The benefits of retiring in Wendell Falls
U.S. News recognized Raleigh as one of the best places to retire – and we couldn’t agree more! With Wendell Falls located just 15 miles from Downtown Raleigh, the community offers easy access to the state’s capital while still providing an oasis for the young at heart.
According to Forbes, there are four questions homebuyers ask themselves when deciding where they will retire:
- What can I afford?
- How active is the community?
- Will I be able to stay here long term?
- Would I like the surrounding area?
