Self-contained living in a planned community
In the 1990s, Cary, North Carolina, was a leader in master-planned developments, and Amberly is a prime example. The goal of the community was to create a home where residents could work, study and shop all within the same neighborhood, and all within a decent driving distance from the state capital. “You get that quiet suburban life, but we’re still close to Raleigh,” said Christina Quinn, who has lived in Amberly for 8 years and runs a bakery out of her home. “It’s the kind of neighborhood where people feel comfortable letting their kids ride their bikes on the street.”
The vision for the Amberly neighborhood was a community where people could work, shop.
Amberly is located between downtown Raleigh and RTP giving it easy access to both.
