New houses with big-city amenities

Just 10 years ago, White Oak was mostly fields. Now it’s a sprawling area with several subdivisions and a commercial hub. “A developer bought a bunch of land off of Interstate 40 and developed a huge shopping center called White Oak,” says Julie Toy, a lifelong North Carolina resident and Realtor with Coldwell Banker Advantage. “Now, people refer to that general area as White Oak.” With that level of growth comes new homes that maintain a country feel while remaining 9 to 20 miles south of Downtown Raleigh. White Oak offers plenty of parks and recreational opportunities, as well as proximity to major employers, including an Amazon Distribution Center.

A variety of styles in a variety of subdivisions

Though some older homes are scattered about, White Oak mainly comprises new home construction that varies in size and style. "This is a good area for first-time buyers and investors," says Heartstring Realty Realtor Carrie Guerreiro, who has sold five homes in the area. "It's the right price point." Most new and renovated Craftsman, Cape Cod and ranch-style homes often list between $300,000 and $800,000. Farther from the mall, buyers may find country estates ranging from $1 million to $1.5 million. There are also a few townhouses, which are generally priced between $300,000 and $400,000.

A newer high school established in 2018

Though all within the Wake County Public School System, school zones vary greatly in White Oak. Prospective residents should check which schools are assigned to their address. One possible pipeline starts with Bryan Road Elementary, which receives an A-minus grade from Niche. East Garner Middle School is a magnet school with a Niche score of B-minus. Magnet schools also accept students from outside the school zone; admission may depend on grades, test scores, portfolios and/or auditions. Meanwhile, South Garner High, which graduated its first class in 2021, scores a C-plus.

Easy highway access for a smooth commute

Downtown Raleigh is anywhere from 9 to 20 miles north of various points in White Oak, but rush hour traffic can extend commute times. Raleigh-Durham International Airport and Research Triangle Park, a hub of tech sector employers, are both within a 30-mile drive via I-40 West. Most residents rely on their cars to commute, but there is a park and ride at the shopping center for those interested in public transportation. "Interstates 40 and 95 run through here, making it very convenient for people traveling to Raleigh or the other way to Durham or Chapel Hill," says Adaze Realty Realtor Simon Camara, who lives nearby and lists in this neighborhood.
