Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: The Triangle

Rolesville leads North Carolina in new housing construction, with 22.0% of homes built since 2020—more than any other city in the Triangle. This data comes directly from ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates. The report reveals a clear pattern: new housing is not spreading evenly, but concentrated in one city, signaling a strategic shift in development priorities. This concentration may be key to maintaining affordability in the broader Research Triangle, where housing pressure remains high. For context, this data is not from Zillow, Redfin, or any real estate board—only from the Census and ALEX Intelligence’s proprietary analysis. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-02-triangle-new-stock-share-place-mkt Share of Homes Built Since 2020, top 10 (ALEX Intelligence — U.S. Census Bureau 2024) #1 Rolesville — 22.0% #2 Wendell — 16.2% #3 Holly Springs — 10.0% #4 Apex — 9.7% #5 Hillsborough — 7.7% #6 Garner — 7.0% #7 Knightdale — 5.8% #8 Briar Chapel — 5.4% #9 Selma — 4.3% #10 Roxboro — 2.8% Photos via Wikimedia Commons: Slide 1: Progress P (CC0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=188294324; Slide 2: Pithon314 (CC BY-SA 4.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=100496945; Slide 3: Ke4roh (CC BY-SA 4.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=93722159; Slide 4: James Willamor (CC BY-SA 3.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=57353631 Source: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-02-triangle-new-stock-share-place-mkt View and join any or all of our communities — AI, quantum, and real estate: https://alex-companies.com/reports/linkedin-groups If there's an AI, quantum, or real estate community you'd like to see us convene, tell us — this portfolio grows by request.
