Nestled just 15 minutes northeast of Raleigh lies the beautiful 360-acre wooded community of Planters Walk in the historic town of Knightdale.

Overview of Planters Walk

The land where Planters Walk sits today was once several plantations dating back to the early 1700s when the Hinton family first settled the area after an official decree by the King of England.

Six well-known plantations followed - Clay Hill, Oaks, Silent Retreat, The River, Midway, and Beaverdam.

Now, centuries later, their history lives on in the street names and sections of the Planters Walk neighborhood.

The development of the community was the lifelong dream of Lester C. O’Neal, founder and chairman of Raleigh’s O’Neal Builders and Developers.

With fond memories of his childhood growing up in the country, O’Neal fell in love with the 360-acre site and set out to create a community reminiscent of his upbringing.
