My Notes:
If you're looking for a laid-back rural lifestyle but aren't ready to give up the amenities of the city, you may have just found a home. Just 20 minutes from all that Raleigh has to offer, you'll love the affordable prices, lakes and trails and wooded areas, not to mention the community pool and cabanas. Fuquay Varina is just five minutes away, and this burgeoning little town has all the shopping and restaurants you could want. M/I's green Eco-Series homes are the centerpiece with designs from 1,405 to 2,400 square feet. It's just off Route 55. Take a deep breath and come visit.
From Raleigh: Take 401 S to Fuquay-Varina. Turn left onto NC 55 East. Go 1.5 miles and turn left onto Jones Lake Road. Take 3rd left onto Apalachia Lakes Drive.
