North Raleigh Homes For Sale - Bedford Still Going Strong
May 29th, 2008 Categories: Bedford, New Construction Homes, North Raleigh
The Bedford neighborhood in North Raleigh has been one huge success story. This neighborhood has won multiple awards for design and planning. Once you visit Bedford, you’ll understand why.
The neighborhood is full of tree lined streets, sidewalks on both sides of the street, parks and common areas, ponds, walking trails, a community center with swimming pools and tennis courts. There is even a four sided clock in an old fashioned town square. Just hang out for a bit and you will see kids playing in the parks, adults running and walking dogs. People stopping by a neighbor’s porch to chat for a while. Yes, the old fashioned community feeling is alive and well in Bedford.
And don’t fret if you have been on the fence waiting to buy a home in this great community. There are plenty of opportunities left and the neighborhood amenities just keep on getting better and better.
The latest phase of Bedford is now open and there are about 20 homes in inventory at any given time. This new phase is called the Wainwright Collection and features some of the area’s very best builders. Well known custom builders such as Houseman, Woodard, Tingen, CityScape, Rice, and Timberline are building some really great homes that will keep the Bedford building tradition going for a few more years.
The first phases of Bedford sold really well despite a common comment that the yard sizes were a bit on the small size. With a neighborhood design such as Bedford, with so much common area and walking trails and sidewalks, small lot sizes have worked much better that you might think. However, the developer has listened to the feedback and responded with larger lot sizes in the new phase.
Home sites are now 1/3 acre minimum with some cul-de-sac lots measuring even bigger. There are even basement lots available. Almost unheard of in the Raleigh real estate market.
There are some brand new neighborhood amenities on the way that will make Bedford an even more convenient place to live. A new commercial center is under construction near the clock tower. There will be a day care center, fitness center and an Italian restaurant for starters. Once these things take off, who knows what will be next.
Home prices for finished inventory range from $217,000 for townhomes to $700,000 for some incredible homes with tons of custom details.
