Turner Farms - Genteel Estate Living in Garner


“Have you been looking for a great home in a perfect neighborhood? “ I asked.


“Of course! Isn’t everyone?” she said incredulously.


While there are many fantastic neighborhoods in the Triangle area, the rural Turner Farms neighborhood in Garner ranks with the best. Turner Farms offers that genteel Carolina lifestyle you expect at a price point you can live with.


The original 1200 acre development was conceived in the early 1970’s as an estate subdivision with a generous set-aside for natural areas. The ribbon pavement roadways seem to meander around the rolling topography and forested preserves. The homes range from around 1,700 to over 4,000 square feet, and have been built to accommodate any size family. The home styles tend to be traditional, with welcoming front porches, long driveways, and acres of shady yards. Homes were built as early as the 1980’s and there are several areas still under construction - a true testament to a well maintained development and solid property values.


Turner Farms neighborhood amenities include a huge swimming pool and clubhouse, tennis courts, playground, picnic area, and lots of mature trees in the preserve spaces for the nature-lover in you. Regionally, Lake Benson and the Neuse River offer beautiful opportunities to get outside. And, despite the country-like setting, there are lots of shopping options close by.


Speaking of close by, it’s all about Location, Location, Location, right?


Not only is Turner Farms located along Benson Hwy in Garner, it is perfectly situated near a proposed interchange with the Southern Wake Freeway, currently in the planning phases. Easy access to this section of Interstate 540 will be a huge benefit to access job centers in Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Raleigh, and even Wake Forest.
