research triangle park: Morrisville, NC: Vacant land is a rare commodity. Find it here! - 06/03/09 02:40 PM
Morrisville is a hot spot of activity, with a great location between Cary, Raleigh, RDU International Airport, and the Research Triangle Park.
Many residents live in Morrisville due to the easy commute to RTP.  Sometimes it is a compromise for a two-income household.  One person commutes to RTP, and the other may have an easy drive to employment centers in Cary, Raleigh, Durham, or Chapel Hill.
With the extension of the freeway, NC 540 connecting West Cary and North Raleigh as it passes through Morrisville, the small town has become an easy jumping off point for many Triangle attractions.

research triangle park: Cary NC Real Estate, Trees, Trees, and more Trees in our neighborhoods! - 07/05/07 01:20 AM
People decry the removal of trees from parcels of land that are being developed for new homes.  Too often, they are all too accurate. 
The pressure in the Wake County, North Carolina to develop all land within a reasonable distance from Cary or Raleigh or the Research Triangle Park has pressed builders and developers to offer smaller and smaller lots.  But Buyers are demanding larger homes.  Those 6,000 square foot homes on 1/5 acre lots leave precious little room for most species of desirable large shade trees.
I fear that we will never see homeowners planting and nurturing willow oaks to their full … (4 comments)
