I work for an extraordinary custom home builder in the Raleigh area. You’ll find some delightful differences in our homes, with customized standard amenities that other builders call “upgrades” – including lavish trim, spacious nine foot ceilings, extensive tile and hardwood, sumptuous master suites, built in entertainment centers, butler’s pantries, intricate trey ceilings, elliptical archways, cove ceilings, abundant natural light, and much, much more.
Stanton Homes builds about 15 custom homes a year in the Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina region – which means we are able to give unparalleled attention to every detail. The team of master craftsmen at Stanton Homes takes pride in ensuring your home will delight you for a lifetime.
If you've always wanted a custom home on land of your own, check out our featured homes on acreage in beautiful Chatham County. Stanton Homes also builds homes on your lot or ours throughout the Triangle area, including Wake, Chatham, Orange, Durham, Harnett, Johnston, and Lee Counties.

We've worked with several investors, and there also seems to be strong interest in Morrisville, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, and Holly Springs. These are cities bordering Raleigh that people are interested in "trying out" before they buy a permanent home, and offer very easy commutes to many areas of Raleigh and RTP. Garner has a high rental population, but demands lower rental rates. - Earlier today
An area I don't see mentioned is Sanford/West Sanford or Lillington. Many military families choose either city because they are about halfway between Raleigh and Fort Bragg, so there is good access to both the medical and other facilities on the base as well as all the cultural and job opportunities that the Raleigh area has to offer. In this general area, you may also find larger lot sizes and a little lower home prices. Let us know what your general budget is, and I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions for specific neighborhoods to check out. - Mon Aug 18 2008, 03:33

If you want to be close to Chapel Hill, you may also want to consider areas off 15/501 in Chatham County, or even in nearby Alamance County - it all depends on the price point you're looking at and how much land you'd like.

I would say you'll probably see more wooded areas in Apex, Holly Springs, and Wake Forest than in Morrisville, but that's just from personal experience. Most of the Raleigh area is fairly heavily wooded. Of course the older townhome neighborhoods will most likely have a much better "green" feel than something brand new. - Thu Jul 24 2008, 14:14
For a suburb feel in a metropolitan area, I would second the Morrisville, Apex, and Holly Springs areas. You may also want to consider Wake Forest. It depends on what your priority is with "metropolitan" - each of these smaller towns has easy access to shopping, eating, and work in Raleigh, if that is where you end up finding a new extension to your career! There are many great townhome communities. I'd recommend looking at Haddon Hall in Apex - you can walk easily to at least 3 new shopping centers, and have great access to Hwy 64 and 55. Good luck, and welcome to the Triangle! - Thu Jul 24 2008, 13:42
It looks like this lot has roughly five sides, perhaps in something of a pentagon shape. You can ask the listing agent to give you a copy of the plat map, which will show you exactly how the lot is laid out, and the dimensions of each side. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 03:21
