Five Points

A grid of pre-war streets north-west of downtown built out between the 1920s and the 1940s, so almost everything here is a bungalow, a Cape Cod or a small two-storey on a modest city lot.

  • Housing stock Craftsman bungalows and Cape Cods, 1,100–2,200 sq ft, many with rear additions from the 2000s onward. A handful of infill new builds on subdivided lots.
  • Typical lot 0.13–0.22 acre, mostly rectangular, alley access on some blocks
  • Getting about About 2.5 miles to the State Capitol; roughly 12 miles to RTP via I-440 and I-40.

Assigned schools

These are the base schools currently assigned to this address by Wake County Public School System. We list assignment as a fact and nothing more — we do not rate, rank or compare schools, and no one at Homestead will, because doing so is how housing discrimination happens in practice. Judge them yourself.

Under 20% down, so private mortgage insurance is included at an estimated 0.55% of the loan a year. On a conventional loan it comes off automatically once you reach 78% loan-to-value, and you can usually request removal at 80%. On most FHA loans it stays for the life of the loan.

10%

Over the full term you would pay about $1,051,964 in interest, assuming you never pay extra and never refinance.

Estimates only. Actual rates depend on credit, loan type and the day. Wake County property tax is reassessed on a four-year cycle, so a recent revaluation can move the tax line. Talk to a lender for a real quote — we can introduce you to three.
