Although the United States is regarded as a relatively young country, there are areas that are steeped in history. One such place is Wake County. Located in central North Carolina, this county is strongly tied to America's history. In terms of population, it is the second largest county in the state. This is largely due to metropolises like Cary and Raleigh, which serves as the county seat and state capital. All of these factors make Wake real estate worth checking out.
Before European expansion on the continent, Wake County was occupied by the Tuscarora people. As European settlers moved inland, the county was officially formed in 1771. Wake County's prominence was cemented when its preeminent city, Raleigh, was named capital in 1792. Wake County continued to be important during the Civil War. Given its position near both the North and the South, Wake County saw plenty of conflict. In particular, the Battle of Morrisville was fought in the area. This was the last major conflict between military leaders Major General William T. Sherman and General Joseph E. Johnston.
Although real estate in Wake has historical ties, it is still a modern county. For outdoor fun, Wake County has three state parks. The first is Falls Lake State Recreation Area. This park takes advantage of the lake and its surrounding areas, giving guests the chance to hike, bike and canoe. Another state park is William B. Umstead State Park. This park has been carefully developed with recreation in mind. Therefore, there are many trail systems that go through the woods, offering an exciting look at the local wildlife. The last one is Jordan Lake State Recreation Area. Most of this park features dense woodland, but it is often visited because it remains one of the best places to see bald eagles in their natural habitat. There are also many county parks and smaller city facilities to consider. This ensures that all Wake real estate is close to outdoor fun.
Real estate in Wake County is also positioned well for other types of activities. With major cities like Cary and Raleigh, there are venues for cultural exploration as well. In Raleigh, a favorite is the Hopscotch Music Festival. This three-day extravaganza is designed to feature musical acts of all sizes and styles. There are local favorites as well as national stars. Genres such as rock, metal, classical and more are all represented. There are also festivals for bluegrass music, food trucks, craft beers and more. Some events are oriented for family, and others are geared toward more adult interests. This sheer variety ensures that everyone will be satisfied with Wake real estate.
Many families are interested in real estate in Wake County. The Wake County Public School System serves all Wake real estate. This includes more than 155,000 students. The schools are spread across many towns, and there are nearly 30 high schools and more than 100 elementary schools. Residents also have access to nine charter schools. Additionally, private schools are available. Wake County also has various colleges and universities. In particular, students are drawn to real estate in Wake County thanks to North Carolina State University, Meredith College, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and more.
Given the diverse nature of the area, real estate in Wake County is eclectic. Some homes are connected to the colorful history of Wake County. Other properties are freshly built and feature the most modern amenities imaginable. This ensures that there is Wake real estate for all types of interested buyers.
