Neatly-landscaped yards and lush green lawns line the streets of Edgeford Park in Wake Forest. The manicured landscaping seems to take after the street names in the neighborhood, which tend to describe favorite botanicals: Caladium Drive, Amaryllis Way, Brierroot Court, Rose Petal Run, and Lotus Lane.
Tucked in east Wake Forest, Edgeford Park is located off North Main Street, also known as Alternate Route 1. Turning from North Main Street onto Edgeford Park Lane leads residents directly into the neighborhood. All streets in the subdivision end in cul-de-sacs, reducing the amount of traffic through the neighborhood and increasing privacy for neighbors. Most properties in Edgeford Park were constructed between 2000 and 2004.
Children living in Edgeford Park attend Jones Dairy Elementary, Heritage Middle School, and Wake Forest-Rolesville High School.
Sidewalks line every street of Edgeford Park, ensuring safety for children, parents, and pets.
JB Flaherty Park is located a quarter mile south of Edgeford Park and is within walking distance for some residents. One of the largest parks in Wake Forest, Flaherty Park is home to three baseball/softball fields. Two ponds allow fishing, and a community center is available for family reunions or neighborhood events. Four tennis courts are also located within the park, as are picnic shelters.
One of the most-visited areas of the park remains Flaherty Dog Park, which opened in 2007. Separate from the main park, Flaherty Dog Park is enclosed by a five-foot fence and allows a safe place for furry friends to run and play.
Edgeford Park remains a favorite among Wake Forest families for safety and location.
