Breckenridge
HOA community with reasonable fees
Breckenridge homes were primarily built in the early 2000s and range from townhouses with dormer windows to brick Colonial Revivals with modern touches, like two-car garages. There are seven subdivisions, including the Terrace at Breckenridge and the Manor at Breckenridge. Single-family homes start in the low $500,000s and go as high as the mid $700,000s. Townhouses range between the low $300,000s to the mid $400,000s. Breckenridge has a homeowner's association, but its fees of $40 a month are considered reasonably low. Morrisville Mayor Pro Tem Satish Garimella, who’s also the Breckenridge HOA president, says dues of that level are “unheard of when you consider the amount of amenities we have.” Homes are neatly packed together, often around cul-de-sacs. Leafy trees and bushes shade the sidewalk-lined streets.

Within walking distance of Parkside Elementary School
Parkside Elementary is a year-round elementary school earning an A on Niche. “The elementary school is right there in Breckenridge,” Rao says. “That’s been nice, because you can just walk right to the school from your house.” Alston Ridge Middle is another year-round school that scores an A, and it was ranked the 19th Best Public Middle School in North Carolina by Niche. Part of Wake County Schools, some schools zoned for Breckenridge have enrollment caps, leading to students attending overflow schools. For example, Panther Creek High is the base school assigned to students. However, they may attend Green Hope High as an overflow school. Both high schools score an A-plus.

Neighborhood amenities at Breckenridge Swim & Tennis Club
Amenities at the Breckenridge Swim & Tennis Club include a pool, playground, tennis courts and a clubhouse. When asked why people choose to live in Breckenridge, Rao says, “Honestly, it’s the quality of life. You can stay active, walk, play tennis or pickleball. They’ve got a swimming pool that opens during the warmer months.” The neighborhood has small green spaces and benches for enjoying the quiet scenery, including a small pond with a fountain. Another spot on the western end of the community is Northwest Park, where there are picnic shelters, a walking trail and a green space with playground sets designated for children of all ages. Nearby Church Street Park hosts professional cricket games.

Shopping and dining on Davis Drive and O’Kelly Chapel Road
On the corner of McCrimmon Parkway and Davis Drive, McCrimmon Corners provides residents with easy access to Harris Teeter and restaurants, including Two Guys Grille. In addition to burgers and Philly steaks, the local spot serves up live music. Meanwhile, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream offers nearly 45 flavors. Big box stores like Target and Hobby Lobby are at Parkside Town Commons on O’Kelly Chapel Road, less than 2 miles away. There are a few restaurants here, including chains like Chick-fil-A. EVO Entertainment Cary is a one-stop destination for fun with bowling, movie theaters, arcade games and a bar.

Within reach of annual festivals like local Diwali celebration
Breckenridge hosts an annual triathlon and other neighborhood events, such as tennis clinics. Being part of Morrisville puts residents close to several annual town events, ranging from the International Festival to annual holiday celebrations like the local Diwali Festival, which honors both the Hindu festival of lights itself and the significant Indian-American population that has strongly influenced the local dining and entertainment scene. “It’s a wonderful and vibrant community,” says Rao, who adds that he goes to Breckenridge frequently for events. “They have all kinds of wonderful cultural festivals during the year.”
Located right between Raleigh and Durham
Morrisville is also located about 15 miles from both Durham to the north and Raleigh to the east, which means Breckenridge residents are within reasonable distance of those two cities and their own unique sites. Interstate 40 helps provide a connection to the state capital, while I-885 goes to Durham. Breckenridge residents are also about 5 miles, or an 11-minute drive, away from Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
