5 Things that Make a Neighborhood Truly Great

When you buy a new home in Wake Forest, you are not just choosing a house; you’re choosing a neighborhood too! As important as it is to find the perfect home for you and your family, the best house in the world won’t feel so great for long if it isn’t in a good neighborhood. Instinctively you know this, but you may not have thought about what really makes a neighborhood one you want to live in. While everyone is going to have a slightly different list, this is one we feel everyone can agree on:

#1 Beautiful homes

Let’s begin in the most natural place- with the houses themselves. A great neighborhood has great houses. This just makes sense! In Holding Village, our homes are designed and crafted by some of the Wake Forest area’s top builders, including Drees Homes, John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods, and Ashton Woods. We currently have some Drees Homes options still available, so your home will be gorgeous and you can walk or drive past homes in other phases that look just as fabulous.

#2 Green space

You don’t have to live in an area with all buildings and concrete. You can go to New York City for that! You live in Wake Forest because it is gorgeous, and you want a neighborhood that exemplifies this. If you take a look at our community map, something will immediately jump out at you: a lot of nature! We have parks, water, and green space throughout the neighborhood.

#3 Great neighbors

Your house is only as great as the neighborhood it’s in, and your neighborhood is only as great as your neighbors. Loud, rude, or messy neighbors will ruin your dream home quickly. We encourage you to take a drive or a stroll through Holding Village. You’ll see a lot of smiling faces and even get a few waves. The people here are friendly and considerate.

#4 Convenient location

The best neighborhood won’t feel that way for long when you’re sitting in traffic for an hour on your way to work. You need a community that is convenient for your daily tasks, like shopping, commuting to the office, going to the doctor, finding a gym, and more. Holding Village is close to top schools, healthcare, parks, shopping, dinning, and more.

#5 In-neighborhood amenities

Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t need to actually leave the neighborhood to do the activities you like? This is why Holding Village has a large community pool, a lake you can fish in, nature trails, a dog park, and more. You may never want to go anywhere else!

What do you think? If there anything you would add? We want to hear about it, and we want to show you Holding Village as well. You don’t have much more time! Phase 3 is almost sold out. With only a few remaining homes left from esteemed builder Drees Homes, this is your last chance to be part of this family-friendly, top of the line, Wake Forest community.
