We are proud to once again showcase our homes, display and sell treasures collected from our ten Triangle-area ReStores, and highlight some of the unique ways the community can support our mission.
Most people know that Habitat builds homes with help from donors and volunteers from the community. But did you know the Habitat Wake has partnered with local cabinet manufacturers to offer brand-new cabinets and design services for your next kitchen or bath renovation, with proceeds supporting our mission? Or that we have an Advocacy Ambassadors volunteer group to elevate affordable housing issues to elected officials? Or that our ReStores sell unique antique items?
Visit us at the 2023 Parade of Homes to learn how you can get involved and get ideas and inspiration for your own home projects -- all while supporting Habitat’s mission to build affordable homes!

About the Neighborhood: Old Poole Place
Old Poole Place is Habitat Wake’s newest neighborhood. This 105-home community is going up near the intersection of Old Poole Road and New Hope Road in Southeast Raleigh and will feature 60 single-family homes and 45 townhomes.
This will be our largest community to date built from raw land. Building multiple houses in the same community helps us cut down on transportation costs and infrastructure development. It creates efficiencies in our building schedule and material procurement and maximizes staff and volunteer resources. This contributes significantly to our ability to build these homes more affordably.
Join us today in making Old Poole Place a reality so that more families can come home to an affordable place to live!
What will the community look like?
Because of rising land prices and the lack of affordable housing in Southeast Raleigh, we are prioritizing providing a mix of single-family and multi-family options for homebuyers to choose. When acquiring the land, we looked at access to public transit, proximity to schools, availability of shopping centers, etc.
In addition, Habitat Wake’s advocacy team has been working to add access to the GoRaleigh transit center on Bus Way and public sidewalks on the main road at the entrance to Old Poole Place. Nearby amenities include groceries (1.2 miles away) and parks (.9 miles away).
