Charming Wendell, located in Wake County, is a bustling town in northeastern North Carolina. First settled in the 1850s, the town was officially incorporated in 1903. Historic downtown Wendell is designated on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, its proximity to the state capital (just 12 miles away!) has made Wendell a popular suburb. It offers easy access to Downtown Raleigh and the Research Triangle Park, as well as Durham and Chapel Hill. North Carolina State University is just 25 minutes away, and Duke University and the University of North Carolina are less than an hour away.

An array of shops and eateries make downtown Wendell an interesting place to visit or live. Fun local events like the Wendell Harvest Festival, the International Food and Music Festival, Wendell Wonderland, and Spring Fling are hosted throughout the year. The Wendell Market runs from May through November, allowing residents to buy fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms and locally prepared food and drink. Wendell is home to various restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and coffeehouses serving everything from classic burgers and fries to Mexican-inspired dishes. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Roberston Millpond Preserve offers a quiet place to kayak, while Wendell Park has many forms of outdoor entertainment, including a playground, dog park, disc golf, and tennis courts. And there are more than a few golf courses to explore in the Wendell area. With so much happening, it’s no wonder that D.R. Horton is building new homes in Wendell, NC.
