Yes, you can actually find some homes in Cary, NC that are under $250K. One of my favorite developments I feel that is under rated and has great potential is the "Northwoods" subdivision. Most of the homes were built in the 1980's, so you have to watch for the masonite siding and the "poly" piping issues, but this area has much to offer. Just the location alone is worthy as it has a close proximity to the major thoroughfares (EZ commute to RTP, downtown Raleigh, RDU and let's not forget shopping). And it is considered one of the best areas to live in Wake County. Many of these homes are being updated and the owners are showing pride in their landscaping. it is nice to see people out walking their dogs and the children playing in the streets with each other. I've notice this trend over the last few years and wondered if I stumbled upon the best kept secret in Cary. These homes average three bedrooms, two-in-half baths, with a 2 car garage. Lots average .20 acres and have established vegetation. There are no home owner dues and you can join the local community pool. Most of these homes have a transitional feel that appeal to many.
