Location
Amberly is spread out along McCrimmon Parkway, Yates Store Road, and Carpenter Fire Station Road in northwest Cary. The majority of the development is in Wake County, but some neighborhoods do cross into Chatham County, so if the school system is important to you make sure to ask which county the home is located in. It is convenient to I-540 and NC-55, so the Triangle, north Raleigh, and Durham are all within an easy commute.
Things to do
Nearby is Thomas Brooks Park which has 4 lighted baseball diamonds, 2 basketball slabs, 2 soccer fields, a playground and picnic areas. Thomas Brooks Park is also home to the USA Baseball National Training Complex. There is plenty of shoping and restaurants at The Streets at Southpoint, a new mall on the south side of Durham that is only minutes away.
On the south side of Cary is the Koka Booth Amphitheater which runs events ranging from Shakespearian plays to classic rock concerts to hosting the Raleigh Symphony for a summer pops series. The Amphitheater is located in Regency Park and also hosts a huge 4th of July celebration every summer.
Within 10 to 15 minutes you can also go to the movies, go ice skating, roller skating, bowling, and visit numerous Cary Parks. If you open your drive up a bit you can spend an afternoon boating on Jordan Lake, enjoy the museums in downtown Raleigh, expand your education at one of the eight local colleges and universities, or attend a major sporting event at one of our three local ACC schools. And for hockey fans Raleigh is home to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Trends
The average price per square foot bounced around a bit over the last two years. This is partially due to the economy, and partially due to the timing of when expensive homes sell compared to when some of the more affordable homes have sold. Volume of sales spiked in the second quarter, after a particularly slow first quarter. You may be wondering why the sales volume seems so low for a subdivision built since 2005 that is so large. Good question. The numbers you see come from the Triangle MLS, and these are all the listings that were entered. Clearly during the boom years the builders didn't enter the majority of their homes in the MLS system.
