Kitts Creek you're talking about, right? (Brentwood has huge trees.)

Have you looked at any of the subdivisions in Holly Springs? I'm thinking of Sunset Oaks or Sunset Ridge due to the mention of children, pools, and activities. This area is really growing and with the eventual building of the bypass, along with the current building of the usual big box stores, it might be a good investment, too. I love it here and have found we are within 15 minutes of almost anything we need and everything is within 30 minutes or less.

Also our kids are very active in sports and other activities so a place where these things are close. We have visted the area many times and are familiar with them. We love bedford but not the yards.Wakefield but no sidewalks. Heritage is a little too far out. Cary Park is Also not a good location for us. Does anybody have any suggestions for ? We have also looked at Harrington grove, long lake, wyngate, Dominion park. Please help!

Southall is in Northeast Raleigh and has 550 homes, with sidewalks, lots of trees, pool, and tennis court. It is centrally located, close to Triangle Town Center, Mini-City, hwys 540, 440, 40, and 64.

HOA is $290/year.

We love it. There are a lot of nice subdivisions in Northeast Raleigh. Northeast Raleigh is not as expensive as North Raleigh. We only have single family homes--no townhomes or condos. Homes range on the smaller end from $140k to $200k to the larger end around $220-$300k.

I also like Heritage but if it's too far for you then you should consider North Raleigh or Northeast Raleigh.

Harrington Grove in Durham has very strict HOAs. They even count the leaves you have on the ground.

I really like Brentwood. I don't know why Brentwood's homes don't sell better.

I think Brentwood is going to be next boom. It's in a great location. It's right outside the beltline.

I recently saw a brandnew home built in Brentwood on MLS. I think it was a tear-down.

Some enterprising developer is going to figure this out and heavily invest (it looks like someone has already figured this out) in that neighborhood --and boom, Brentwood will be the place to move to again.

Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of houses for sale for a neighborhood this big in a down economy.

There are some, but not many.

So I guess people are finding out it's cool to live in Brentwood. Last month, one of the NBC national morning news shows did a story about a couple in Brentwood who publish romance novels customized with your own names. It was a fun story.

It's nice to see people who aren't house-poor and can spend their money on enjoying other things in life.
