Academy Village Apartments - Unclaimed

Set amid the rolling Piedmont just north of Wake Forest, 27525 (Franklinton) blends small-town charm with easy US-1 access to the Triangle. Expect four distinct seasons—warm, sunny summers and mild winters—plus leafy neighborhoods and open skies that are great for morning runs and dog walks. The historic downtown, shaped by the old rail and mill era, has brick storefronts and a laid-back, neighborly feel. Day to day, renters shop at Food Lion in town and larger centers like Wake Forest Crossing and Gateway Commons nearby; coffee, barbecue spots, and Southern diners dot Main Street, while White Street Brewing and more dining options are a short drive away. Parks and green space are close—local fields and playgrounds, Joyner Park’s trails, and Falls Lake for boating, hiking, and biking—along with fitness options in Wake Forest. The area skews family- and pet-friendly with community festivals and quiet nights; according to Zillow’s Rental Manager market trends over the past few months, median asking rents have been steady with most listings clustering within a typical range by size.
