill (sai bem do centro da cidade) e demora mais ou menos 30 min. Adoro vir aqui e é uma ótima distração da cidade. A decoração da rua com as estátuas é meio brega, mas as crianças adoram brincar com a água.
Se atravessar a Reinassance Pkw você chega à Target e outras lojas. Vale muito a pena.

It’s everything you’d expect from a mall with a couple perks. The Streets are lovely, an open, outdoor mall feel with fountains, live music in the summer, seating but hardly any shade. The Streets have «fancier» i.e. more expensive restaurants if you want something other then the food court. AMC is your typical mall movie theater and your stores range from a candy shop [It’s Sugar], clothing [Free People, Urban Outfitters, Lululemon, Brooks Brothers, Anthropology], kitchen ware [Sur la Table], furniture [West Elm, Crate & Barrel, all the Pottery Barns] electronics [Apple], books [Barnes & Noble] and a handful of things I’m sure I left out.
Inside the mall you’ve got some fancy perks: rocking chairs that face out with a lovely view of the streets (on the second floor) and «charging stations» for electronics with chairs and a little table [FREE!] You’ll find your typical mall stores: Tevana, Loft, Gap, Black & White Market, AE, Francesca’s, William Sonoma, Bath & Body, Vicky’s Secret, J Crew, Bare Minerals, JC Penny, Macy’s, Belk, etc. etc. etc. (I got go on and go, hopefully you’ve been in a mall before and get the picture). Also, check out the café in Nordstrom’s, hidden gem for sammy’s and coffee. Southpoint Mall meets my shopping needs when necessary (I’m not a huge shopper) and it’s well air conditioned with plenty of parking all around the mall. Although it gets crowded, it’s a good place to kill a couple hours during a hot summer day when you’re changing up your wardrobe.

Decent mall featuring a pretty solid middle-​tier (think J. Crew, Anthropologie, Lululemon, etc.) selection of stores. While this place lacked the high-​end stores (think Tiffany’s, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, etc.) that I’m accustomed to back at home, it made up for that by having this lovely outside walking area with an assortment of restaurants. Fun to walk around with friends. Very diverse population of shoppers.

I love the variety of shops here. High-​end to low-​end, there seems to be something for everyone.
The storefronts are likened to actual «street» shops, which I think was a great branding idea. The food court has some nice offerings.
It’s very clean & easy to navigate through the two levels. Oh & free Wi-​Fi!
Plenty of parking & security presence, inside & outside the mall.

I have had enough of the cart vendor near Sears trying to get you to stop and see what they are selling. I was trying to walk from Verizon to Lucky and they are SO rude and when I did not stop and listen to their spew the male salesperson said rude things to me.
Why can’t the Mall get rid of this vendor?!
I HATE having to go to Southpoint Mall because of this vendor.

This is the BEST mall! I feel like most malls are usually missing at least one of your favorite stores am I right? You’re like oh this mall would be perfect if it had [enter name of store]… But really with this mall I don’t know what else they could add. It’s got it all. It’s also really clean and nice looking. I hate when malls are super outdated. Also, I love the indoor/​outdoor thing! I wish it could be all outdoor, but I forget that we do that in CA where I’m from because we have no weather. Stores, restaurants, movie theater (AMC)…it’s got it all! My only gripe is that it doesn’t open until noon on Sunday! Seriously? Again, I forget I’m not in CA.

This can be a fun mall to walk around in, though parking can be an absolute nightmare. There are a wide range of shops and restaurants, most of them your average big chain tourist traps. Zinburger. is the standout for a halfway interesting concept — it’s a modern burger and wine bar with a few locations in other states, and they have decent culinary sensibilities.
Don’t venture here on the weekend or you risk wandering around the parking lot for twenty minutes trying desperately to find a space while wondering if it’s a) worth it to pay for their valet parking or b) go somewhere else to shop. I generally opt for B, or just refuse to visit during peak hours.
Event listings at this mall and a store directory can be found at their web site,

I frequent this mall often for several reasons. This is probably the location of the closest Chipotle to where I live (our family LOVES Chipotle). It’s a really pretty mall, with cute ‘street storefronts’ and cool (if not mildly creepy) bronze children statues throughout the mall (the one on the top of the escalator by the food court always freaks me out) and at the fountains outside. The mall does have an upscale feel, especially considering all their more specialized or higher end stores. Shops I frequent: Sephora, Crate & Barrel, Stride Rite, Rack Room Shoes, Belk. I have a 14-​month old daughter, and when it’s cold, darker, or ugly outside, I’ll take her to the kids area by Belk/​JC Penny to play and run around. Great way for her to get out her energy.
Cons about this mall… where should I begin? First off, the PARKING LOT LAYOUT and entrances from the main roads. WHO designed this?! It’s horrendous to force drivers in one direction vs having a right/​left turn intersection. The main exit out onto Fayetteville? WHY does the right side have a stop sign, left side does not, and considering all the Freeway ramps are after a left turn, not assume that people on that right side would be stuck waiting an eternity to try and get in a left-​turn lane? That might be a personal pet peeve of mine, but surely I’m not alone. The mall gets insanely busy on the weekends. I don’t know why I keep forgetting this and show up anyway.
I also agree with Emily’s review, that it’s a bit annoying that Starbucks is within Barnes and Noble and not freestanding within the mall. I freely admit to being a Starbucks fan, so there you go. Great overall variety, with literally something for everyone. Someone in civil engineering (or more specifically, the parking lot designer and the guy that approved the layout) needs to get the sense knocked back into them.

It is always superb fun wandering around Southpoint; both the indoor and outdoor areas have a great variety of boutiques for browsing and window shopping. Many are high-​end places, but my personal favorites are the Barnes and Noble, the candy store, the kitchenware store, the Hallmark gift shop, and of course the yearly Halloween costume shop. On various occasions we come just for movie showings at the IMAX theater, definitely a nice touch.
There are a variety of sit-​down restaurants in addition to the food court inside. However, I’ve never eaten at any of them personally so not much to report on them, sorry Unilocalers.
The entire shopping mall space is also very easy on the eyes: the streets are clean and there are statues and fountains periodically scattered around. There is a huge parking lot, but of course sometimes the available spots are reeeeaally far out. That’s ok though, more exercise is always good. But then again after a full day of walking around Southpoint, your feet may beg to disagree.

The Streets at Southpoint Mall is really well presented, not only by the variety of shops they offer, but by the perks such as indoor and outdoor shopping, nice sit down restaurants and a new connection to the American Tobacco Trail through the foot bridge over the 40 freeway. It’s always very clean, and I love the look of the mall in general. They do a good job of carrying out their «streets at southpoint» theme both indoor and outdoor.
The food court is great, with lots and lots of tables. The bathrooms are large and spacious and perfect for families and moms with kids, which is a big plus. I love that there are mile markers for new moms like me who love to walk around the mall to burn off that post-​baby fat! I can easily walk 2 miles when walking in the bottom and top indoor floors!
I do wish that there were elevators on both ends of the indoor mall. I have only seen the one by the food court (center entrance, by outdoor shopping area). Also a BIG DOWNER for me is that no dogs are allowed on the mall premises — at all. I was disappointed to find that out since I like to walk my dog on the American Tobacco Trail just behind the mall. I think the mall would draw more customers if they allowed people to bring their dogs to the outdoor shopping area. One would hate to drive from Raleigh with their dog, only to be kicked out because of their little furball… An unfortunate circumstance which has already happened to one of my dear friends.
