A little bit about Wendell
Are you looking for homes for sale in Wendell? Wendell is a small town located in eastern Wake County, approximately 16 miles east of downtown Raleigh. Wendell has a population of around 7,000 people, and the Master Planned Community of Wendell Falls has been responsible for the rapid growth of the town. Downtown Wendell still has the charm of an old North Carolina agricultural town, while new communities are bringing the convenience of modern suburban life.
The town was founded in the late 19th century as a result of the construction of the Seaboard and Raleigh Railroad. Its name was inspired by the poet Oliver Wendell Holmes. In the early years, Wendell was primarily an agricultural community, with tobacco as the main crop.
Today, the town has a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. It has a historic downtown district with a variety of locally-owned shops and restaurants, as well as several parks and recreational areas, including Wendell Park, J. Ashley Wall Town Square, and Wendell Park Lake.
Wendell Falls, a Newland Community, has created resort-like living in this once sleepy southern town. Access to Raleigh is easy on I-87. It’s about a 25 minute drive into downtown Raleigh from Wendell, or only 20 minutes from Wendell Falls.
Thanks to Wendell Falls, Wendell now has a Publix! (We like Publix). You can watch our video comparing Wendell to Knightdale on our Small Town Videos page.
