My preference is Holly Springs. I recently had a client buy a home in Sunset Oaks, and is loving it. It is really pretty in that area, and just 10 minutes from Cary Crossroads, and not far from RTP. The builder I worked with out there was Timberland, and the home turned out beautiful. I would recommend this builder to anyone. I guess it would depend on where you are going to work first. If Cary/RTP then I say Holly Springs. Best of luck to you, and let me know if I can send you any info from any of those areas, or a specific builder.
Depends on when you go to work and go home. If you have flex time, then go in early and leave early. Or later, and leave later. it also depends on what you think is alot of traffic. Coming from NJ,NY,CA,and several other areas that the traffic is nuts. This really does seem like nothing. So like I say it all really depends. I used to work in Cary and live in North Raleigh, and I never really thought much of it.
I would have said Holly Springs a few weeks ago but after having shown Rolesville area to 2 different clients...I'm choosing Rolesville. Its up and growing and only takes 5 minutes to get back to Wake Forest. Vicki
I would say rolesville, but that is only because I live in wake forest now. We lived in cary (technically apex, near the intersection of ten ten and kildaire farm road...........about 3 miles from sunset oaks). So, my husband works at IBM, off of miami. He does have flex time - but my caveat to that is, let's say he does get into work at 7am, then he still cannot leave work "early" because everyone else is not working his schedule and based on his responsiblities he needs to meet with the people on his team.....meaning he is leaving work at 6pm or 7pm. So, that being said, he got tired of the hour commute going from our house to rtp, and often going back ways, etc.
We now live in wf, off of purnell road, and he goes back roads, never hits the interstate and is in his office in 30 minutes. For us, that was the deal maker.
My husband has worked at IBM since our first house in holly springs off of 55, the commute got bad from there, so we moved to ten ten and kildaire and we were there for 4 years, until our move last year. Our move was not because we didn't love our house, it was the commute. That was our choice, and for some it is not so bad, but for us it was reason to move. who knows if wake forest will end up this way, but it seems, right now, to be working.
I guess it depends on who you work for. My husband also works at IBM and gets to work at 7am, and leaves at 4. No traffic at all that way he says. Alot of people nowadays can also choose to do work from home. I know he said he would never work at RTP and live in Wake Forest. We have never tried that, but I know lots do, as per the trsffic. I think even though the commute and traffic may be a little hectic at times, what about where you live? I know some people that livein CT and commute over an hour everyday to NY city, because of how beautiful it is where they live. When you are at home, you have to love the area. My view anyway. I do love some parts of Wake Forest now. I am going out today to Bowling Green off 98, and have been to Bishops Grant, which I loved the area. I felt such a calmness about that area. Anyway to each his own is what I always said. Everyones opinion is what makeslife so interesting.
It depends on which one. Commute from Rollesville to RTP can be OK, probably the same from Holly Springs.
However if you want to commute to Cary then definitely you want to be in Holly Springs. I can get to Cary in 10 minutes from Holly Springs. From Rollesville would be a loooong trip.
This is all good input and keep it coming. Given the growth in the area (north Raleigh), I am sure, several folks coming in , will have the same question. Our current commute is 30 minutes to an hour. My wife is on Sabbatical as she chose to spend time with new born. She is planning to get back to work and for her background (Genetics) , we are thinking RTP /Durham is where she would find the job.

Thanks again,
Hi nc1relocating,
Depending on what price you'd like to spend on your new home, you may want to consider Morrisville. Its so close to RTP and there are so many new neighborhoods but its a bit pricey. Let me know if you'd like me to send you any listings. Thanks! Vicki
