downtown
Downtown Holly Springs is located in the area surrounding Town Hall and the Leslie-Alford-Mims property, a 38-room mansion built around 1840.
The population growth Holly Springs is experiencing brings with it fast-paced development. In response, the Town’s attention has turned to the quality and character of development in order to ensure that the new development and redevelopment improves Holly Springs’ appearance and livability instead of detracting from them.
More emphasis is being placed on creating a downtown where people can live, work and be entertained.
The Village District Area Plan for the downtown area was amended in 2008.
Public schools in Holly Springs are part of the Wake County Public School System.
