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.
