Community strengths

• Attractive setting by the lake, which enhances aesthetic and outdoor experience
• Good distance to Wake Forest and moderate commute to Raleigh

Considerations

• Because it’s a new / not fully built-out community, lot availability and orientation matter - some lots may have less desirable views or constraints
• Be sure to check HOA / community fees, rules (particularly for age-restricted communities)
• Buyers should carefully compare base vs upgraded options
• Confirm whether all the promised amenities are completed or still in development
• For some, being 10-40 minutes from urban cores might feel remote, depending on how much one wants to access city services, entertainment, or medical facilities

Lot / Site Plan, Community Size & Structure

• The plan is to build about 138 total homes in the enclave.
• Lot sizes are typically in the ¼ to ⅓ acre range.
• Because it is gated with limited lots, it maintains a more intimate, close-knit feel (vs a sprawling development).
