If you’re interested in new construction homes in Cary, NC, you’re not alone! Like much of North Carolina, Cary is a fast-growing area - its population in 2010 was around 135,000, a jump of 43% from 2000. Today, the number of residents is right at 166,000. Why all the interest in Cary?
Several reasons affecting the growth in Cary are also true of much of the Triangle area - good jobs, good weather, good schools, relatively low crime rates. But Cary’s boundaries also stretch from downtown Raleigh-adjacent to I-540 in the west, so it cuts a wide swath through Wake County! With parts of Cary offering very easy access to both downtown and RTP, it’s no wonder that it’s a popular real estate choice for single family home buyers.
[Note: Some of the Wake County public schools in Cary are ‘capped,’ meaning that moving into a specific community is no guarantee that your children can attend the neighborhood school, so check that before you commit!]
This growth has not gone unnoticed by new home builders and new construction is booming in Cary, with some of the Triangle’s best-known custom home builders pulling out all the stops to meet the real estate demand.
We can help you find a wide variety of builders that feature many different floor plans. Whether you are searching the market for a townhome in the up-and-coming West Cary area or looking for a detached home with proximity to the community around Koka Booth Amphitheater, we have you covered!
We’ve got all the details about new communities in Cary, including availability and lot premiums. Remember, builders pay the buyer's realtor commission, so you don't have to worry about any extra costs if you’re buying into a new community.
Many floor plans in new home communities today are open concept with multiple bathrooms and bedrooms, large walk-in closets, custom chef's kitchens, and energy-efficient designs. Sales representatives from the various new home builder companies can help with design decisions such as quartz or granite countertops, different styles of cabinets and tile, and more. This is a great time to have a realtor because some interior finish selections are better for resale than others - let us advise you!
Here are some of the new construction neighborhoods in Cary, NC that feature new homes. We’re also giving you links to at least one new home builder in each community so you can visit their websites, get a look at the work they do, and see who a good fit might be to build your dream home.
