Garner is located approximately 8 miles south of Raleigh, the capital city of North Carolina. With a population of over 25,000, and its close proximity to Raleigh, Garner is a place that has a small town feel with uptown access to everything Raleigh, the Research Triangle Park, and other areas have to offer.

Garner offers quick access to the Triangle's first class universities, The Research Triangle Park, Atlantic Coast Conference athletics, professional sporting events, and world renowned golfing events. Along with quick access to everything the triangle area has to offer, Garner residents can be at the beach, on the eastern coast of the state in approximately 2-3 hours. They can also travel to the mountains, in the western part of the state of North Carolina, in approximately 4-5 hours. Ask our residents what they like about Garner and you will find that many say they enjoy the small town atmosphere, that the area is less congested, and that they have all the benefits of city living, as well as, the enjoyment of many parks, recreational activities, arts and entertainment right here in their community.

On Main Street, the Town Hall is a center of activity. The brick building with a large cupola and clock that faces an outdoor plaza beckons residents for family fun. Family activity can be found in a local park or downtown, enjoying a movie or concert in the summer months or the seasonal events like Easter Egg Hunts and the Happy Holly Days Parade. The community’s balance of commercial and residential development, its reasonable prices and proximity to the triangle and its small town charm all add to the many reasons why Holly Springs is a great place to call home.
