Hi, I am looking to get a recent pros and cons list from residents of Fuquay Varina. We are up in NW Raleigh. We are checking out the surrounding areas.
Thank you
I have lived in Fuquay for almost a year. Before that i have lived in Raleigh near the PNC arena, South Raleigh near the 40/42 area and in Cary off High House road amongst other places around the Lake Boone area. I personally love the Fuquay area. The neighborhood we live in has been awesome. The pros for me are two separate downtown's that are really cool. I personally like them better than the other towns downtowns. We have local brew pubs, good grocery store options, a Home Depot and Tractor Supply and when i need a shopping fix i head up to Crossroads or HS which has Marshalls and Pier1. I can also leave my house and be in a nice country setting in less than five minutes. To go to any store, doctor is 5-10 m ins max.
A couple of cons be that we are a little further out and traffic is picking up. I work in RTP and it takes about 45mins. I usually go 540 or if i head in later in the morning i will take the scenic route up Lake Wheerler. The nearest Emergency Room is in Apex or Raleigh. Another con would be not a huge variety of shopping/restaurants. We have some good local ones but nothing compared to Cary/Raleigh area. Feel free to ask my any other questions.

Thank you! If I think of more questions, I will contact you. You covered most of them. I appreciate your time.
I am finding a lot of rentals in Holly Springs too. Hmmmm I just dont want to end up being too far away from things like a town center like we are here.
I have lived in Fuquay-Varina since June of last year. I moved here from Texas. I enjoy living here. There is virtually no traffic (from a Texan's point of view I guess), the neighborhoods are mainly cookie cutter as there has been a lot of growth here in the past few years. I have 7 grocery stores within 8 minutes of my house which is pretty amazing. I live off of 55 north of Fuquay (almost to Holly Springs)...
I have a thai place that I love, there is a great sushi place in Cary that I go to. I shop at Harris Teeter which is open 24 hours a day (the one in Holly Springs). There is a ton of business going in off of 55. Downtown Fuquay is pretty awesome (at least the Aviator side)...hmm trying to think of anything else...My girlfriend works in Garner and it takes her about 30 minutes to get to work in the mornings...it's about 25 minutes to south Raleigh depending on how you get there (and there are a ton of ways to get there. You have 55 to 1, 401, Lake Wheeler rd, etc ,etc.

Thank you. We are going to view a rental off of Lake Wheeler Rd. I havent spent much time in that area so will go investigate tomorrow.
Sounds like you are adapting quite well here. Thanks for your time.
