Hi, does anyone have any information about Thornrose II in WF or actually live there? How would you rate it as a family oriented community? Low Crime, violence and drugs? How are the schools? TIA
I like the location of the neighborhood, it is close (less than 5 miles) from harris teeter grocery store, a couple of shops, (close to heritage). The elementary school for next year is rolesville elementary, the middle is wake forest rolesville and the high school is knightdale. They are building a new high school in 2009 called heritage high school but who knows which people will be designated to go there.
It is a lennar neighborhood which is a national production builder. I think lennar builds a nice home, but with production builders (although lennar says everything is included) you may end up paying for different upgrades.
I do like the location and the neighborhood though.
I know where it is at....don't know much about the nieghborhood though other then a few kids that go to school at Ligon ride my daughter's bus from there. I agree with what leighbhe mentions though.
I found a house there, it said the high school was wake-Roseville (sp.), is that not true and is it really Knightdale? How are the schools there, overcrowded, redistricting kids? Has anyone heard when all this redistricting and Year-around vs. traditional is going to end? I just heard from a realtor to stay away from wake counties schools b/c of all the problems they are having. I also heard that a family recently sued wcss b/c of these problems. My little girl needs some stability in her life, we have moved around 6 times in the last three years and I just don't want her bounced around from school to school year after year. Thanks.

The school for the 2007-2008 year is knightdale. The high schools are all traditional calendar and there is no plan to make them year round. You can check on the wake county public school website (Wake County Public School System) and plug the address into the student locater section and click on 2007/2008 school year.
If I were you I would also call the wcpss and ask about redistricting situation for high school students (for some reason I feel like they can only be redistricted before a certain grade in school), and I would call knightdale high school and ask them about their schedules, classes, etc and see if it would be a good fit for your daughter.

We looked at Thornrose but ended up buying in Dansforth which is the community next to Thornrose and connected via Song Sparrow drive. We take our dog for a walk around our neighborhood and also go through Thornrose. It seems like a very nice neighborhood and we love living in the area.
The Heritage shops (Harris Teeter, etc) are actually closer to our house then a lot of the houses IN Heritage. (We looked there, too, and I am anal-retentive so I measure all kinds of stuff like that.)
I think it is very low on the crime & violence and even the kids/teenagers in the neighborhood seem to be nice. I don't notice as many "rough" looking kids, houses or cars as compared to some other areas we looked at.
As far as the school question goes our house is registered to Rolesville Elementary, Wake Forest Middle and Wake Forest High for 07-08CY. (Per the Wake County Schools website referenced by the other poster.)
