Unfortunately the only way you can ban kids is over-55 communities.

There is a road in Raleigh called "Rue Sans Famiile" ("Street without family") that was built back in the late 1970s as a child-free neighborhood/street, and it has townhomes. The law requiring such places to only be 55+ came along after that, and "Street without Family" had to allow families....but still, I would suspect that people with kids might avoid living on such a street, especially if they knew it was originally created for that purpose. At very least, I think the number of kids/buses would be less than a similar neighborhood somewhere else.

Maybe you're confusing it with Regency at BCCC that IS in Raleigh, but in Durham County, but only the ranch home section. Legally speaking, Regency is not age restricted. And we have our grass mowed every 1-2 weeks.
Whoops.
Yup.
My bad.

Even if a bus can't physically get in the community, they will just pick the kids up on the street.

I have friends who have lived on that street for years and love it.

There are VERY few kids on that one. Mostly because the homes are designed for couples and singles, not so much for families.

I don't think a school bus can go on a private road. Not sure how many private roads are in the area, but take a look.

Nah. I just deal with the constant aggravation of living in the City of Raleigh, Durham County. Which is primarily reflected by the fact that all of BCCC is getting Google Fiber, except for the 122 Regency Ranch Homes (because we're in Durham County). Which sucks.

OTOH, we don't have school buses. . .

I suspect OP's complaint is with neighborhood kids in general, not just the twice a day that school buses come by.

I agree, Francois. I don't know the ages of the OP, but some 55+ do accept younger folks. And looking for properties that are in crummy school districts, are in downtown areas, or don't have floor plans that accommodate families is going to be the only other solution. But even then, not a guarantee.
