Holly Springs, NC is a newer, but fast-growing, suburb of Raleigh, North Carolina. The 2020 census listed a population of just over 41,000 residents, which is almost a 70% increase from 2010. Along with Apex and Fuquay-Varina, this area south of Raleigh features big-city amenities in smaller communities that offer a slower pace of life.
For those home buyers also wanting distance from neighbors, a very private home, and lots of space to spread out, these communities are an excellent choice because although the population has increased, there is still inventory of the larger houses on larger lots that existed before the rapid development occurred.
Holly Springs’ Harris Lake features trails for both hiking and mountain biking, plus a boat launch, disc golf course, and picnic tables. Bass Lake provides another option for being outdoors with nature, featuring beautiful park trails with many native species of flora and fauna. And Holly Springs has its own amateur baseball team, the Salamanders, who play at Ting Park.
If shopping is more your speed, the Holly Springs Towne Center is an open-air shopping center that features major brands like Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Bed, Bath & Beyond, as well as an AMC movie theater that is “dine–in.” Many major restaurant chains are represented as well - you won’t have any trouble finding a taste for everyone in the family!
The Downtown Village District is Holly Springs’ main street area which features the Holly Springs Cultural Arts Center, a farmers’ market, and the Hunt Recreation Center which serves ages from preschool to seniors.
Private funds and public monies contributed to the growth of the Downtown Village District which currently has 60 businesses, and a co-working space, The Coworking Station, which houses about 20 businesses.
Sunset Ridge is a community with larger lots and along with its sister neighborhoods, Sunset Ridge North and Sunset Oaks, make up the most desirable area of Holly Springs.
Two miles west of downtown Holly Springs, Sunset Ridge is a master-planned community with access to the Sunset Swim and Racquet Club, which has four competition-sized pools, two waterslides, and six lighted tennis courts. Nearby, too, is Devil’s Ridge Golf Course, an 18-hole, par 72 golf course which has practice greens, a driving range, and chipping area.
Most of the houses in this community have 4+ bedrooms, with over 3,000 sq. feet. Homes on lots less than 1 acre can be found for around $500k, but if you want that extra space, you’re probably looking at starting around $650k. Now, the good news is that you’ll get more amenities for your money than comparably-priced homes in some Raleigh or Chapel Hill neighborhoods.
You may find a water view of Sunset Lake or a golf course view, and you can certainly expect bonus space, great outdoor living spaces, huge bedrooms, chef’s kitchens, and garages for multiple cars.
