Knightdale is the best of both worlds: a small-town community with
urban cultural, educational, employment and other benefits just four
miles west in Raleigh.
With an annual growth rate of 12.5 percent over the past 10 years,
Knightdale is one of the fastest-growing towns in the state. The
town's leaders have partnered with the county to provide facilities
such as a new regional library in the Town Hall complex and a new
elementary school and high school with a 70-acre community park. The
Knightdale Environmental Park offers a nature trail system with
picnic areas and a trellis, and the town's active Parks and
Recreation Department provides sports programs for more than 1,000
children annually. A new Community Center provides programs for all
ages, while the pool features summer swimming, lessons and water
aerobics. A new Frisbee golf course rounds out the variety of
recreational opportunities.
While a few 18th-century plantations still exist in Knightdale,
current growth includes a number of upscale developments that are
attracting new families. |
