Best FREE WiFi Coffee and Bagels in Wake Forest
October 16th, 2008 Categories: Local Businesses, Wake Forest
Whenever I’m out and about in Wake Forest and need a place to grab a bite and use my laptop, Bruegger’s is the first place I think of. The staff is friendly, the food and coffee are great, and the WiFi works flawlessly. What more could you ask for?
The atmosphere is nice too. Clean tables, fresh decor… it just feels comfortable. And there’s plenty of inside and outside seating.
Bruegger’s is located in The Wakefield Commons shopping center near the Marquee Cinemas. It technically has a Raleigh address, but is located where most locals would consider to be Wake Forest.

Heritage Lake Road Open to 98 Bypass - Finally!
October 15th, 2008 Categories: Heritage, Wake Forest
Great news for anyone living in Heritage Wake Forest. The long awaited opening of Heritage Lake Road has finally happened. This new intersection is near the corner of Jones Dairy Road and the 98 Bypass and will cut some serious time off any trip out of Heritage going north.
Okay, well it will cut a few minutes off your trip. But hey, a few minutes is serious time when you’re in a hurry. It can also save some time getting in the neighborhood if you don’t want to mess with all the trafic on Main Street and Rogers Road.
Now if we can get the new shopping center on that corner with the Lowes Food and Ace Hardware open we’ll be all set!

Latest New Homes For Sale In Heritage Wake Forest
September 11th, 2008 Categories: Heritage, New Construction Homes, Wake Forest
I haven’t written about Heritage lately. Maybe that’s because I have been so busy getting settled in my brand new Heritage home! That’s right. In the midst of the so called housing slump, I chose to move. Mainly because there has never been a better time to buy a home in the Triangle area at such a great price. And mortgage rates are very low now too. It just made sense to me.
One of the benefits of living in Heritage is that I can get a first hand look at what life here is like. Let me just say that this is one of the best, most well thought out communities in the greater Raleigh area. It’s just northeast of Raleigh proper and is full of all the amenities you could ever want or need in a planned community. But that’s for another article.

I’ve sold in this neighborhood and showed homes here many times. My clients could not have been happier with their choice. The construction quality is very good and the floor plans feature all the things so many buyers are looking for these days, such as open living area, large master suites, and large gourmet kitchens.

Wake Forest Getting New Public Park | Joyner Park
January 7th, 2008 Categories: Wake Forest
Back in 2003 the town of Wake Forest purchased 117 acres of farm land on Harris Road, just west of downtown. Construction will begin early this year on what promises to be a unique destination for local residents.
The park is scheduled to an amphitheater, an outdoor performance space, and a garden area. The performance area will offer an intimate setting for poetry reading and small symphony groups while the amphitheater will have lawn seating for about 1,000 people. Plans for the amphitheater include concerts and possibly the home of the popular Six Sundays in Spring concert series.
The project also calls for the restoration of several existing farm buildings. There will be a stone wall and a log cabin on the grounds as well as three miles of walking trails.
The whole project will be done is several phases. Phase 1 is funded with $750,000 in grants and $3.5 million in bond money.

Heritage Wake Forest continues to grow with the addition of a 55+ age restricted community. This new community, called Heritage Spring, will offer 48 low maintenance homes right in the middle of all the wonderful amenities that make Heritage such a great place to own a home.
All homes will feature first floor master bedrooms and a two-car rear entry garage. Prices are in the mid to upper $200s. There are three basic models with three variations of each for a total of nine floor plans to choose from. Contact me if you would like a set of floor plans to review.
Because Heritage Springs is located within the neighborhood of Heritage Wake Forest, you will enjoy amenities such as a semi-private golf course, swim and tennis facilities, greenway trails, shopping, dining, banking, health care, pet care and more!

This really is a beautiful neighborhood. I live near Heritage myself and drive through the neighborhood a couple of times each day. It’s one of the best designed neighborhoods I’ve seen. It’s a place where you really feel like you want to be part of what’s going on… and there’s so much to do. Most of it within walking distance. If you want to stay active, this is THE place for you.
Right now there are three homes available in September and another six scheduled for completion in October. If you’ve got time to build, pre-sales are also available.
