Hidden between lush green trees and magnificent rolling hills lies Lochmere, a tranquil neighborhood known for its popular golf course and beautiful surrounding lakes. The neighborhood has long been a favorite among prospective homeowners looking to make this part of North Carolina their home. Situated only 15 minutes away from Raleigh by car, the neighborhood’s secluded, private atmosphere is one of the many reasons Lochmere is home to a diverse population, including professionals, families, and empty-nesters who enjoy outdoor recreation. 
 
Forming part of Cary, Lochmere shares the town’s railroad-centered history and formed part of an important stop on the North Carolina Railroad. After 1960, the town and Lochmere saw rapid growth, which spurred the town council to establish three immaculately preserved historic districts in the area. Today, Lochmere boasts a plethora of luxury single-family homes with beautifully kept yards overlooking the neighborhood’s expansive green spaces. As most homes were built in the 1980s, architectural styles skew to more contemporary designs.
