Bedford at Falls River Leading Wake County in New Home Sales

RALEIGH, NC — Bedford at Falls River (www.bedfordtradition.com), a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) in Raleigh, continues its run as the best selling community in Wake County. Wakefield Development Company, Bedford’s Developer, closed with 105 new home sales for the first quarter of 2005, the most sales in the Triangle.

Bedford led Wake County last year with 368 sales, and is currently on pace to break that figure. The master planned community will have over 1,850 homes when completed, and currently has sold 723 homes since its inception in 2002.

Wakefield Development has claimed many awards for Bedford's alluring community design and classic neighborhood setting. “After winning Community of the Year in 2004 from the North Carolina Home Builders Association (NCHBA), Bedford has come to the forefront as the Triangle's premier TND,” said John Myers, President of Wakefield Development Company.

Myers also credits the variety of new home options within the community for its success. “Bedford's homebuilders offer residents an incredible mix of choices for any lifestyle, so the community really appeals to all age groups.”

Bedford's sales numbers have also received a boost from the addition of three new phases of home styles. Earlier this year, the community introduced the Vineyard Collection by 1st American Builders, a neighborhood of townhomes exclusively designed to fit Bedford's traditional setting; the Riverwalk Collection, a neighborhood of low-maintenance single-family homes; and the Bedford Estate Collection, luxurious estate homes situated along the Neuse River.

Bedford at Falls River, a Wakefield Development Company community, revives the traditional neighborhood setting and atmosphere while combining modern conveniences of today’s homes.
