Located blocks from the downtown historic district, the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Wake Forest-Rolesville High School, the Brook Hollow neighborhood has all the benefits of a great location. Community services including the U.S. Post Office, county library, and the Wake Forest Town Hall are all within walking distance from the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.
Capital Boulevard (U.S. Highway 1), which connects to North Carolina Highway 98 and Interstate 540, is a mile from the Brook Hollow community.

Other local parks and recreation areas include the Holden Park Pool, E. Carroll Joyner Park, which has paved trails for walking and biking, and Plummer Park, which features a playground and picnic area.
