Bedford at Falls River was made for almost every budget
When some people move to Raleigh, they want to be close to the downtown scene but in a quiet residential area. Bedford at Falls River is just that: a community designed for anyone needing a small townhouse or a grand estate, while being 30 minutes from jobs in downtown Raleigh. “Bedford is a planned, urban development, so it really targets all different buyers,” says Sue Greer, a Realtor and team lead of the Sue Greer Team with Allen Tate. “You’ve got townhouses, and you’ve got Charleston-style homes. And you even have a section called the Estates. In the middle of the neighborhood, there are some shops and a wonderful pool with a full-time activity director and lots of activities for all ages. It’s a complete lifestyle community. The theme of it was based on the movie 'It’s a Wonderful Life.' There’s even a town square surrounded by townhouses where they’ll do different activities for the kids, like at Halloween. It hits a lot of needs.”

So, the real estate there targets a multitude of needs.” Townhouses range between $300,000 and $500,000, while detached single-family homes can sell for $500,000 to $900,000. Large Craftsmans in a section called Bedford Estates have at least four bedrooms and can sell for over $1 million due to their size.
On average, homes sell after being on the market for 17 days, while the national average is 44. “I had an estate home on the market, and the amount of showings and offers was incredible,” Greer says. “It would have sold in five minutes, but I cut off the showings after a day and a half. One of my agents also had one in a different section, and the same thing happened. There’s never a lot for sale, but people want to be there.”
