Privacy, peace and a rural atmosphere in Randolph County

Rolling woodlands and a bucolic landscape await potential residents of Staley, a small town in Randolph County, North Carolina. Railroad tracks bisect the town and run parallel to Staley Street, which connects to Highway 421. Housing the Staley Town Hall, Main Street also runs parallel to the tracks and Staley Street for a short stretch. Country roads branch off Staley and Main Street, dotted with homes tucked back from the roadways. This creates plenty of space and privacy from neighbors, which remains a big draw for residents looking for a slower lifestyle while maintaining convenient access to larger surrounding communities, like Asheboro, Siler City and Greensboro. The town also has a low crime score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national score of 4.

Ranch-style homes and homes rooted in history

The rural nature of the properties here offers more space than in neighboring towns. Small cottages and ranch-style homes dot the landscape, and vernacular farmhouse styles are also common. Staley is home to the oldest home in Randolph County: the Thomas Marley home dates to 1816 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of 19th-century architecture. The median price for homes in Staley is $221,000, though prices can range from $130,000 to $540,000. Tracts of land are also available for purchase and offer opportunities for new construction.

Parks and Recreation in nearby towns and cities

While Staley has no public parks of its own, the surrounding towns of Ramseur, Siler City and Liberty all teem with green spaces and recreational opportunities. Waterside activities abound in Ramseur, where Riverside Park provides water access to Deep River and the fishing pier at Ramseur Lake attracts anglers. Deep River Rail Trail is popular among hikers, and the Allen H. Leonard Memorial Park provides ballparks and sports courts. In Siler City, Bray Park Pool attracts families in the hot summer months, while Boling Lane Park offers a playground and open green space.

Sammy's Grill and additional establishments in Siler City

Situated on Main Street, Sammy’s Grill is a neighborhood staple because it’s the only dining establishment in Staley. Inside a small building with red siding, Sammy’s Grill serves classic burgers and sandwiches alongside fountain drinks in an unfussy and casual atmosphere. For additional dining, locals head southwest to Ramseur, southeast to Siler City or north to Liberty for spots like Y’all Come Back Café and Hurricane Jane’s. Siler City has grocery stores including Piggly Wiggly, Food Lion and Walmart. Along with a smattering of fast-food chains, Siler City also offers various local restaurants, like Haley Bales Steakhouse and Johnson’s Drive-In, a hamburger joint that has been serving the community since 1946. Staley residents can access the Asheboro Mall, with national stores like Belk and Books-A-Million, at the Asheboro Mall in Asheboro, 17 miles away.

Liberty Antiques Festival happens twice a year

Just north of Staley, at Pike Family Farm, thousands of people gather to rifle through antiques, collectibles and more at the Liberty Antiques Festival. The event is held twice a year — once in April and once in September — and attracts over 400 vendors from 25 states. For two days each season, the 100-acre tract of green gets dotted with white, as tents set up their haul. The fest is rounded out by food vendors and live entertainment.
