Wake County has been experiencing explosive growth over the past several years amidst an economic boom, particularly with new construction and development outside the Raleigh city limits. Holly Springs, in particular, is in high demand and has come to be known as one of the fastest-growing towns in North Carolina.

Holly Springs was originally developed due to the abundance of fresh water springs, and the area saw an influx of European visitors. Its rich history is reflected today in architectural styles throughout the city, shaded by old holly trees. Now, southern NC charm and a homey small town atmosphere can be found a mere 20 minutes away from the big city.
