About
Farther away from Fort Bragg you’ll discover some of the hidden gems of the rural Piedmont region. Fuquay Varina is one of those finds. The homegrown feel and small businesses in this quaint downtown even make it worth a day trip from other areas. It’s positioned roughly halfway between Fort Bragg and Raleigh, making it attractive for spouses interested in working or going to school in the Raleigh/Durham area. The town itself is compact with the barest of amenities, but you’ll love how everything about it screams “mom and pop.”
Neighbors
This is small town southern living at its core and people here value the quiet, laid back, “front porch” living lifestyle. The people here are hospitable, welcoming, and neighborly. There are quite a few military families that settle down here — usually for the proximity to Raleigh.
Neighborhood Feel
The homes in newer neighborhoods (1990’s-to-today) are spacious and on large lots. Subdivisions are widely dispersed and have a rural feel. On a scenic drive through the country, you’ll happen upon a single-street development with 10 or so houses, then drive through another 10 minutes of country before seeing the next subdivision. There’s a historic district with older homes, but the inventory is pretty low so most sales concentrate on the area’s newer construction. Whether you opt for old or new, you’ll definitely need to purchase some new cushions for the front porch rocking chairs.
