About Cary's Giverny

Yes.  We have deer in Giverny.  This one happened to be a large doe.  I popped home to get a folder, and saw her as I was driving back out.

She was a large doe, made me wonder if she is carrying a fawn, although it seems late in the year for that.  I caught her with the phone in my new Evo.  (Side note:  Uploading photos to Flickr from the Evo is just fantastic!  I might need a tripod for my phone.)

After the last shot, she started through the trees, to cross the street in front of me.  I moved the phone, and that moved the shutter button on the touch screen.  And by the time I located the shutter button, I got a photo of an empty street.

Giverny is a neighborhood of typical 1990's tract lots.  Starting at about 1/4 acre, with about 1/3 acre average, they run as large as .7 acres.

But, the wooded areas around the neighborhood offer cover and habitat for deer, and every now and then we are lucky enough to spot one.  That was yesterday for me.

Giverny is a pleasant and mature Cary, NC, neighborhood of 92 homes off the SW Cary Parkway.

Giverny is nestled in between Bishop's Gate subdivision and Gralyn neighborhood of MacArthur Park. Access to the neighborhood is through Gralyn or Bishop's Gate.

Raleigh, NC, and

North Carolina State University are within a 25 minute commute. The Research Triangle Park, "RTP," is about the same. Both commutes can vary during heavy drive-time traffic.

The neighborhood was developed in the early/mid 1990's by New Fortis Homes, now KHovnanian. Ninety-two pleasant transitional homes comprise Giverny, with home sizes ranging from 2000 to 3400 square feet.

Homes' features include two story family rooms, 3 to 5 bedrooms, 2.5 or 3 baths, formal areas, walls of windows to light the home, .25 to .4 acre lots, 2 car garages, dual-zone HVAC with natural gas heat, and a quiet cul-de-sac street arrangement. Kids ride bikes and play in the quiet streets.

School assignments are among some of the region's top schools, and are subject to change by Wake County Public Schools. More information on Wake County Public Schools.

Giverny does not have a Homeowners Association. There are no HOA dues.

Recent home sales fall in the $260,000-$400,000 range. Property taxes are approximately 0.86% of the property's assessed Tax Value. More information on Wake County property taxes.

These attributes and a great location tucked off main thoroughfares combine to make Giverny truly Cary's "Best Kept Secret."
