Cottages and bungalows of 950–1,900 sq ft alongside three-storey infill builds of 1,900–2,600 sq ft dating from 2015 onward.

1 of the 5 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.

About 1.5 miles to downtown Raleigh; 25 minutes to RTP at peak.
Which schools would we be assigned?
Conn Elementary, Ligon Middle and Enloe 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.
