"Southern Hospitality"
Welcome to Central North Carolina and “Southern Hospitality”
Welcome to central North Carolina where Southern Hospitality starts. With our close proximity to the beaches, mountains and only a nine hour drive to Disney World, we are the perfect spot “to land”. Kerr and Gaston Lakes are only one hour away from Raleigh, the “City of Oaks” and the capital city of North Carolina.
You can enjoy many cultural venues, such as the Carolina Ballet Company, the North Carolina Symphony, and the wonderful North Carolina Museum of Art to name just a few. Walnut Creek Amphitheatre is home to one of the largest outdoor amphitheatres in the south, with concerts from the Beach Boys to the Goo Goo Dolls.
A golf enthusiast? No shortage of golf courses in our area, from small public courses to PGA courses, hit the links and enjoy the beautiful outdoors and sunshine that we have to offer.
Families and individuals enjoy the Parks and Recreation system plus many sports activities including a large soccer presence to ice skating in Wake County. We are home to college and professional sports. From the ACC to Double A and Triple A baseball to our own NHL hockey team, the Carolina Hurricanes, 2006 winners of the Stanley Cup.
“Born to Shop”, not a problem. Take your pick from Wal Mart to Saks 5th Avenue and everything in-between.
Enjoy dining out and nightlife? From Carolina BBQ to high end restaurants and the newly reopened Fayetteville Street Mall there is something for every palate and age.
Our area boasts some of the finest medical facilities in the nation and we enjoy the four seasons, without having to be concerned with having the snow blower ready to use come wintertime!

So sit back, enjoy a glass of iced “sweet tea” and let us help you with your move to our area.
(And just as a side note-drinking sweet tea is one of the oldest and most exceptional Southern traditions. As Dolly Parton's character in Steel Magnolias puts it, it's the "house wine of the South"—a clear, orange-to-red tinted tea brewed from six or seven Lipton or Luzianne tea bags, poured hot onto a cup or more of sugar or a pool of simple syrup, and then diluted into a gallon pitcher in the fridge. It's served over a mound of ice in a huge glass—so cold that you can watch your napkin drown in a puddle of condensation.)
