Development
The original farm was 4000 acres. The area developed is 3000 contiguous acres and is presently being annexed into the community of Flowers Plantation. Walking trails are constructed with each phase of development to connect each neighborhood to the next. The final plan has over four miles of connections by walking and bike trails.
Maintaining the rural and farm atmosphere has been given the prime significance here. There are 100 ft buffers along the Neuse River Parkway, which “hide” the communities and give a feeling of woodlands everywhere. Roads constructed are designed as “Parkways” instead if streets on the main drives.
Schools
There are two elementary public schools within the 3000 acres. East Clayton Elementary opened in 1996 and River Dell Elementary, named after the community’s development company, opened in August of 2003. Future plans include a private educational facility.
