Whoa! Look at this! West Cary at a price point that is getting harder to find. Welcome to 3217 Kempthorne Road, a 1,808-square-foot townhouse in Fryars Gate at Highcroft offering 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a one-car garage and flexible living space across three levels. Listed at $385,000, it gives buyers a chance to live in West Cary with quick access to RTP, Durham, Raleigh, RDU and major Triangle employment centers. Inside, the main living level is open, bright and easy to live in, with updated wide-plank flooring, tall ceilings, a gas fireplace and a kitchen with granite countertops, upgraded dark cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, recessed lighting and a large island. The refrigerator, washer and dryer are included, making move-in a little easier. The first-floor flex room gives you options for a home office, workout room, media space or second living area, with direct access to the patio. Upstairs, the primary suite features a tray ceiling, two closets and a private bath with dual sinks and a tiled shower. A second bedroom, full bath and laundry complete the third floor. One of the best features may be what is just outside. The rear deck and patio back to a wooded setting, giving you a quieter outdoor space while still being close to everything. Fryars Gate offers a community pool, clubhouse, playground and sidewalks. The location is tucked just far enough off the main roads to feel residential, yet it is close to NC Highway 55 and Interstate 540 for easy access across the Triangle. Nearby destinations include Research Triangle Park, RDU International Airport, Cary Tennis Park, Thomas Brooks Park, YMCA facilities, shopping, dining and everyday conveniences. Other Fryars Gate listings also note proximity to employers including Cisco, IBM, Lenovo, Fidelity Investments, MetLife and other RTP-area companies. If you want West Cary convenience, community amenities, flexible space and a wooded setting without stepping into new-construction pricing, this one deserves a closer look.

West Cary, located between NC-540 and US-64, is a suburban and master-planned Cary neighborhood with greenway corridors and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Green Level Church Rd and Morrisville Pkwy crossroads, where local plazas, studios, and cafés set a steady, weekday-to-weekend rhythm. Bond Brothers Beer Company anchors the area’s social calendar, with live music and food trucks in a warehouse-style taproom. Nearby, Downtown Cary’s Cary Arts Center adds performances and exhibits in a restored civic building. Housing trends toward newer townhomes and single-family streets with sidewalks, buffered by wooded creeks and trail links.
