Greystone
Neighborhood in Raleigh, North Carolina
Wake County 27612, 27615
A mix of single-family homes and townhouses
"The homes are a little bit older, and usually on the smaller side for this area, but it's still a great neighborhood," says Mark Parker, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston who used to live in the area. Lot sizes in this section of Raleigh tend to be larger as it’s a more established neighborhood. Many Greystone homes were built in the 1980s and 90s. Single-family homes start at $444,000 and go up to over $870,000. Townhouses are also common throughout the neighborhood and range from $251,000 to $464,000. The townhouses along Baker Pond have waterfront views, as well as amenities like a community pool.A namesake swim club and neighborhood lakes
The Greystone Homeowners Association runs the Greystone Swim & Racquet Club. However, membership is open to non-residents too. The 9-acre facility includes an Olympic-size pool, as well as courts for tennis, basketball and volleyball. It’s home to the Greystone Gators swim team. “They have a rivalry with Seven Oaks Swim and Racquet Club,” Parker says. “It’s friendly, though.” There are many walking trails running through the wooded neighborhood that has three private lakes and many creeks. Anglers can catch and release fish at all Greystone ponds. Wildlife there also includes several bird species like great egrets and red-tailed hawks.Wake County Public Schools serving the area
Lynn Road Elementary earns a B-plus on Niche, while Carroll Magnet Middle receives a B score. Sanderson High is a B-plus-rated school home to the Academy of Finance, a four-year program that teaches students about finance, economics and entrepreneurship. Wake County Public School System is an A-rated school district that offers open enrollment into magnet schools based on students' addresses.

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.
