Beulah
Neighborhood in Kenly, North Carolina
Johnston County 27542, 27576
Remote country roads and modern ranch homes
Most homes in Beulah sit on remote country roads, with green fields and mature trees taking up the space between properties. Most are single-story, with various architectural influences from Georgian and Colonial to new construction in a modern Craftsman style. Home prices vary, depending on lot size and the property’s condition. Find a modern ranch-style home in the $200,000 range on a little over 1,000 square feet. In the $300,000 range, buyers can expect a home with modern interiors on about 3,000 square feet. As prices continue to rise, so do lot sizes. “Home prices are lower than towns closer to Raleigh. You can get a better deal based on the location,” says Hines.

Quiet days at Grady Park
Grady Park is a small green space that’s walkable from some homes in the neighborhood. It features a picnic pavilion, an open grassy area and several small play areas for children to run around. At Kenly Area Parks and Recreation Center, locals can walk their dogs along half a mile of trail or enroll in year-round athletic programs, offered for both children and adults. Many of these leagues play at Cougar Facility, within the Kenly Area Parks and Recreation Center, which includes four ball fields, a soccer complex, batting cages and more.

Weekly and annual events at Kenly Public Library
The Kenly Public Library, located on East Edgerton Street, hosts an onslaught of events throughout the year, including an adult book club that meets monthly, a knitting club, holiday celebrations and more. Tobacco Farm Life Museum takes visitors back in time with a design that mimics an old, southern agricultural town, complete with a one-room schoolhouse and a quaint log cabin with a wrap-around porch. The gallery features rotating and permanent exhibits on farm life. Other historic buildings include a tobacco barn, a working blacksmith shop and a smokehouse.Interstate 95 journeys northwest to Raleigh
U.S. Interstate 95 cuts through the center of the neighborhood and intersects with U.S. Route 301. I-95 will take locals about 60 miles southwest to Fayetteville and start the journey about 45 miles northwest to Raleigh. Before leaving, fuel up at Petro Kenly Fuel Island, a truck stop marked by a replica of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. Grab something to eat before leaving and see the 1950s-inspired signage and interior decoration, giving locals one last taste of small-town living before heading to the big city.

Family-owned shops in Downtown Kenly
“There aren’t many chains here,” says Hines. “Most shops are local.” Downtown Kenly is a small, southern town center featuring rows of local businesses and restaurants. This is a great place to spend a weekend afternoon window shopping. Pop into Wheeler Dealer on West Second Street, a family-owned store selling automobilia and collectibles. Here, old road signs line the wall, and there might even be a classic car parked out front. Head next door to Outdoor Accessories Unlimited, a locally owned and operated business that supplies the community with all their fishing needs. Grab groceries from Food Lion on South Church Street or eat out at Nik’s Pizza & Restaurant across the road, a local favorite for pizza that also offers Italian and Greek selections. Stormin Norman’s BBQ, also on South Church Street, serves country cooking in a rustic log cabin. In the building’s wooden interior, eat coleslaw and collard greens beneath exposed rafters. Also, in this area, there’s Dollar Tree, McDonald’s and some gas stations with ATMs.
