Wake County

Holly Springs

Holly Springs has grown fast without losing the small-town feel, and the pharma jobs on the 540 corridor keep demand steady. Most homes here are younger than 25 years old.

What you get

Newer systems, HOA amenities, and school assignments that draw families from Cary and Apex looking for more square footage. Condition risk is low; the negotiation is usually about price and closing costs.

The commute

540 made RTP and Apex easy. Downtown Raleigh is still a real drive at 8am — drive it once at that hour before you write.
