Sunset Glen is a popular planned residential community located just off NC-42 in southern Fuquay Varina.

Nestled amongst the rolling hills and forests of Wake County, the neighborhood offers a peaceful small-town feel while still providing easy access to major employment centers like RTP and Raleigh via convenient highway access.

Over the years, Sunset Glen has expanded to over 500 homes across multiple sections featuring additional builders like Bill Clark Homes.

The neighborhood continues to grow as new homes are constructed on the community's remaining open lots.

Based on my analysis of the local market, I expect strong continued development and expansion of Sunset Glen for years to come.

Sunset Glen Overview

The Sunset Glen community began development in the early 2000s by Beazer Homes, one of the nation's largest and most well-regarded home builders.

Beazer purchased and cleared the initial 90 acres of heavily wooded land and constructed the community's first section of single-family homes in the builder's popular Craftsman, Traditional, and Colonial architectural styles.

Types of Housing, Home Size, Lot Size

As an award-winning real estate professional serving the Triangle for over 30 years, clients look to me for expert guidance on the housing options available in Fuquay Varina’s top neighborhoods.

At Sunset Glen, homebuyers can choose from a diverse range of single-family homes to suit their needs and budget.

The neighborhood features two-story single-family homes built in popular architectural styles ranging from approximately 1,800 to over 4,500 square feet.

Lot sizes range from small cottage-style homes on 4,000 square foot lots up to expansive homes on 1/2 acre lots.

This range of housing options attracts everyone from first-time homebuyers to growing families and move-up buyers.

The diversity of housing types and lot sizes allow buyers to find the perfect fit at their preferred price point.

Builders in the Community

As a leading real estate professional in Fuquay Varina, I make it my priority to establish strong relationships with the community’s top builders.

At Sunset Glen, Beazer Homes was the original developer and builder behind the early phases of construction in the neighborhood.

Over the years, Beazer has continued building beautiful single-family homes in their signature Craftsman, Traditional and Colonial architectural styles.

More recently, Bill Clark Homes has begun development on the newest section of Sunset Glen.

Bill Clark Homes has an excellent reputation around Fuquay Varina for building high-quality homes loaded with custom features and modern designs.

I’m thrilled to see this expansion of Sunset Glen by another trusted, local builder my clients know and love.

And Fuquay Varina's nearly 400 acres of parks and facilities are located just a quick drive away.

Public and Private Schools

Education is a key factor for many of my clients, especially those with children or planning to start a family.

That's why convenient access to A-rated schools is a huge draw for families moving to Sunset Glen.

Excellent public schools in the Wake County system serve the neighborhood, including the highly-rated Ballentine Elementary School located right in the community.
