Trailwood Hills is a southwest pocket of Raleigh where wooded streets, cul-de-sacs, and greenway access create an easygoing, neighborly rhythm. Minutes from the shoreline trails and boat rentals at Lake Johnson Park, residents trade long car trips for paddle sessions, runs, and sunset walks on the water. Proximity to Cary and major thoroughfares keeps commutes efficient, while the energy of Wake County jobs and amenities is right at hand.
Education is a strong suit. Many homes feed to Dillard Drive Elementary and the well-regarded Dillard Drive Magnet Middle School, which emphasizes leadership and global studies, and Athens Drive Magnet High School, known for its health sciences and STEM programs. Families appreciate the resources and extracurriculars showcased by both Dillard Drive Magnet Middle and Athens Drive Magnet High School, with quick trips to campus events and athletics at NC State University.
Outdoor time is easy to prioritize. The greenway connections around Lake Johnson Park link to broader trail networks, and GoRaleigh routes along Avent Ferry and Tryon help residents leave the car at home when heading downtown or to campus via GoRaleigh.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or landing in Raleigh for the first time, Trailwood Hills balances nature, education, and convenience in a way that makes daily life run smoothly. When you’re ready to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent to guide every step.
