Heritage
Heritage is Wake Forest's flagship master-planned community — a walkable, New Urbanist-influenced neighborhood with its own downtown green, schools, and a Bob Moore-designed golf course.
How Heritage actually lives.
Heritage lives like a small town. Kids walk to elementary; parents run into each other at the coffee shop on Heritage Green; the golf course is a ten-minute walk, not a drive. Social life runs through the amenity center and the club.
Families relocating to the Triangle who want a real sense of neighborhood and an easy transition for school-age kids.
