Questions we get about Garner

Straight answers

What kind of homes are here?
Brick ranches and split-levels of 1,200–2,200 sq ft in the older sections; 1,700–3,000 sq ft two-storeys and 1,400–1,800 sq ft townhomes in the newer ones.
Is there an HOA?
2 of the 4 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 8 miles to downtown Raleigh via US-70; roughly 22 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.
