Auburn Village 

Auburn Village is a 55+ community in Raleigh. It’s good to know that this community has a Raleigh address, but it’s situated halfway between Garner and Clayton. It’s feels a little bit in the country, when you drive out there but it’s only 20 minutes to downtown Raleigh, and only 10 minutes from White Oak Shopping Center in Garner, which has every big box store you could image. 

When I pulled into the parking lot of the community center in Auburn Village, I could immediately feel the energy. Maybe I just caught it at a good time, but people were walking in from around the neighborhood. Others were parking their cars and heading into the community center with friends. It was just bustling with activity. When I got inside, the front desk was manned by a receptionist. There was a group of gentlemen in the billiards room playing a game. And  there was a ladies group setting up for an event in the event hall. Overall, I kind of felt like I didn’t want to leave. I could see a place like this being home.

There was also a large outdoor pool area, with a huge covered veranda filled with tables. Everything outside was closed for winter, but I asked if they served food during the season because it really felt like the patio of a country club restaurant. But they didn’t serve food. I expect people play cards or maybe bring coolers while they lounge around at the pool in the summer. Find homes for sale in Auburn Village.
