Nestled amongst rolling hills and woodlands lies the charming Beech Haven community in Holly Springs, North Carolina. Though a smaller neighborhood established in the 1990s, Beech Haven has developed a reputation as a hidden gem within Holly Springs for its peaceful atmosphere and attractive homes.

Overview of Beech Haven

Conveniently located off Bass Lake Road, Beech Haven is 15 miles southwest of downtown Raleigh and a short 5 mile drive to RDU International Airport. Beech Haven was established in the early 1990s as Holly Springs began growing rapidly. The community was developed by Homestead Land Holdings and appealed to families seeking a quiet neighborhood setting within the bustling town.

As the founder of the Tim M. Clarke Team, one of the top real estate teams in the Raleigh-Durham market, I've seen my fair share of neighborhoods. But let me tell you, Beech Haven is something special. It's like finding a four-leaf clover in a field of three-leaf ones - rare and lucky!

Builders in Beech Haven

Residents enjoy a mix of Craftsman Style homes, Cape Cods and Colonials built by local builders like STARRITT Builders in the late 2000's. Lot sizes range from 0.25 to 0.5 acres, providing privacy between neighbors. At the heart of Beech Haven lies a community pool and cabana area. Nearby Bass Lake offers fishing and trails that residents frequently enjoy.

The homes in Beech Haven are like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get, but they're all delicious! From cozy Cape Cods to stately Colonials, there's something for everyone's taste. And with lot sizes that give you enough elbow room to swing a cat (not that we recommend swinging cats), you won't feel like you're living in your neighbor's pocket.
