About Del Webb at Traditions

Del Webb at Traditions is in Wake Forest, in the Triangle: Raleigh, Durham & Chapel Hill region of North Carolina. Developer: Del Webb. Status: Open. Age-restricted (55+ community; occupancy rules are set in its recorded governing documents).

Del Webb at Traditions is a Del Webb community in Wake Forest, north of Raleigh. Its homeowners association says the community has 455 homes and operates under a resident-controlled board of directors. The association describes the plan as pocket parks, water features, a greenway, a dog park and a community garden, with the Regency Manor amenity center at 1301 Monterey Bay Drive as the hub.

Regency Manor is 18,000 square feet and, per the association, holds a fully equipped gym, an indoor pool, a coffee bar, a catering kitchen, a varsity room, activity rooms and a dance studio. The rear patio has an outdoor fireplace and an outdoor kitchen with two gas grills. Outside are lighted tennis and pickleball courts, bocce and horseshoes, and a dog park and walking trail along Dunn Creek.

The lifestyle side is staffed. The association lists a full-time Lifestyle Director who supports more than 50 interest-based clubs and stages events, and a Wellness Director and trainers who run exercise and wellness programs, including aqua aerobics. The community information page publishes staffed hours for the amenity center (Monday to Friday 7 am to 9 pm, Saturday 8 am to 9 pm, Sunday 10 am to 6 pm) and building hours that open earlier for fob holders.

Homes were offered in nine floor plans, which the association's house information page lists with the original builder's ranges: from 1,655 square feet in the smallest plan to as much as 3,689 square feet in the largest, with two to four bedrooms. The page notes these brochures show options the original owners could select, so a resale home may differ from the brochure.

Location is a selling point the association emphasizes. Its flyer says downtown Wake Forest, a walkable historic district with galleries, coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques, is about 5 minutes away and Raleigh is less than 30 minutes away. The community's street maps are published for both Wake County and Franklin County, which matters for property tax; see the Wake Forest page. Regional context is on the Triangle region page.
