Dutchman Downs subdivision between Penny Road and Ten Ten Road - Cary, Raleigh, or Apex ?

Dutchman Downs  is a lovely oasis - not YET annexed into Cary NC - but surrounded by Cary or Apex with a Raleigh NC address !  The reason is that if you are located in Wake County but are not annexed, then apparently you have a Raleigh NC address !

Dutchman Downs is a wonderful area with lot sizes from just under one acre on up to 10 acres or more.  There are homes built from the 1970's on through 2005.  Well & septic as there are no "city" amenities.

However, the advantages of living outside city limits, in my mind, far outweigh the offerings of "city" living!

First of all - Bonfires!  Bonfires are legal outside city limits!  You can burn your leaves!  You can roast marshmallows!

I thought you might enjoy some pictures of Dutchman Downs.

There's a lovely lake with beach, club house for rent, playground and community pool.

Homes in Dutchman Downs range from the upper $200,000 to well over $600,000.  A wide variety of styles, shapes & sizes !
