Fallon Park offers both historic and modern residential communities
Two miles north of downtown Raleigh, Fallon Park is a residential neighborhood and partial historic district known for its upscale suburban appeal paired with a convenient location. There are several distinct housing communities within the neighborhood that range from early 20th-century subdivisions to newer developments with modern townhomes. “Fallon Park is considered ‘inside the beltline,’ which is a common phrase people use around here," says Kathy Pitney, a local real estate agent with Keller Williams Elite Realty. She explains that the phrase essentially refers to any neighborhood within the Interstate 440 beltway looping through the northern metro. A portion of the neighborhood used to be part of the historic William Christmas plantation from the 19th century. In the early 1910s, development began on parcels of sold-off land and marked the beginnings of the Fallon Park community. Today, various housing options sit among abundant green spaces and offer the neighborhood an idyllic atmosphere. “You’ve got a lot of historic charm but also some nicer, modern amenities,” Pitney says.
Desirable homes from the early 20th century to the 2000s
In the older parts of Fallon Park, potential homebuyers can find a collage of early to mid-20th-century single-family homes that showcase Georgian-inspired, Craftsman and Colonial Revival architectural styles. These properties sit along tree-lined streets and boast sturdy brick facades complemented by eclectic decorative features. Also in this neighborhood are several newer townhouse communities with units that also feature Craftsman-style designs and stone builds. Depending on size, homes here can range anywhere from $800,000 to approximately $3.5 million, with a median single-family home price of about $1.3 million. Typically, homes priced under $1 million need substantial updating and, oftentimes, complete renovations. Depending on the community in which a property is located, residents here may be subject to additional HOA fees. On average, Fallon Park listings are sold after only 16 days on the market, which is a much shorter timeframe as compared to the national average of 46 days.
Attending Wake County Schools
Fallon Park is zoned for the Wake County Schools district, which receives an overall A rating from Niche and was ranked No. 4 on Niche’s “Best Schools Districts in North Carolina” list for 2025. Students here can attend Joyner Magnet Elementary, Oberlin Magnet Middle and Needham Broughton High School, all of which are rated A-minus. Despite the comparatively high rankings, however, potential homebuyers need to be aware that higher student populations can mean certain public schools are closed to new enrollment. “Wake County Public Schools can be challenging in the sense that the population is so big in this area and we only have so many schools, which can fill up and be capped, so then you have overflow schools,” Pitney says. “People don’t necessarily move into neighborhoods here because of zoning for a specific school – you can choose to do that, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll end up at that school if it’s full.”
Abundant outdoor recreation in and around Fallon Park
In the heart of the neighborhood, Fallon Park is a 10-acre strip of land encircled by an unpaved walking path and full of picnic areas with tables and benches. Pitney notes that the entire neighborhood itself lends itself to the outdoors: “You’ve got lots of sidewalks, a greenway going through the area, plenty of picnic areas and it’s a very dog-friendly neighborhood.” One greenway running through Fallon Park is the Crabtree Creek Trail, a paved pedestrian walkway that runs along its titular creek. The trail runs through Rothgeb Park, a nearly 7-acre outdoor space just north of the neighborhood that features open grassy areas for parkgoers. Also bordering the neighborhood to the east is the Kiwanis Park and Neighborhood Center, a community spot with indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, including athletic courts, program buildings and playgrounds. The nearby Carolina Country Club is a luxury private golf course established in 1910 that features an 18-hole championship course and a driving range, as well as a clubhouse and swimming pool.
Shopping and dining options along bordering streets
Shopping and dining areas border Fallon Park on all sides. Along the neighborhood’s western edge, residents can find an abundance of local boutiques and eateries branching off Glenwood Avenue. One popular restaurant in this area is the Bloomsburg Bistro, a French-inspired haunt with a seasonally rotating menu. East of the neighborhood, Wake Forest Road is a bustling thoroughfare lined with big box stores like Costco and Wegmans, chain fast-food restaurants and a collection automotive repair shops and car dealerships. Also just off this road, housed in an unassuming industrial building, is The Ritz, an iconic neon-lit music venue with multiple event spaces and a jam-packed concert calendar. Farther down the road is the Holly Park Shopping Mall, a massive commercial area with national retailers like Ulta Beauty, Ross and Staples.
Getting around the Raleigh metro
Fallon Park is only a couple of miles away from downtown Raleigh, which is a straight shot south on Glenwood Avenue bordering the western side of the neighborhood. Travelling north on Glenwood Avenue brings drivers to the merge with the Interstate 440 beltline, which loops around the northern Raleigh metro area and is one of the city’s main commuter thoroughfares. Public transit options in this area include the GORaleigh bus services. Duke Raleigh Hospital and its 24-hour emergency room is approximately 2 miles outside the neighborhood. The Raleigh-Durham International Airport is a 14-mile drive northwest.
