Johnston County and 
South Wake County Communities

The Johnston/Southern Wake County area has undergone a major transition over the past three decades, leaving a rural landscape behind while ushering in a new era of economic development and expansion largely fueled by healthcare and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Once known for being a leader in agriculture and farming, the region now plays host to companies with names like Novo Nordisk, Talecris Biotherapeutics, Novartis, and Hospira, all large players in the biotech industry.

Located at a national crossroads, midway between New York and Florida on Interstate 95 at its intersection with I-40, Johnston County is only a two-hour drive from Atlantic coast beaches and a four-hour drive from the Blue Ridge Mountains. This prime location and progressive development made Johnston County a great choice for relocating families.

Southern Wake County also has a sought-after location, offering a short drive from the Research Triangle, including Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary and RTP. Being so close to so many vital points of both the state and the nation make the area desirable to both young professionals and established families alike.

“Residents of Johnston/Southern Wake enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the area,” said Jackie Miller, Holly Springs resident and business owner. “Many professionals work in the Triangle area, as well as those working with companies in the immediate area. Many have lived in the area all their lives, but there is still a large number who have moved here from out-of-state or from even other areas of the Triangle.”
