Choose a new home in one of America's fastest-growing areas

Wake County buyers may have more homes to choose from than they did a year ago — more than 20% more, per Triangle MLS data — but affordability is still doing the math for most, with the median home price climbing closer and closer to $500,000.

Why it's important: For many renters, first-time buyers and growing families, more inventory doesn't necessarily translate to an easier path to new home ownership near Raleigh.

That's the gap Wendell Springs fills.

Here's the deal: The new True Homes community in Wendell offers semi-custom single-family homes starting in the low $400s.

That price point puts new construction within reach for buyers who want access to Triangle job hubs, daily conveniences and nearby destinations like Raleigh, Wake Forest and Knightdale.

The landscape: Wendell's population has doubled since 2020, and its growth rate of over 16% makes it among the fastest-growing municipalities in the country.

• That growth is drawing more attention to eastern Wake County, where buyers can still find a slower pace and great value without making massive tradeoffs.

Even better: True Home's semi-custom model offers multiple floor plans and personalization options so buyers can choose and build a layout that fits how they actually live.

Some examples:

• 🖥️ Swap your corner desk for a dedicated home office and get some work-life separation.
• 🍽️ Take advantage of open-concept kitchens built for weeknight dinners and weekend hosting alike.

• 🛏️ Choose a layout with extra bedrooms that can flex as kids grow, guests visit or routines change.

Here's what else: The community is designed for daily life beyond the front door, with larger homesites and resort-style amenities that create more room for everyday routines, neighborhood connections and low-key downtime close to home.

• 👀 Watch out for a resort-style pool, a modern clubhouse, pickleball courts, soccer fields and more.

The takeaway: Wendell Springs is giving buyers a way to trade some of Raleigh's price pressure for more room with a new home in a community that's growing with the rest of eastern Wake County.
