A Snapshot of Wakefield 

Wondering What's Around?

Unbeatable location

Wakefield is located in both North Raleigh and Wake Forest, so you'll get the best of both the city and the suburbs. However, one of the biggest benefits of living in Wakefield is being right on the banks of Falls Lake, a 12,410 acre reservoir which features countless green spaces (like Forest Ridge Park), marinas, and hiking trails. 

Nearby shopping & dining

Want to live like a Raleigh local? Start by sampling the casual Italian fare at Milton's Pizza and Pasta or expand your palate at spots like Bangkok Thai or Mizu Sushi. And when you're ready to shop the day away, locals often recommend picking up essentials at Wakefield Commons or Plantation Point Shopping Center. If you travel a bit further, you can access larger retail hubs, including North Hills and Crabtree Valley Mall. 

Amazing schools

Children living in Wakefield are served by Public Schools, the largest and one of the highest rated districts in all of the Carolinas. In total, WCPSS educates 162,000 students across nearly 200 institutions, and they also offer a number of extracurriculars and specialty schools. Most students in Wakefield are zoned for Wakefield Elementary, Wakefield Middle, and Wakefield High School, but this could change depending on which neighborhood you call home.
