I would say that this is one of the most charming neighborhoods in Raleigh.  As a result, this planned community has received numerous awards and accolades from the National Association of Home Builders and others and is one of the reason this neighborhood has sold so well.  There really is something for everyone in this neighborhood where prices start in the low 200s and peak at over $1M.
