If you ever are driving through Southern Wake County maybe headed down 401 South to Fuquay Varina or towards Clayton on HWY 42 you may pass through a stop light or two in a rural setting you may wonder if you are in a township or just a forgotten rural area.  Willow Springs or Willow Spring (without the (S)) as some say is just that.....a hidden bedroom community with many subdivisions with large lots, a rural setting, but only 5 minutes from Fuquay Varina.....OR about 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh.  A lot of people have overlooked Willow Springs because there is no Target there, no Wal-Mart, no Food Lion or Harris Teeter; it is so small the only thing it actually has is a Post Office...a very small one.  But in today's Real Estate Market that is exactly what some buyers are looking ... 06/10/2009
