⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We just purchased our new townhome with DRB Homes, and the entire experience has been wonderful. From the very beginning, Jenn, who helped us through the sales process, was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to answer all of our questions. Jenn made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and easy, and we always felt like we were in good hands.
The townhomes themselves are beautifully built with great attention to detail, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and design. They truly feel like home already.
We’re so excited about our new place and grateful for Jenn’s guidance every step of the way. We highly recommend DRB Homes—and especially working with Jenn—for anyone considering a new home!

This community has exceeded my expectations in design, location, and value.
Here’s what I love most:
There’s plenty of room both to live and entertain. The open-concept main level flows beautifully between kitchen, dining, and living areas, making it ideal for hosting friends and family. The lanai is a great space with privacy overlooking the woods.
It’s under 1 mile from a great mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment in North Raleigh. Daily errands are easy, commuting is reasonable, and the proximity to RDU airport is another bonus. For someone who wants a balance between peaceful residential life and access to amenities, this fits the bill.

These are likely the worst floor plans I’ve ever seen, literally ever. 1st floor, short garage attached to a glorified mudroom and a sad corner cramped full bath, no access to front door, 40% of downstairs is the stairs. 2nd floor A shaped stairs going up and straight down the other side to access the front door, a dark narrow cramped stair well to welcome your guests in dungeon fashion. The 2nd floor has an incredibly cramped living room with the most shallow sofa you’ve ever seen to try to add the appearance of room, a poorly laid out kitchen where you must bring all groceries up either inconvenient staircase, and a small bathroom, nothing else. The 3rd floor is a tiny master and pathetic tiny shower smaller than the 1st floor with no counter space, another super small room as second bedroom with tiny closet, and then a glorified linen closet with 3 windows and a crib for the 3rd room, no possible way to layout any living space due to windows and door placement, not even a decent office space, and then another tiny full bath cramp and crammed in there with laundry.
Effectively, 38% of this “house” is stairs with 2 places to sit down.
Your front yard is a road, or a major road with heavy traffic, your backyard is someone else’s house or the extremely busy highway, no yard, you basically live in a parking lot attached to a highway. Even the realtors there don’t have any positive spins to make it seem less awful and know they’re desperately hoping you’re foolish enough to buy one with no chance at resale against the vast other options for new construction or existing homes. And what should effectively be a starter home for someone with bad credit and no money, starts at $550k-$560k, add current mortgage rates, not even bought down rates to help fool you into thinking this is a decent purchase, this house will likely drop in value immediately upon ownership. Build quality is atrocious, materials and appliances are cheap at best, location wouldn’t be as horrendous if it weren’t for the highway you’re directly against with the smog and noise, and the constant traffic from 6 schools and 4 churches directly in front of you, and the cliff drop off walking path around you with standing water is great for mosquito breeding.
I honestly couldn’t imagine what the planning and review for these plans and placement were. Who signed off on these designs? Who priced these out? Have they actually looked at what they built since construction started? Who looked at these and said “yea these are worth over half a million dollars especially when you compare it to the comps around Bayberry. You can get such a better home new or existing for the same or less money extremely close by. You can have an actual yard and real rooms with space, you can have a better layout, you can have a house that isn’t mostly stairs, who thought 4 staircases in a small 3 story house was a good idea?
My wife wanted me to add that the decorator did a good job with her style of colors. I must add they had to be amazing to create the illusion of space with narrow and shallow sofas and furniture. Nothing you own will fit and a regular sofa will eat up all your room cramping you further. There’s an electric fireplace due to the fact code for a gas one would require more room space for framing and safety would eat up the very limited space.
These are the worst townhouses I’ve ever seen, I won’t even compare it to houses. I sincerely feed bad for anyone that ends up buying one of these. Please look around before you waste $600k on a shoebox with stairs and pay a fortune on interest and property city taxes forever. I hope you don’t fall into one of these townhomes, or down all of the flights of stairs.
Again the decorator did a great job, unless you’re hiring them to do your place, it’ll look and feel even smaller than it does. I’d be embarrassed to have friends and family over to entertain in this space. I’m truly worried and sad for anyone looking to experience home ownership, community, and comfort, ending up here and regretting it instantly.
