A welcoming community of newcomers
The community of New Hill has, for many years, had expansive land and a secluded rural feel but has seen a recent boom in development due to its prime location near Apex. Martin Burke is a real estate agent with NorthGroup Real Estate who lives in New Hill, he says living in the area gives people a chance to get back in touch with nature and small-town living. “Sometimes you’re making dinner and you’re like, ‘Oh, man, I need cream of mushroom soup, but I don’t want to drive all the way to Apex,'” he says. “I can jump on one of our online community groups and say, ‘Hey, does anyone have a can of soup I can borrow?’” Because it’s such a new community, Burke estimates the longest a resident has lived in New Hill is about 10 years, with the average time being three years. “We all know that we're out of the way, so we take care of each other,” he says.
Some of the finest fishing around can be found along the 180 miles of shoreline at Jordan Lake.
Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes in New Hill.

New neighborhhood and more to come
While a few of the older homes dating back to the early 1900s still stand, newcomers will also see custom builds with open floor plans and townhouses between $500,000 and $1.4 million. The most common styles here are Craftsman and traditional. “You can get a little bit more bang for your buck as far as housing and the space,” says Beth Marks, Realtor with Compass. Yard space is commonly found in the back end of these homes and may include covered patios or decks. With new subdivisions popping up left and right, buyers will be able to take advantage of exclusive amenities, including pools, playgrounds and dog parks. “We currently have six new neighborhoods,” Burke says. “We plan to have probably 7 to 8 more within the next couple years.” He says homes in New Hill can go under contract in just a few days.

New Hill residents will find their nearest shopping destinations in Apex and Holly Springs. “You’re 15 to 20 minutes away,” Burke says. “If you’re going somewhere, you might as well as commit to an hour. 30 minutes going, 30 minutes coming back.” In Holly Springs, Towne Center lodges more than 50 retailers and restaurants like Marshalls, Bath & Body Works or DICK’S Sporting Goods. Fast casual food is served at Tijuana Flats or a beer from Carolina Brewing Company can be enjoyed on their outdoor patio. Just 2 miles south of the shopping complex are two grocery stores, Harris Teeter and Walmart. Beaver Creek Commons in Apex is another option, with major department stores like Target.

Overflow schools in Wake County
Part of the Wake County School System, zoning depends on where homes are located in the neighborhood. Another factor is if an assigned base school has a cap, which causes some students to attend overflow schools. For example, in the Jordan Point subdivision, students will begin their education at Baucom Elementary — scoring an A overall on Niche. Apex Middle and High School also earn A scores. The Academy of Information Technology program allows Apex High students the chance to learn about computer science, including programing and web design.
Apex Friendship Elementary School is a brand new school that will one day serve over 700 kids.
Opened less than 10 years ago, Apex Friendship High now serves 2,800 Wake County students.
