What makes Fuquay-Varina so desirable, particularly in the sought-after Raleigh area?

Just 18 miles from Raleigh, there’s a small town atmosphere that carries through Fuquay-Varina. It’s a friendly place where neighbors step up to help one another. The town itself is associated with wellness. Fuquay-Varina Mineral Spring Park is the town’s signature attraction. In the middle of the 19th century, the waters from the spring were believed to have curative powers. The fascination with the mineral spring brought eager visitors to the health resort that sprung from the spring’s popularity. While it’s no longer an active wellness source, the town still carries that feeling of healthy living.
