Situated just north of Raleigh's city limits, Stonebridge is a master-planned neighborhood nestled within 790 acres of rolling hills and dense forests.

Development first began in the late 1990s led by builder Curtis Properties who saw potential in the area's natural wooded beauty and proximity to major highways like I-540.

The initial homes constructed were primarily brick Georgian and Colonial style single-family residences on spacious lots.

Over 20 years later, Stonebridge contains over 520 homes but still retains its lush, secluded feel.

Though the neighborhood is nearing full build-out, a few vacant lots do remain for customized homes.

Covenants maintain architectural standards and ensure homes complement the area's scenic landscapes dotted with mature hardwoods.

The community also offers amenities like two pools, tennis courts, a soccer field, playgrounds, and walking trails around a lake.

Notable Areas and Features

Stonebridge comprises several distinct sections, each with its own appeal:

Sheffield - One of the first areas built, Sheffield offers traditional two-story brick homes on acre+ wooded lots. Homeowners enjoy privacy and separation from neighbors.

Kensington - With homes dating primarily from the 2000s, Kensington provides a mix of brick Georgian, Colonials, and more contemporary designs on smaller lots.

Bexley - Bexley contains some of the neighborhood's newest construction with modern single-family homes and luxury interior features.

The Estates - This exclusive section features custom-built homes on multi-acre lots tucked back into the woods for maximum serenity.

The neighborhood also contains a clubhouse with a fitness center. And its naturalistic setting allows for encounters with wildlife like deer, foxes, and birds.

Top Nearby Restaurants

Just outside the secluded confines of Stonebridge lie plenty of excellent dining options, including:

Vivo Italian Kitchen - For delicious Italian cuisine, Vivo serves up favorites like chicken parmigiana, lasagna, and handmade pastas. Their happy hour is popular.

Nantucket Grill - Nantucket Grill offers an extensive raw bar and New England classics like lobster rolls, clam strips, and jumbo shrimp scampi.

Bloomsbury Bistro - This contemporary American bistro crafts seasonal dishes like seared scallops, braised short ribs, and duck confit. Their cocktail menu excels.

Jake's Diner - Jake's is a top choice for weekend brunch with hearty American breakfast fare like omelets, pancakes, and home fries.

Cucina Italiana - For intimate upscale Italian, Cucina Italiana serves homemade pastas, veal chops, seafood, and more. Their wine list shines.

Accessibility and Convenience

Despite its secluded location, Stonebridge provides relatively easy access to major Raleigh destinations.

It sits just north of the I-540 beltline, allowing quick transit to employment hubs like Research Triangle Park in 15 minutes and downtown Raleigh in under 20 minutes.

Raleigh-Durham International Airport can be reached in 25 minutes as well.

For shopping and entertainment, Stonebridge is close to major malls like Crabtree Valley, North Hills, and Triangle Town Center (10-15 minutes).

The neighborhood allows residents to balance suburban comfort with convenience.

Its secluded setting, convenience to Raleigh's top employers and activities, and strong homeowner association make it one of my top recommendations. Contact us today to begin your home search!
