With the increased influence of Research Triangle Park and the shifting real estate landscape around Raleigh, many surrounding suburbs are changing rapidly. But even with an influx of new housing and subdivisions, Youngsville is preserving its small-town charm. “Youngsville is undergoing a time of growth unparalleled in the history of Frankin County. The growth is astronomical due to our proximity to the economic engine that is Raleigh,” says Nathan Path, Youngsville’s Town Manager. “The projection in our comprehensive plan shows the town potentially being 20,000 people by 2050, similar to what Cary and Holly Springs and Knightdale did before. But that small-town feel where you know everybody is important and is something that we’re still striving to maintain.”

New subdivisions and infrastructure in Youngsville
Older streets around Youngsville’s downtown have a variety of classic suburban homes, like ranch style and minimal traditional homes, as well as historical Queen Annes. Youngsville also has newly developed neighborhoods scattered throughout, like Holden Creek Preserve and Winston Ridge. These neighborhoods have new traditional and Craftsman-inspired homes in subdivisions ranging from $350,000 to $450,000. In addition to new neighborhoods, the town is striving to develop pedestrian infrastructure as it grows. “Every effort is being made to increase walkability to and from the downtown through zoning regulation and development approvals,” Page says. “Every neighborhood built along one of the major thoroughfares now has greenways as part of that development.”

For more outdoor activities, Luddy Park has a playground, basketball court and baseball fields. Golf fans enjoy nearby Olde Liberty Golf Club, featuring a full 18-hole course. Youngsville residents can also look forward to future park developments and improvements. “We’re doing our parks master plan right now. All of our plans have public input. The goal is to do what the people want under the direction of the board of commissioners,” Page says. “We’ve just started the process of gathering input, and the hot topic, as you might imagine, is pickleball. But we’re also talking about adding soccer fields and basketball courts, that sort of thing.”
Youngsville Elementary in Youngsville, NC, serves nearly 400 students.
Students attend Franklin County Public Schools
Children may start school at Youngsville Elementary, which earned a B grade from Niche. “Youngsville Elementary is a year-round school, which some families really like. They’ve got shorter summers, but they also get three other breaks. You get to travel with your family on the shoulder seasons when it isn’t as crowded,” Page says. Students progress to Cedar Creek Middle School and Bunn High School, which both earned B-minus grades. The town is also home to Youngsville Academy, an A-minus-rated public charter school teaching kindergarten through eighth grade.
