South Lakes combines small town charm and modern amenities to create a tranquil and natural setting that's focused on community and families. Roughly on the border of downtown Fuquay Varina, the neighborhood consists of single-family homes, a 30-acre lake and nearly 120 acres of green space, wetlands, and walking trails that residents can enjoy. The neighborhood also features a recreation facility and community center, which include a pool complete with water slide and an on-site playground. Residents can attend schools in the Wake County School System and are close to downtown Raleigh and Cary by roughly thirty minutes.
