Trying to find homes for sale in Fuquay-Variana? This town's first claim to fame was no more than a happy accident of geography. The town happens to be situated near the Fuquay Springs. Once upon a time, people flocked here to bathe in the mysterious waters that were said to cure illness. Today the legend is forgotten, but the mystique remains.
Nowadays, what brings visitors to Fuquay-Varina is considerably less mysterious--the biggest draw here is undeniably the Research Triangle Park, the Southeast's biggest and most important research and development center. If you work in the Park, this little town is a comfortable distance away from the office. Companies like IBM, GlaxoSmithKline, Cisco, Credit Suisse, Bayer, DuPont, and the Environmental Protection Agency all have offices in the park. They not only work together. In fact they even play together--in a beautiful natural setting complete with paved trails, it's hard not to. The competition can get pretty fierce as companies battle it out in the "athletic events" of the annual RTP Corporate Challenge. Hone your brainpower and athleticism now, as it's clear you'll need both to thrive in the RTP. But don't worry-- everyone relaxes at the less strenuous events, such as the Food Truck Fair. It's no wonder home builders have made their way to Fuquay-Varina.
In the same way the RTP balances work with a sense of community, education and community in Fuquay-Varina are connected from day one. Residents' emphasis on quality education leads some elementary schools to use a year-round schedule. Of course, some elementary schools still work with traditional calendar, and parents are empowered to choose the option that works best for their children. Fuquay-Varina is a small town, though, and nowhere is that sense of community more prevalent than in the town's one high school. If you have fond memories of growing up in a classic small town, here is your chance to give your children the same chance. No matter what type of property you're looking for, the custom home builders in Fuquay-Varina are probably building it already.
When not at school or work, residents kick back and enjoy one another's company. They even throw a party for themselves each year, known as Celebrate Fuquay-Varina, which features a classic car show, local food vendors, and arts and crafts. Downtown Fuquay also plays host to several other annual events, such as the Easter Egg Hunt, the big Fourth of July extravaganza, and summer movies in the park.
Oh, and if you were wondering about the name, it pays to investigate a little local history. The town was founded by a French immigrant who carried the proud surname of "Fuquay." "Varina" was the name of the wife of a prominent businessman and Civil War veteran, who named the post office and a railroad station after the love of his life.
