on today's video we're going to talk about the last Frontiers these are the last few areas in
Wake County where Raleigh North Carolina is where you can expect to find decent amount of land
new construction and great opportunities hello everyone this is Chris Morton Real Estate broker
with the Morton Bradbury Real Estate Group without further Ado let's get at it [Music]
the areas of Wake County we're talking about are three cities on the Eastern side of the
County as well as the area in the southern part of Wake County so these used to be really sleepy
little areas boring not a whole lot going on but as more and more people are coming into
our area again the triangle in Raleigh area is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas
in all of the country so as more and more people come in they got to live somewhere so these towns
are getting a lot of attention hopefully going into detail they're going to be a good fit for
you one of the things that's really driving a lot of the growth here in these areas is the
fact that 540 is either here or is coming soon to these areas we'll talk more about 5 40 later in
this video and what its impact has been and what its impact will be but let's go ahead and get at
the first city which is Knightdale North Carolina Knightdale currently has a population of around 19
000 people it is one of the fastest growing cities in North Carolina if not the United States
median home price is currently in Knightdale are somewhere in the range of 485 thousand dollars
with a price range of around 280 000 all the way up to about 1.1 million so quite the range and
diversity of of housing in Knightdale you can get town home you can get a single family home
obviously you can get a high-end estate home as well in Knightdale the location as we said
at the top of the video is in the eastern part of the state it's about eight miles from Knightdale
to downtown Raleigh to give you kind of a frame of reference interesting facts about Knightdale
it has one of the youngest populations in the area very dynamically growing city lots of big
box retailers as well as Mom and Pop retailers in this area Knightdale was well well known for Prime
barbecue at least it's well known with anyone that has ever met me because I bestow the virtues of
awesome Barbecue on Prime barbecue in Knightdale highly recommended Crafton Food Hall is also in
Knightdale it's a really cool concept of twist on the Whole Food Hall concept where instead of you
getting in a line and ordering the food you want you set at a table and either mobile order or use
one of the servers to order from any of the four or five different food vendors that are in craft
and food Hall very very cool experience we've been there quite a few times definitely something
we recommend for you and Beyond these restaurant things to do there's also plenty of outdoor stuff
like Knightdale station there's a farmer's market that goes on a good bit of the year it's got a
really really nice feel to it the downtown of Knightdale is a little lacking but it's definitely
coming up and growing this is where Prime barbecue is so definitely that is kind of driving a lot of
growth in that area and you're gonna see I think a lot of things going on in downtown Knightdale
really really soon next up we have the city of Wendell North Carolina population 14 000 people
give or take median home prices currently sitting around 460 thousand dollars with a range of about
two hundred twenty thousand all the way up to nine hundred and ninety five thousand dollars location
of window pretty much right beside Knightdale so again eastern part of the county and again very
very close to Knightdale in fact a lot of people from Wendell go to Knightdale to do their shopping
details about window it has an amazing downtown great area where you can go to a brewery Wine Shop
bakery ice cream parlor go shopping restaurants all kinds of stuff are in downtown window it's
definitely got an amazing downtown especially considering its size the other important fact
about window you need to know about a lot of the growth and a lot of what's happening in Wendell
is caused by the mega neighborhood of Window Falls this is one of my favorite neighborhoods
in the entire triangle sitting on 1100 Acres eventually there'll be about 3 500 or so homes
in this neighborhood and it's everything from town homes to single family homes to the recently
released 55 plus Community that's right there beside Window Falls this area has everything
for everybody it's really amazing and there's now retail coming right inside the complex anchored
by a Publix grocery store there's going to be a Starbucks there Bojangles medical Early Learning
Center all kinds of stuff going on right there in Window Falls and by the way another fun fact about
Windell over 45 percent of the homes being sold currently in Wendell are new construction next up
we have Zebulon North Carolina with a population somewhere in the neighborhood of 9 000 people
median home price in window is around 388 thousand dollars with a range between 160 000 and 900 000
zebulun is the easternmost City in Wake County but it's still only about 25 minutes from Raleigh so
it is very very possible to live in zebulun and work somewhere in Raleigh details about Zebulon
this is truly small town America there's a really great downtown area and the whole town itself is
literally Mayberry for all the Andy Griffith fans out there very very small very very quaint great
place to to live and raise your family and grow up and all that sort of thing as you can imagine lots
of availability for land here things are just getting cooking and lots of growth is going on
in Zebula the big claim to fame of zebulun is the Carolina Mudcats which is a minor league baseball
team plays at Five County Stadium in zebulun beyond that if you're a nature lover I recommend
Zebulon Community Park where there's walking trails ball fields picnic area basketball courts
and much much more wake techs Eastern education center is in Zebulon and if you're hungry McLean's
Old Time Cafe is in Zebulon they've been around since 1956 cooking up really good country cooking
definitely very well acclaimed highly acclaimed definitely a place we recommend you go check out
as well as long as you have a full stomach we recommend you go to Old Raleigh distillery in
Zebulon where they make small batch Bourbons we hear it's amazing we definitely want to go try
it out very very soon ourselves so if you've been please put in the comments below your experience
we'd love to hear more about it so really when you think about these three cities Knightdale
Wendell and Zebulon what you have going for you is a lot of new construction is going on we've
kind of touched on that in this video already if you're looking for larger Lots new construction
these are definitely some areas you want to go consider the fourth area we want to talk to you
about on this video is South Raleigh now South Raleigh is a bit of a misnomer it's not actually
in the Raleigh City Limits it's down south of the city in an unincorporated part of the county you
will know its location by the ZIP code it's 27603 is the ZIP code here for this area very Big Lots
you can expect commonly to see lots anywhere between a quarter of an acre all the way up to
over two acres so if you're looking for a good bit of land this is definitely an area you want
to check out we've had a client who is closing on a home tomorrow in South Raleigh as an investment
property for herself she lives about five minutes away in South Raleigh and just absolutely loves
the area adores the area she comes to us from Orange County California so definitely a big
culture shock I would guess but she thinks it's amazing I agree with her it's very amazing it's
nice and quiet she knows her neighbors she's enjoying life out there definitely a great great
area median home price for homes out in this South Raleigh area are around 550 000 with a
price range of houses going from about two hundred thousand dollars to over a million dollars this
area gives you some really really great access to downtown Raleigh and carry and Garner because
it is so terribly close to all those areas so you can go and shop or eat or have fun in any of those
areas but because you're in the county you're paying County taxes and your cost of living is
much less than it's going to be in those other areas so as we said earlier Interstate 540 is a
really big big deal and it's going to pretty much change everything about the cities we talked about
in this video currently i-540 stretches from Holly Springs all the way around to Knightdale
by Spring of 2024 a portion going from Holly Springs over in the direction of Knightdale
is scheduled to be completed with the entire Loop due to be done by 2027. we're keeping our fingers
crossed this will mean Interstate 540 is a circle around the entire pretty much around the entire
County making it very very easy for everyone in all of these four areas to jump off and go to
anywhere else in the Triangle for the longest time if you worked in Apex or Holly Springs or
parts of carry you would definitely not want to live in Knightdale it would be just too long of
a drive but when that bottom portion of 540 opens up and is completed you can get from Knightdale to
Holly Springs Apex really really quickly making it completely a possibility so if you're considering
