Fuquay-Varina
Two former railroad villages that merged into one town, so there are two small historic centres and a wide belt of subdivisions built since 2000 between and around them.
- Housing stock Detached two-storeys of 1,700–3,400 sq ft in the newer subdivisions; early-1900s wood-frame houses of 1,100–2,000 sq ft near the two downtown cores.
- Typical lot 0.16–0.45 acre; larger on the rural edges
- Getting about About 22 miles to downtown Raleigh via US-401; roughly 25 miles to RTP.
Assigned schools
These are the base schools currently assigned to this address by Wake County Public School System. We list assignment as a fact and nothing more — we do not rate, rank or compare schools, and no one at Homestead will, because doing so is how housing discrimination happens in practice. Judge them yourself.

Under 20% down, so private mortgage insurance is included at an estimated 0.55% of the loan a year. On a conventional loan it comes off automatically once you reach 78% loan-to-value, and you can usually request removal at 80%. On most FHA loans it stays for the life of the loan.
Over the full term you would pay about $624,355 in interest, assuming you never pay extra and never refinance.
Estimates only. Actual rates depend on credit, loan type and the day. Wake County property tax is reassessed on a four-year cycle, so a recent revaluation can move the tax line. Talk to a lender for a real quote — we can introduce you to three.
