The Village at Umstead Park (also known as Umstead Village) is located in Northwest Raleigh, less than 1/4 mile from Highway 70.
This town home community is in an ideal location, as it is easily accessible to major highways including I-540, I-440, I-40, and I-85 - as well as within minutes from Raleigh Durham (RDU) Airport
It is also approximately 3 miles from shopping at Brier Creek Commons and less than 5 miles from Crabtree Valley Mall.
Within a mile (across Highway 70 behind the CarMax), there is a Lowe's Food store, Ben's Place, Tony's Pizza, Jumbo China, Lotus Nails Spa, Salon Se Swa, Planet Fitness, and a Soho Hero, for those who may work from home - or have business needs, such as logo design, business cards, shipping/packaging, or mailbox rental.
In addition, Umstead Village is located near "Furniture Row"- which Penny Hull of Stanton Homes recently posted in her blog.
This community screams convenience!
Built in the late 1990s, Umstead Village consists of approximately 75 town homes, each with a 1-car garage. Sizes range from approximately 1500 to more than 2000 square feet. Sales since September 2007 have ranged from $183,000 to $214,500.
The community has Homeowner Association (HOA) dues, which cover the grounds, exterior maintenance of the town home (excluding the deck and front door/porch area) - and a swimming pool!
