Suburban comfort meets mixed-use excitement in Six Forks
Life in Raleigh’s Six Forks combines the comforts of suburban living with the convenience of city amenities. Sidewalks line both major roads and residential streets, giving residents pedestrian-friendly access to shopping centers, diverse restaurants and well-kept community parks. The neighborhood’s mixed-use character is evident: homes occupy about half the area, while retail and industry fill the remainder. “It’s very trendy and attracts younger professionals. There’s residential mixed with business. You’ve got shopping, schools, parks and green spaces,” says Erin Van Horn, a local broker with Braken LLC who was born and raised in the area. “And it’s centrally located between two access points: Six Forks Road goes from the 440 Beltline up to 540, but traffic can be pretty brutal.” Due to its proximity to both major interstates, Six Forks appeals to commuters, as well as those who don’t mind urban expansion.
The Six Forks Road corridor has shopping centers and eateries
The retail and dining scene in Six Forks features both established shopping centers and upscale storefronts, as well as a variety of culinary options. “Six Forks is a lifestyle,” says Van Horn. “You can run to a restaurant, walk to a store; it’s like city living. You’re more in tune with stuff to do.” Six Forks Station serves as a notable hub, Whole Foods, Triangle Cinemas and fast-food outlets. For sit-down dining, Milton’s specializes in pizza and pasta. Poppyseed Market offers sandwiches, salads and a wine bar, and Sassool serves Mediterranean cuisine with market-style counter service. “The whole Six Forks Road corridor is a commercial hub,” Van Horn adds. “But good luck getting around on it on Saturdays when everyone is out doing stuff.” On the south end of Six Forks Road, the North Hills shopping area presents high-end options and niche boutiques. Duke Health provides primary care on Six Forks' south side, and Duke Raleigh Hospital serves a broader range of needs about 5 miles from there.
Single-family homes and townhomes make up the market
Six Forks offers both diversity and transformation, with a range of housing options. Traditional single-family homes, including split-levels, New Traditionals and Colonial Revivals are common, with sizes typically spanning 1,500 to 5,000 square feet. “Six Forks has a lot of older homes that people buy and either tear down or do massive renovations,” Van Horn says. “Properties have a lot of landscaping and trees, too; they have a good resale value.” Prices cover a broad spectrum, from around $300,000 up to more than $1.6 million, though the median sale price hovers near $455,000. Buyers can also find townhomes and condos, with units from roughly $190,000 to $815,000. Van Horn also mentions that high-rise apartments have been popping up throughout the community, providing a rental option.
