A NEW DISTRICT SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD IN FAYETTEVILLE
Drake Farms is a 165-acre mixed-use neighborhood district emerging in Fayetteville—designed not as a single development, but as a natural extension of the city itself. Over the next 15 years, this long-term, multi-phase community will thoughtfully unfold, bringing together homes, healthcare, offices, locally owned businesses, and preserved green space within a walkable, people-centered environment.
Shaped by the character of the land and the culture of Fayetteville, Drake Farms is rooted in the belief that neighborhoods should feel lived-in, layered, and enduring. Streets are designed for connection. Green spaces are preserved to honor the landscape. Everyday needs are placed within reach.
DRAKE FARMS IS A RETURN TO THE ESSENTIAL WAY OF NEIGHBORING.
Imagine a life where connection is woven into the everyday: taking a stroll through the hundred-year-old walnut grove, walking your kids to school in the morning, grabbing coffee with a coworker, riding your bicycle to the office, or being greeted as a regular at your favorite local spot.
This is our vision for a neighborhood built on genuine connection, where you know and care for your neighbors, and where the spaces between the buildings are just as important as the buildings themselves.
Drake Farms is a return to neighborhood living – a community thoughtfully designed for life, work, and neighbors to come together.
