Raleigh Area Relocation – Highlighting Holly Springs, North Carolina

As you might guess, Holly Springs, North Carolina was named for freshwater springs that can still be found in the area as well as its huge holly trees.

It is a fast growing and progressive town that is located about 19 miles south of Raleigh, NC and has access to the Research Triangle Park via highway 55.

Holly Springs’ reasonable land prices coupled with its proximity to urban centers and its small-town feel continue to attract new residents and businesses. This can be seen by its population growth.  Holly Springs had a population of less than 1,000 in 1990 and by 2006, the population is approximately 17,500.

While the Town favors growth, the Holly Springs leadership is determined to control the quality and placement of new developments while preserving open space and creating public areas. A recent focus has been on commercial development in downtown Holly Springs.

Holly Springs, NC community life is highlighted by a number of annual events. One of these is the HollyFest celebration on the last Saturday in October. Festivities include free children’s rides, music, food, arts and crafts, a 5-K race, and fireworks. Other community events include the Kiwanis Club Haunted Schoolhouse which is also in October, the Happy Holly Days Parade in December and a festive Main Street Christmas parade.

With great schools (Wake County) and a dedication to keeping its family-centered feel, Holly Springs, North Carolina is a great place to live.
