Regency at Holly Springs at a Glance
Regency at Holly Springs is Toll Brothers' 55+ community in the 27540, opened in August 2023 and still building toward roughly 225 homes off US-1 and NC-540. I'm Tim Clarke — Certified Residential Pricing Specialist, 18 years selling Raleigh-Durham real estate — and in the Triangle's active-adult market, this is the community with the strongest amenity story I can point to.
What the Numbers Say
- 36 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $851K, ranging $599K to $1.14M
- Around a dozen active listings at a time — new construction and early resales trading side by side
- Two collections: Journey (1,644–2,370 sq ft) and Excursion (2,115–2,910 sq ft), first-floor primary suites standard, 10-foot ceilings
The Dual-Amenity Model
The Regency Core
The private amenity campus opened in 2025: resort pool with sundeck and cabanas, a clubhouse with ballroom, lounge, and catering kitchen, a fitness center, and lighted pickleball, tennis, and bocce courts — all run by an onsite Lifestyle Director with a year-round calendar. Lawn care is included.
Plus 12 Oaks Country Club
Here's the part no other 55+ community in the area matches: every Regency home includes a social membership to 12 Oaks Country Club next door — the Jack Nicklaus-designed course, its dining rooms, resort pool, and trails — upgradeable to a full golf membership. Two amenity ecosystems for one address.
Shopping and Daily Errands
Holly Springs Towne Center handles the weekly run with Harris Teeter anchoring, and downtown Holly Springs — breweries, restaurants, the farmers market, HollyFest in the fall — is about four miles out. Cary and Apex retail sit just up NC-55.
The Commute Math
From Regency: 31 minutes to Research Triangle Park, 33 to RDU Airport, about 34 to downtown Raleigh. For the 55+ buyer, the more telling numbers are the four miles to downtown Holly Springs and the golf cart to 12 Oaks.
Buying or Selling at Regency
New-construction communities create a specific resale question: how do you price against the builder still selling next door? It's a math problem my team and I solve regularly — option-load, lot premium, and design-studio dollars all move the number. If you're comparing Regency against the Triangle's other active-adult options, browse every 55+ listing or watch this community — and when you're ready, my team and I will walk you through Journey vs. Excursion economics before you sit down at the sales office.
