East Wake County

The booming eastern edge of Wake County along the US-64/I-87 and US-264 corridors, anchored by Knightdale, Wendell, and Zebulon. Wendell is among North Carolina's fastest-growing municipalities, fueled by relative affordability and improving connectivity as the Complete 540 toll road project nears completion. New subdivisions, proximity to eastern Raleigh employment, and easy access to the Neuse River greenway system define this corridor. Housing prices remain among the most accessible in Wake County.
