In March, 2015 Terramor Homes opened Emerald Woods in Wake Forest. If you are looking for a single family home in the low $300s in Wake Forest, North Carolina Emerald Woods might be the best option for you.
The location of the Emerald Woods neighborhood is just north of US-98 and Falls Lake. It is also west of US-1. The location is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Wake Forest but close enough to get to entertainment venues to be ideal. It is a short 10 minute drive into downtown Wake Forest, North Carolina but this part of Camp Kanata Rd is rather remote. In fact, most would be surprised that such a rural area is so close to downtown Wake Forest and the capital of downtown Raleigh.
If you have ever played Brevofield Golf Links or you know where Camp Kanata is you likely know where the Emerald Woods housing development is located. When turning on Camp Kanata Rd from US-98 the Emerald Woods housing community will be approximately five minutes up on the left. If you are coming in from US-1 you will take Purnell Rd west which will lead you directly to Camp Kanata Rd.
Another great feature of this location is the fact that US-98 or Durham Rd will lead you straight to US-70 and Interstate 85. Durham is less than 25 minutes from this particular location. Whether you work in RTP, Durham, Raleigh or Wake Forest this is a great location when seeking out affordable single family homes.

If you have children that are going to be attending elementary school, middle school or high school there are a few options available in the Wake Forest area. Wake County has some of the best teachers in America which makes it a great place to raise a family. Also, NC State, UNC and Duke University are less than a 45 minute drive from Emerald Woods in Wake Forest. If you have high school students that are going to be attending college in the next few years this part of North Carolina has a plethora of higher education opportunities.
Wake Forest is also home to one of the only public ice skating rinks in the entire Triangle area. If one of your children would like to join a travel ice hockey team there is a good chance they will practice and play at the Polar Ice House of Wake Forest. With hockey getting more and more popular in the Raleigh and Wake Forest area it is not unheard of for children to practice three and four times a week. If you do not want to drive an hour each way you may want to consider buying a home closer to where your son will practice several times a week and many months throughout the year.
Below is a map of the exact location of the Emerald Woods Neighborhood in relation to US-1 and US-98.
