Why Live in Morrisville
With Research Triangle Park and Raleigh-Durham International Airport as its neighbors, Morrisville has established itself as one of North Carolina’s fastest-growing communities, hosting offices for top companies like Oracle, Lenovo and Syneos Health. In 2000, only 5,000 people were living here, but today, this diverse Wake County town is home to over 31,000 people, many of whom work for one of the hundreds of companies with campuses in the nation's largest research park.
While tech companies are driving the culture and lifestyle of Morrisville today, this community first flourished as a rural railroad depot in the mid-1800s. Morrisville Station is where the Civil War’s Battle of Morrisville took place in 1865, leading to the largest Confederate surrender of the conflict. It’s now the site of the Morrisville Fire Administration.
Through the years, pastoral scenes here have shifted into a dense network of subdivisions, industrial centers and green spaces hugged by swaths of forest. Quick highway access, good schools and a short 15-mile drive into downtown Durham convince many families and young professionals to relocate to this community known as the Heart of the Triangle.
