Carolina Preserve sits at 115 Allforth Place in Cary, North Carolina, right in the middle of the Triangle near Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, and it's a big Del Webb 55+ active adult community with around 2,300 residents living in 1,360 homes spread over peaceful hills, big trees, and quiet streets, and you'll find it's part of Amberly, so residents use all the Amberly amenities too, like their clubhouse and swimming pools for everyone. The main clubhouse, called Bradford Hall, covers 35,000 square feet and you see all sorts of spaces in there, like arts and pottery studios, a dance studio, a game room, and a library, and they've got both indoor and outdoor pools-the saline lap pool is indoors and sometimes used for water aerobics-and there's also a relaxing spa and plenty of nearby walking paths. There's four clay tennis courts, four shaded turf bocce courts, two outdoor pickleball courts, and a modern fitness center with equipment for both cardio and weight training.
The community runs different group meetings and clubs, usually on scheduled days like Monday mornings from 10:00 to 11:30, and it's counted over 100 groups and regular activities, which are nice for getting people together and staying busy. People get a lot of choices in recreation, so there are outdoor programs, movie nights, music events, and pottery classes, and the community hosts events in various rooms and outdoor spaces to make socializing easy and activities accessible. For medical and support services, Carolina Preserve offers both independent living and options for care, with services for assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing as part of a continuing care setup, and a team helps with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, with a 24-hour call system for emergencies.
Homes here often come with useful features for comfort-private bathrooms, high-speed internet, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, and a phone in each room, with furnished room choices available too. Dining options include all-day and restaurant-style dining, and special diets for needs like diabetes or allergies-there's also a dining room where residents can meet up for meals. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and a concierge are part of daily services, and staff give extra support to families when needed.
The place has things like game rooms, fitness rooms, wellness spaces, a movie theater, and several pocket parks, and it's all set up so everyone can get outside or join in with community-sponsored outdoor programs. There's also a blood flow restriction therapy, dry needling, sports injury care, personal training, and stretch therapy-specialists like DPTs, PTs, and PTAs provide clinical services, and the site has received awards for physical therapy clinics in Wake Forest for several years, with two locations nearby. The American Tobacco Trail is close for those who like walking or biking. The community's nonprofit management keeps things running smoothly, and everything is designed to help retirees, empty nesters, and active adults enjoy independence, recreation, and support whenever they need it.
