The property offers road frontage and access to city water and sewer with sewer infrastructure already in place, making it an attractive candidate for residential development. Lot 2 Hillcrest Circle is zoned RHD (Residential High Density), while 515 Central Street is zoned RLL (Residential Large Lot), providing flexibility for future planning and development. Can be purchased with 7.07 acre parcel that adjoins these parcels, for almost 13 acres to develop! Contact LA for details. These parcels are ideally situated just off Main Street, the property enjoys convenient access to Downtown Clayton's restaurants, shops, entertainment, and amenities, as well as Business Highway 70 for easy commuting throughout the Triangle region. Rarely does a development tract of this size and location become available within Clayton's thriving downtown area. Builders and developers should explore the potential for a high-demand residential community in one of Johnston County's fastest-growing markets.
