Holly Springs is a progressive Town dedicated to keeping its family-centered feel. Conveniently located in southern Wake County, Holly Springs is situated right next to Apex and is a short drive from the state capital.

A name like Holly Springs was hatched form a place, where 40-foot holly trees towered over freshwater springs. Some of the local centuries-old springs feed creeks and ponds to this day. Ever increasing growth in and around Raleigh, has made Holly Springs a new destination for home owners seeking to maximize their real estate dollars potential. Although mostly rural, Holly Springs is growing rapidly and is a short drive to Apex and Cary shopping and restaurants.

Holly Springs enjoys mild year-round climate that still provides four distinct seasons; a lush, rolling landscape tailor made for everything from agriculture to golf; plentiful water and blue skies. Hardly a weekend passes without a Town-sponsored family activity in a local park or downtown, whether it’s a free movie or concert during the warmer months or a seasonal event such as the annual Easter Egg Hunt or the Happy Holly Days Parade.

The Town currently has two elementary schools and one middle school. Holly Springs High School opens in 2006. A combination Town cultural center and Wake County library are scheduled to open downtown in late 2006, offering additional opportunities for youth and adults alike.

Holly Springs features the 46-acre Parrish Womble Park, which includes baseball and soccer fields, playground equipment, a small fishing pond, a picnic shelter, an amphitheater, a paved walking trail, and areas for horseshoes and volleyball. It also provides a 90-acre Bass Lake Park, opened in 2004, that features a lake stocked with an assortment of fish. Canoes and small boats, along with fishing gear, are available for rent. A 1.25-mile mulch trail along the lakeshore features scenic overlooks. The park also offers a retreat center for meetings and special events.

If you’re looking for the possibility of more land in a growing rural town, then Holly Springs is the right choice..
