I like how this area is kinda "in the woods" if you know what I mean, most of the subdivisions are under the cover of trees. Lots are bigger, and it feels like suburbia meeting rural. Doesn't necessarily have to be in North Carolina, but can y'all think of similar areas?
In the Triangle area, I would also fit some of the subdivisions just inside Chatham County from Apex near Jordan Lake and Chapel Hill, although with Chatham Park, I'm not sure how long that area will keep a rural feel versus becoming a Cary 2.0.
In the Triad, I would have to say Summerfield, just northwest of Greensboro has that feeling.
In Charlotte, some of the municipalities that have been growing quickly in recent years, but still are low density, are in Union County (Marvin, Weddington, etc.).

By the way, is this question better for the NC forum than just the Triangle area?
It's such a specific area of the Triangle that I just put it on the Triangle forum, but I suppose it could also go on the NC forum.
In the Triangle, I would also include the areas north of Chapel Hill, west of Durham and South of Hillsborough (roughly north of I-40, south of I-85, and west of the Durham City limits west of 15-501 as the boundaries). Rolling hills and lots of leafy (literally) subdivisions with lots of trees.
It doesn't necessarily have to be suburban vs rural, either. I doubt Long Island looks like these areas (that comparison shows how many New Yorkers have moved down here, LOL).
I'm looking for similar areas, preferably in the South. Very wooded suburban areas that feel slightly rural, with barely any development that isn't subdivisions.
The area within the following boundaries
Tryon Road to the north
Kildaire Farm/Holly Springs/Sunset Lake to the west
Lake Wheeler to the East
401 to the south
I've been to some Richmond suburbs that felt similar, but that makes sense.
