A town steeped in tradition and history, Wake Forest continues to
progress and prosper and is now home to more than 16,000 people. The
town grew up around the campus of Wake Forest College, which has
since moved to Winston-Salem and has become Wake Forest University.
The original college campus in Wake Forest, a charming setting
featuring Georgian architecture and stately trees, now houses
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The historic downtown
business area is a growing, thriving center where people can walk to
restaurants and shops. Wake Forest is only five minutes from Falls
Lake, a major state park.
Wake Forest has been successful in bringing companies and jobs to
the town, and several national and international companies are
located in the area. Like many other Wake County municipalities,
Wake Forest has seen a flurry of commercial development in recent
years, including a small shopping center, office buildings,
supermarkets and auto stores, as well as a great deal of residential
development.
One notable new development is Heritage Wake Forest, which offers
golf, tennis, parks, soccer, softball and some of the most beautiful
custom homes in the Triangle. Recently named Best Designed Community
of the Year, Heritage has nabbed more than 20 awards. It is
conveniently located just five miles north of Interstate 540 and
Triangle Town Center. |
