Online, the houses look almost the same. But they're not the same. In this video, I put them head to head in 4 rounds: shopping and dining, homes and prices, the commute into Raleigh, and growth. You'll see where the $60,000 price gap really comes from, why a Wake Forest address doesn't always mean you're in Wake Forest, what's going in next to The Point in Rolesville, and which town I'd pick. Would you rather live someplace smaller like Rolesville with a faster commute to Raleigh, or Wake Forest with more to do but more traffic? Tell me in the comments. Thinking about new construction?
