It may not be spring just yet, but Flowers Plantation continues to bloom in a big way.

The 3,000-acre community south of Downtown Raleigh has taken root as a regional hotspot thanks to its ever-expanding hub of:

  • Single- and multi-family homes (at a variety of price points)
  • Shopping, dining, and entertainment options
  • Green spaces
  • Privacy
  • Walkable community amenities

With so much changing every year, let’s look at the biggest arrivals of 2024, and peek ahead at what 2025 has in store (including a major, mixed-use waterfront development on the way):
