Questions & answers
Is Morrisville good for RTP commuters?
It is the best commute in the Triangle: 5–15 minutes to most RTP employers and 7–10 to the airport. Carpenter Village and Brier Creek are the sweet spots.
Townhome or single-family in Morrisville?
Townhomes dominate and rent fiercely to RTP professionals; single-family holds value better long-term. Your timeline and investor goals decide - I model both.
