Holly Springs, North Carolina

The Town of Holly Springs in southwest Wake County had its beginnings as a crossroads near springs of fresh water at a spot where holly trees were numerous. Travelers along the road from Raleigh to the Cape Fear River and on to Fayetteville or those traveling from Hillsborough to Smithfield stopped by the springs to quench their thirst.

The town remained fairly small, until the 1990's when commuters to nearby Raleigh saw the potential to live in an area that was lovely, and convenient. Holly Springs is only 15 miles to Raleigh and 6 miles to Cary. Today, 14,000 people call Holly Springs home and that number is projected to grow to about 25,000 in the next four to five years.

Education, public safety, and quality-of-life are perhaps the most important of our strategic goals for Holly Springs. The Bass Lake Park project - which will include a wonderful retreat center, boating activities, greenways, bike paths, walking trails, fishing and more - is just one example of our focus on park development.

If you're looking for a home with that true country/rural feel, then Holly Springs is the place to look! With many of the homes nestled into the mountain sides, views are spectacular, and land is plentiful. There are a wide variety of single family homes available, from chalet-style to traditional sprawling ranch homes. Expect to spend around $128,000 for a 1,208 square foot home, and approximately $450,000 for a 4,000 square foot home. With so many choices, you are sure to find something you like. Land is also readily available in the area, and prices range depending on location and size.

Dense groves of pine trees, interspersed with dogwoods, azaleas and other flowering plants, dominate many of the area's handsome homesites. A variety of appealing architectural styles, and new and old homes, also border parks, lakes and golf courses, or are aligned along quiet city streets.

This region is filled with new industries that have moved in, because of the proximity of Raleigh. With a wide range of products including apparel and fabrics, electrical components, injection-molded plastic parts, office furniture, foods and more, employment prospects are good for a person in any trade.
