I don't know the area well enough to tell you exactly where it is but there was a big development in Apex, which I seem to remember being right near the town. Old Mill Village Drive perhaps? If you look at it from the satellite map view, you'll see what I mean.

Like Norasmom posted, the houses in CP all have varying color schemes and slight difference, but even with the landscaping grown in it's scary.

UGH lol
I grew up in Levittown NY where, for the ones who don't know, there were only 2 types of homes built, all during the same time, in mass developments on lots less than a 1/4 acre. It was normal to me as a kid. A novelty even.
Now, I want to avoid that at all costs. These photos make me feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable. This is one of the reasons we're focusing on North Raleigh. I know there are developments there too but we're looking for space and diversity in housing.
I'm reminded of this old song, I first heard it when I used to watch Weeds and it always made me chuckle:
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,1
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
