For golfers, the Carolina Country Club lies within five miles to the southeast, on the other side of Interstate 440. I-440 intersects with I-40 a few miles to the south. These major roadways provide residents with convenient access to the rest of the city. In fact, downtown Raleigh is just under 20 minutes away by car.

Additional attractions include Rex Healthcare and The North Carolina Museum of Art. The museum offers both permanent and rotating exhibitions. Currently, visitors can see an exhibition of American artist Norman Rockwell. The museum also offers a park that is both functional and beautiful.
