55 Modern Farmhouse Townhomes Coming to North Raleigh
Durant Towns will include 55 townhomes developed by Lock7 Development of Washington, D.C. The collection is already under construction and is expected to deliver homes as early as April 2023. Presales are underway.
Raleigh, NC – Chappell and Lock7 Development are proud to announce a new, modern, farmhouse-inspired collection coming to North Raleigh. Durant Towns, located at 8700 Wadford Dr, will feature 55 turnkey townhomes with prices starting in the high $300ks.
Minutes from namesake Durant Nature Preserve, this collection offers easy access to Greater North Raleigh and Wake Forest via I-540. Because of this, homebuyers can anticipate a leisure-forward, active lifestyle in a hyper-connected central Raleigh locale.
The collection offers two functional floor plans, each boasting 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plus extra flex space within 1,670+ SQ FT of light-flooded living. Outside, each residence offers a spacious backyard patio and convenient site parking. Every fixture was curated to fit the elevated energy of each space — designed to offer future homebuyers the flexibility & functionality associated with a brand-new build.

“Most townhomes at this price point only provide two levels of living, we’re excited that our townhomes have three full living levels,” said Dave Gorman, Principal of Lock7 Development. “This layout is perfect for someone who wants a home office, has a roommate, or simply wants a bit more privacy between their family members.”
“We’re excited to help bring more housing to the Triangle market, and Durant delivers that in a big way,” said Johnny Chappell, Owner and Broker of Chappell. “This collection is centrally located in Raleigh with close proximity to parks, greenways, and more, plus you’re a short drive to retail and dining at Triangle Town Center. Couple that with connectivity to major roadways and you find yourself skipping across, or out of town, in a flash. On top of that, Lock7 continues to deliver a premier product with quality construction. We’re excited to get the ball rolling.”

Durant marks the fifth collaboration between Chappell and Lock7 in the past 36 months. The Stephenson, a contemporary condo community located in the heart of the Village District, launched in 2020 and quickly gained sales momentum. Later in 2020, the two firms launched 615 Peace, a boutique collection of condos located in the heart of Glenwood South, which is nearly sold out. The two firms are also partnering on North & Broadway, a boutique condo collection located in Downtown Durham, where sales efforts are currently underway. Lastly, Lock7 & Chappell are also working on a large community in Chapel Hill located on Estes Drive featuring more than 100 residences. More details on that project will be released at a later date.
Chappell is the real estate broker for Durant Towns, and Lock7 Development is developing the property. Concept8 is handling construction, while Tightlines Designs is the architect. For more information on Durant Towns, visit duranttowns.com or contact 919.877.6868.
