CITY
THE HONEST TAKE
Living in Downtown Wake Forest
The blocks around White Street are Wake Forest's original neighborhood - 1890s-1940s cottages and mill homes within a stroll of the farmers market, breweries, and Friday Night on White. The historic district designation protects the charm that's driving the prices.
GOOD TO KNOW ·
Renovated historic homes here sell at new-construction prices - the unrenovated ones are the opportunity, if you have the appetite.
SCHOOLS
Wake Forest High zone with a historic elementary in walking distance; Southeastern seminary's campus adds green space and events.
THINGS TO DO
The farmers market, Friday Night on White concerts, six annual street festivals, and the historic district walking tour that starts at your porch.
FOOD & DRINK
White Street itself: brewery taprooms, Black & White coffee, Sugar Magnolia's café, and Shorty's famous hot dogs since 1916.
