Situated just north of Raleigh's city limits, Stonebridge is a master-planned neighborhood nestled within 790 acres of rolling hills and dense forests.
Development first began in the late 1990s led by builder Curtis Properties who saw potential in the area's natural wooded beauty and proximity to major highways like I-540.
The initial homes constructed were primarily brick Georgian and Colonial style single-family residences on spacious lots.
Over 20 years later, Stonebridge contains over 520 homes but still retains its lush, secluded feel.
Though the neighborhood is nearing full build-out, a few vacant lots do remain for customized homes.
Covenants maintain architectural standards and ensure homes complement the area's scenic landscapes dotted with mature hardwoods.
The community also offers amenities like two pools, tennis courts, a soccer field, playgrounds, and walking trails around a lake.
Notable Areas and Features
Stonebridge comprises several distinct sections, each with its own appeal:
Sheffield - One of the first areas built, Sheffield offers traditional two-story brick homes on acre+ wooded lots. Homeowners enjoy privacy and separation from neighbors.
Kensington - With homes dating primarily from the 2000s, Kensington provides a mix of brick Georgian, Colonials, and more contemporary designs on smaller lots.
Bexley - Bexley contains some of the neighborhood's newest construction with modern single-family homes and luxury interior features.
The Estates - This exclusive section features custom-built homes on multi-acre lots tucked back into the woods for maximum serenity.
The neighborhood also contains a clubhouse with a fitness center. And its naturalistic setting allows for encounters with wildlife like deer, foxes, and birds.
