Fuquay Varina tourist information
Welcome to a town where elected officials are not shy in letting it be known they want to maintain the dignity of a hometown atmosphere by blending economic development and community preservation. Fuquay-Varina -- a town people sometimes have problems pronouncing -- is making a name for itself. Nestled in the southwest corner of Wake County, Fuquay-Varina is one of the state's most ideally located small towns, centrally located between the Piedmont and Coastal Plains regions of North Carolina and just 15 miles from the state's capital city of Raleigh and a 35-minute drive to Raleigh-Durham Airport and Research Triangle Park. The town serves a region encompassing over 45,000 people.
An air of genuine friendliness is openly evident between residents and those who work in and visit the community. Although the town has experienced substantial growth, Fuquay-Varina remains the kind of town where new families feel at home. The allure of the small town with wide open spaces in a rural surrounding has attracted many newcomers.
Whether enjoying an elegant lunch at the local tea room, listening to the award-winning high school band, treasure hunting in local antique shops or cheering for their favorite athletic teams, Fuquay-Varina citizens are enormously proud of their community.
While the town's early strength and pride came from its mineral springs and tobacco-rich land, high tech industries and innovative businesses balance today's economy. The town enjoys an enviable 50-50 growth rate, meaning the burden of taxes is shared equally with business and industry, not weighted on home owners.
Aided by an annual average temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, residents will readily confirm Fuquay-Varina's comfortable climate. An innovative spirit of enthusiasm and community participation is evident throughout the area, demonstrated through the involvement of more than 40 civic clubs and organizations in and about the town.
