Everything's Close To Home
Located in northern Wake County, Wake Forest continues its emergence as a major player in the phenomenal growth and activity witnessed throughout the Triangle. Wake Forest maintains its small town character, however, by captivating newcomers and long-time residents alike with its incomparable warmth and charm.
Downtown Wake Forest is an officially registered historic district and offers a vibrancy featuring more than 100 unique businesses, restaurants and specialty shops. Wake Forest is the home of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and the Southeastern College at Wake Forest.
Fabulous weather, thousands of acres of natural parks and recreational lakes, first-class universities, a booming job market and plenty of churches that reveal a strong sense of community, make Wake Forest a great place for families.
