My hubby has been there a year already he works in Wake Forest. I am moving to join him in 4 weeks so we are looking to rent. We are in our early 50’s and for the first time the kids are all grown up. I am A Brit, hubby from Rhode Island - quite a large Brit community in Cary, I didn’t really like wake forest . Hubby wants a house I would like a condo - we have been advised to look in North Hills and Cary . I like restaurants shops etc. are there any other area’s around Raleigh for single family homes that are nice - hubby would like no more than a 40 min commute.
He has a colleague who does the commute and said it works out to be 40 because of their work times so I will check again with him. Wake forest just seemed more rural and far out .

It IS a bit of a distance from Raleigh, but it has most big box shopping, some good restaurants, a cute downtown with some local shops, a brewpub, etc. Its considered a very desirable place to live.
Check out the Falls River & Bedford Communities off Durant Rd in N Raleigh.
Sorta in between Cary, Raleigh downtown & Wake Forest and a nice area.
Durant Nature Park, Falls Lake, Raleigh Greenway Trail & The Neuse River Trail are all close.
I personally would not want to live in Wake Forest because getting to Durham, Cary, Raleigh, 1-40 or just about anywhere would take forever, especially with the limited roads coming in & out of Wake Forest.
During rush hour traffic backs up bad on Capital Blvd.
In Raleigh if you find a central area to live the "things to do" within 15 to 20 minutes is extensive.
North Hills area is in my opinion crowded and over priced.
