Bedford at Falls River has been continuously recognized for its small town appeal since its initial development and the awards just keep coming. Named Community of the Year three times by the North Carolina Home Builder’s Association, Bedford at Falls River was honored again last month when national publication Where to Retire named the community to the America’s 100 Best Master-Planned Community list for the second time. A 25,000 square foot retail and professional complex called The Shoppes at Bedford Square will soon house a variety of businesses and services. An additional 10,000 square foot day care facility will be adjacent to the shopping center, and the new traffic light at Dunn Road and Falls of Neuse has improved traffic patterns for the community. For the homeowner seeking an active lifestyle, you’ll be happy to learn that eight miles of greenway trails will begin construction in January 2008. Wakefield Development Company began developing the master-planned community in 2001 with a focus on encouraging community interaction and small-town appeal, made available to people of all ages and backgrounds. Neighbors in Bedford are often found walking down its shady, tree-lined streets, sharing in friendly conversation. The idea of neighborly socialization is built into the framework of the community, where wide front porches encourage casual interaction and the town center features an iconic clock tower and public area. Outside of homes, neighbors give a friendly wave to families on bicycles. The quaint village atmosphere conjures images of small town U.S.A. only minutes away from the conveniences of Raleigh. Life can truly be lived to the fullest in Bedford. Visit our website
