Holly Springs
Named after the fresh-water springs in the area, Holly Springs feels like a country town. Since 2000, its population has blossomed, more than doubling in a decade, in part due to its prime location outside of Raleigh. Home to small businesses as well as multi-national firms, Holly Springs has something for everyone!
Its parks, recreational activities, and cultural offerings abound, including a diversity of parks, a recreation center, a cultural arts center, a lake and retreat center, greenways, and two golf courses.
