Sunset Forest off Purfoy Rd (Lintel Rd, Stonemason Rd)? (for sale, houses)

[HoppyTheToad]

I'm interested in a house in this neighborhood. Are there many families with children? I have two young boys and want to know if this is a safe, family-friendly neighborhood.

It is a first time buyer haven in there, lots of young families. A fair amount of turnover too though, at any given time there is 10% of the subdivision for sale. A fair amount are those are just families looking for bigger houses, a few here and there went back "home."

Be careful of the obvious - those empty acreages all around? They will be for sale one day. Just because he's planting peanuts or cotton or tobacco or soybeans today doesn't mean he won't sell one day. That entire tract of land, both sides, belonged to the woman who owns the land behind on the strip that buffers Honeycutt across from the Goddard School. She has been trying to sell that parcel for at least 3 years. Purfoy has a large something (subdivision?) going up down at the crossroad of Holland past Tyco. Purfoy itself is designated to be widened (according to Fuquay's planning map) to the size of 55 with a treed median in the middle one day - 2 lanes in either direction. Don't know if that has changed recently.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Happy househunting.

Oh and Academy St. down the center of that sub is designated to cut through one day and connect over between the post office and the church so it will be a thru-way for traffic trying to avoid 401. That's why it dead ends into the woods. Google Earth it - you'll see the street will connect one day. The land behind that dead end street that just drifts off to nowhere used to be designated a "preserve" or something really funny...horticultural preserve, that's it. Now it is for sale too.

Thanks, your info was very helpful. I figured the fields nearby would one day grow houses or stores, but I wouldn't have thought to look to see if Purfoy Rd was going to be widened.
