Knightdale, North Carolina

Community
A multitude of reasons to love Knightdale.

The citizens of Knightdale are evenly mixed between those who have raised several generations of family here and others who have moved into some of the wonderful new subdivisions in the community. Both of these groups are united in keeping Knightdale's small town character as a trademark. Knightdale is known as a very safe community that is a great place to raise a family. With its high quality of life, strong sense of community and small town atmosphere, newcomers to Knightdale will feel immediately welcomed.

Since Raleigh is only four miles west and a straight shot on US Hwy. 64, Knightdale residents are able to enjoy the cultural, athletic, recreational, educational, employment, and shopping benefits of a large metropolitan area while at the same time maintaining the sense of community that can only be experienced in a small town.

The Knightdale Environmental Park is a nature trail system with picnic areas and a trellis structure. Knightdale has an active Parks and Recreation that provides sports programs for over 1,000 children annually. The Town of Knightdale, Wake County Public Schools, and Wake County Parks and Recreation have formed a joint partnership to develop the new Knightdale High School and Elementary School and the Town's new 70-acre community park complete with baseball and soccer fields, swings, picnic tables, and an outdoor amphitheatre that will be located on the comer of Horton Road and Forestville Road.

Sense of community is strong in Knightdale. There are many community organizations and civic groups, as well as several churches that are well established and provide great support to the community. Knightdale's citizens have shown their ability to band together to provide quality growth and economic development while retaining that small town atmosphere that has escaped so many other growing towns.
