Cozy and outdoorsy, with access to Raleigh

Located in the heart of Cary’s rapid growth and uptick in popularity, Weston is a cozy, tree-lined community that offers its residents an appealing blend of access, peace, and outdoor fun. Just minutes from all the excitement and amenities that Raleigh has to offer, Weston manages to feel farther out—and it’s this lifestyle that makes the area as popular as it is. “Cary has become one of the more popular suburbs in all of North Carolina,” says Scott Korbin, broker with Compass Commercial and longtime resident of the area. “People are really attracted to it because of just how lovely it is, and the fact you don’t have to give up the nice-to-have things of the city is even better.”

Classic established homes and lots of new construction

Weston homes are a nice reflection of Cary as a whole—plenty of established construction, with just as much new construction and even more on the way. As a result of this growth, it isn’t always easy finding homes. “The market is very competitive right now,” says Korbin. “People have been flocking here the past few years, so there isn’t always a lot of availability.” What homes are available in Weston tend to fall under modern contemporary designs, though some cozier, more vintage cottages can also be found. Large custom estates can be found on Bailey Ridge Drive, and newer homes with a Modern aesthetic are on Wilson Road. Along with these styles, townhouses are also plentiful in the neighborhood. Prices range from $300,000 to $1.4 million—with townhouses occupying the lower end of the scale, and more modern estates being towards the higher end. A single-family, 3-bedroom home typically ranges from $550,000 to $950,000.

Cary schools ace the test

Students in Weston begin their learning at Reedy Creek Elementary, before moving on to nearby Reedy Creek Middle and then finishing up at Cary High. Cary High School is known for its extracurricular activities and clubs that are aimed at career preparedness after graduation. According to Niche, each of the schools earned scores of A-minus—making them some of the highest rated schools in the area, and an appealing aspect of life in Weston. “The schools are very highly regarded,” says Korbin. “Enough so that you have people moving to Cary to have access to them.”

Lake Crabtree is perfect for a day on the lake

Lake Crabtree is just north of Weston, offering residents a daily excuse to get out and appreciate the area’s natural beauty. The waterside park area has over 500 acres of walking trails and offers boat rentals, allowing residents to spend a morning relaxing with some fishing. Crabtree Creek Nature Park is another scenic offering, featuring woods, wetlands, and a large multipurpose field. Sportier types can get their exercise in while playing at North Cary Park, which features a baseball diamond, basketball courts, a playground for younger residents, and even a climbing wall.
