Questions we get about Wakefield

Straight answers

What kind of homes are here?
Detached two-storey houses of 2,000–4,200 sq ft, plus townhome and patio-home villages of 1,400–2,000 sq ft.
Is there an HOA?
3 of the 3 homes we have listed here carry a monthly fee. What it covers varies — in townhome and condominium communities it often includes exterior maintenance, roof and water, which changes the comparison against a detached house more than most buyers expect. Always read the schedule and the reserve study.
How far is the commute?
About 15 miles to downtown Raleigh; 25 miles to RTP. I-540 access at Falls of Neuse.
Which schools would we be assigned?
Wakefield Elementary, Wakefield Middle and Wakefield High (Wake County Public School System). Assignment is set per address and is reassigned periodically, so confirm the current base assignment with the district before you rely on it.
