Block scheduling in Wake County Public Schools is a new concept for many residents new to Cary NC and surrounding areas.
Let me clarify what block scheduling is and why we have block scheduling in Wake County Public Schools.
From a personal point of view, my two girls went through middle school and had one period a week on block scheduling. This allowed the student a chance to get used to the new schedule they would have in high school. In high school it was a bit of an adjustment, especially Freshman year, and especially first period. Like anything else the block scheduling in Wake County Public Schools is something they became accustomed to just like off-campus lunch. (That's a whole different blog.) In the end, the block scheduling prepared them for college and the time management associated with the longer classes. As a parent, I'm a fan of block scheduling in Wake County Public Schools
Wake County Public Schools offer a wide variety of educational opportunities from: traditional & year-round calendars, magnet programs, charter schools, and much more. Find out all you need to know about Wake County Public Schools when moving to Cary NC.

Finally, when considering a move you will want to know how much closing costs will add to your expenses and what to expect during a home inspection.Just a personal note, when I was out taking pictures of the front of Park Village I was stopped by the side of the road and turned on my flashers. A gentleman pulled over and asked if I needed any help. A few minutes later I was taking pictures of the walking trails and playground and spent 20 minutes talking to a resident about Park Village. That is why I love living in Cary NC...the sense of community!

Come join me today on my continuing tour of Cary NC when I visit Cary NC Carpenter Village homes for sale. I'm headed down Davis Drive toward the airport in the direction of Research Triangle Park (RTP). Just about on the Morrisville line, but still in Cary, I take a right on Morrisville Carpenter Rd. and there in one moment were greeted by the Carpenter Village entrance sign.
Cary NC Carpenter Village homes for sale is truly a unique concept. The premise is a village built around shops and amenities for all the residents to enjoy. The homes are snuggly tucked next to each other to create that neighborhood atmosphere. Front yards are the pride and joys of residents while most garages and driveways are located in the rear of the home. This gives Carpenter Village residents a reason to get out and walk and the opprotunity to meet the neighbors. Boy has it worked! Whenever I have the occasion to visit Carpenter Village folks are out and about. Today was a good example, runners, dog walkers, shoppers, etc. I even saw several signs advertising the Carpenter Village Halloween Costume Parade.

I assist families successfully buy and sell their dream homes in Cary NC
I have a unique perspective on the real estate market in the Cary NC area because I have lived most peoples experience.
In 1995, when Cary NC was truly a small town on the cusp of a population boom my family was part of a 700 family relocation from S. Florida with IBM. This was before the widespread use of the Internet, imagine that! We were sent here on a Thursday, scheduled for pick-up on Sunday and told to find a home. Panic doesn't begin to describe the feeling. We got through it and are one of the success stories. I took that experience with me as I became a Relocation Specialist in Real Estate.
