About Fuquay-Varina

Fuquay-Varina might not be the simplest city to pronounce (FEW-kway və-REE-nə), but it's possibly the easiest to call home—which is why the town has reached almost 35,000 people (double the size in 10 years). The town has a reputation of being one of the safest places to live in North Carolina, yet it's just a short drive away from big-city access in Raleigh or Durham. Despite its rapid growth, Fuquay-Varina is determined to hold on to its cultural identity and small-town charm. Fuquay’s downtown historic district features a long-term economic development plan that perfectly blends the old with the new. You'll find historical buildings mixed with modern amenities that strike a delicate balance between preservation and convenience. If craft beer is your thing, you'll be in paradise. The town boasts 7 breweries, all within 2 miles of each other, and it's the type of place that serves local beer at the neighborhood ice cream shop.
