Established builds and new construction alike
Homes in the Shotwell neighborhood reflect its more vintage style and character—while also demonstrating the rapid growth and popularity of the region. A mix of traditional designs call the area home, though ranch styles, cottages, and Cape Cods are the most common established builds. Modern contemporary homes are also quite common in the neighborhood, with a great deal of newer construction reflecting this. “While it’s certainly an established neighborhood, it’s also been sort of ‘discovered’ in the last few years,” says Suggs. “So, you’re getting a lot of new people and new construction, which is really exciting.” Townhouses are also located throughout Shotwell, with these homes typically reflecting modern contemporary designs too. Prices typically range from $225,000 to $1 million—with ranch styles, cottages, and townhouses on the lower end of the range and large, modern contemporary estates towards the upper end.
Plenty of opportunity to appreciate the great outdoors
Those looking to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty will have plenty of opportunity to do so, with the Neuse River Greenway Trail tracing along the eastern edge of the neighborhood. Featuring nearly 30 miles of paved walking trails and a scenic view of the Neuse River, the Greenway is an excellent spot for days spent outdoors. Anderson Point Park, located in the northwest corner of Shotwell, features 90 acres of athletic fields, wildlife habitats, and even an amphitheater. Bailey and Sarah Williamson Nature Preserve offers an additional 7 miles of walking and biking trails, making the area ideal for active types and those who enjoy peaceful strolls alike. “Even outside the designated trails, there’s tons of walking paths and pocket parks,” says Suggs. “You can even take part in some smaller boating and water activities.”Lake Myra Elementary molds the leaders of tomorrow

Typically, commuters to Raleigh are looking at a 15-mile drive—averaging out to about 20 minutes spent in the car, barring traffic.
