Nestled just north of Durant Rd off Falls of Neuse Rd, Radcliffe is a charming suburban community developed beginning in the early 2000s.

The area was originally wooded hills before being purchased for an upscale residential neighborhood by Curtis Properties. They sought to create an enclave of spacious homes with scenic views.

The first homes built were primarily large brick Georgian, Colonial, and European-inspired designs on acre+ lots tucked back into the pine and hardwood forests.

Home sizes range from 4,000 to over 6,000 square feet on 1-3 acre parcels. An active homeowner's association maintains standards.

Today, Radcliffe contains around 80 homes showcasing upscale architecture.

Towering oaks line the streets, complementing the rolling topography. The lush landscape gives Radcliffe a private, welcoming feel minutes from major Raleigh thoroughfares.

Some of Radcliffe's most notable areas include:

Winstead Drive - Lined with elegant brick Georgian and Colonial homes ranging up to 6,000 square feet on wooded 1-2 acre lots.
