WILLOW SPRING, NC New Home Communities

Discover Willow Spring, NC

For anyone in search of small-town living outside bustling Raleigh, Willow Spring, NC, is ready to welcome you to your new hometown.

It’s a unique place, stretching across 42 square miles in two counties. The unincorporated community carries a different name according to where it’s located: Willow Spring in Wake County and Willow Springs in Johnston County. The population in Wake County is slightly less than 8,000 people, while in Johnston County, Willow Springs is home to about 19,000 residents.

No matter what you call it, the rural area is just 16 miles south of Raleigh—so close to urban activity, yet far enough to provide the serenity and charm that is synonymous with living in a small southern town. Willow Springs also sits just beyond popular and larger Raleigh suburbs, like Apex, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, and Smithfield. When you’re heading from Willow Spring to Raleigh or the other cities and towns surrounding the state capital, hop on I-401, which takes you to the new 540 loop, an extension that circles Raleigh and takes you more quickly to places like Research Triangle Park.

• As an unincorporated community, Willow Spring is not an official town that is guided by a municipal government. As a result, residents enjoy lower taxes. It’s an affordable, convenient place to live, and you’ll find that larger lots are more available here.
• Named River of the Year in 2022, the Neuse River runs alongside Willow Spring. The famous Cape Fear River is just a short drive as well. You’ll find your pick of outdoor recreation on these waterways—paddling, swimming, tubing, boating, and fishing. But the shores along these rivers are just as desirable to outdoors enthusiasts. Hiking, biking, and even horseback riding trails are plentiful. A short drive from Willow Spring, NC, Raven Rock State Park straddles the Cape Fear River, and includes rapids that offer a full range of whitewater experiences for all skill levels.
• People who live in rural areas appreciate the scenic landscapes that are uninterrupted by urban sprawl. They gladly drive to the nearby cities and suburbs for shopping and other necessities, but prefer simpler options for the essentials of daily life—the local market, the favorite place to eat where you’re welcomed by name, and farm stands for freshly picked produce, baked goods, and plants. You can pick your own strawberries and pumpkins at Porter Farms in Willow Spring, or stop in for a taste of the ice cream made fresh in the farm’s own kitchen!
• Living in Willow Spring feeds this desire to live happily in a quiet area. But back to basics doesn’t mean isolated or limited. It’s simply a choice to step away from a faster pace, to revel in the pleasures that too many people overlook.
