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.

Quinn says that her kids graduated from Panther Creek Middle and went on to study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which is around 11 miles away. “it’s really a blessing to have them so close,” she said. “That’s one of the great parts of living here – your kids don’t run off to college hours away as soon as they turn 18.” UNC Chapel Hill is one of three prestigious universities within 20 minutes.
