Wake County is a county found in North Carolina. With a population north of one million people, Wake County is the second most-populated county in NC. Raleigh, North Carolina's state capital, sits at the head of Wake County with encompassing cities such as Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary. and surrounding areas.
The region originated on the heels of the Research Triangle Park, anchored by the Triangle cities (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). Chapel Hill has long been regarded as the third point in the triangle as it was the third most populated city before Cary's population greatly surpassed it. Today, the estimated population of Wake County is just over one million with the Raleigh-Durham-Cary area coming in at over two million. The Raleigh-Cary Metro is just over 1.1 million.
Wake County is the 9th fastest growing county in the United States with the number of people relocating to the area, and number of jobs available. In 2018 the town of Cary, and the city of Raleigh were ranked the 8th and 15th fastest growing cities, respectively. The real estate found in these Wake County cities is some of the most affordable properties in the country, and with a strong local economy, it's easy to see why the area is growing so fast.
Downtown Raleigh has been the hub of Wake County real estate, both commercial and residential. The densely populated area has some great neighborhoods that attracts a lot of different folks to the city. Neighborhoods like Glenwood South, Mordecai, Cameron Village, Oakwood and Hayes Barton are some of the best area's to look at homes for sale in downtown Raleigh.
North Raleigh real estate has experienced some serious growth over the last couple of decades and has become a premier spot to live in the Raleigh, NC area. The North Raleigh area is one of the premier spots to live in Wake County with easy access to downtown Raleigh, Research Triangle Park, Durham, Cary, Apex, and more! The homes for sale in north Raleigh are priced in such a way that we feel is undervalued. Over the next handful of years experts predict the area to see somewhere between 18-22% appreciation.
Downtown Durham is another one of the premier spots for real estate in Wake County, NC. One of the fastest growing areas, and a bit of a well kept secret is Durham, NC! It's easy to forget about Durham sometimes (outside of college basketball season thanks to Duke) as it is overshadowed by Raleigh, and even sometimes Cary. The city of Durham is one of the coolest places I've been to, and the downtown area is awesome. Homes for sale in Durham are some of the best value in the Wake County area.
In 1771 from the outer parts of Cumberland County, Johnston County, and Orange County, Wake county was formed. The original courthouse in Wake County was built at a village originally called Wake Coutyhouse, now known as Bloomsbury. Wake County lost a little area to Franklin County in 1787 and Durham County in 1881 as well as 1911.
During the colonial period of North Carolina, the state capital of North Carolina was New Bern. During the Revolutionary War there was no state capital and the General Assembly would meet in various locations around NC. From 1789 to 1793 Fayetteville was the state capital until Raleigh became the permanent state capital in 1793.
Interesting story how the committee selected the area to build the state capital site...
Originally, the commission members favored land that was owned by Colonel John Hinton across the Neuse River went they were choosing a site to build the state capital. The night before the final vote took place, Joel Lane invited the committee to his home for an evening of food and spirits. The next day, the vote went in Lane's favor. A lot of speculation here as to why the vote swayed!
Lane named Wake County after Margaret Wake, the wife of Colonial William Tryon. Raleigh itself was named after Sir Walter Raleigh and established in 1792 on 1,000 acres that were purchased from Lane. Although Raleigh had never set foot in North Carolina he had sponsored the developments and therefore the city was named in his honor.
In the 19th century Wake County real estate really got going. Developments in the Wake County area became increasingly popular with the state capital being so close. Aside from the real estate in Wake County there was famous civil war battles that took place including the battle at Morrisville Station fought between April 13-15, 1865.
