Questions we get about Fuquay-Varina

Straight answers

What kind of homes are here?
Detached two-storeys of 1,700–3,400 sq ft in the newer subdivisions; early-1900s wood-frame houses of 1,100–2,000 sq ft near the two downtown cores.
Is there an HOA?
1 of the 3 homes we have listed here carry a monthly fee. What it covers varies — in townhome and condominium communities it often includes exterior maintenance, roof and water, which changes the comparison against a detached house more than most buyers expect. Always read the schedule and the reserve study.
How far is the commute?
About 22 miles to downtown Raleigh via US-401; roughly 25 miles to RTP.
Which schools would we be assigned?
Ballentine Elementary, Fuquay-Varina Middle and Fuquay-Varina High (Wake County Public School System). Assignment is set per address and is reassigned periodically, so confirm the current base assignment with the district before you rely on it.
