If you’ve lived in or around the Triangle for any amount of time, you’ve probably noticed how fast everything is growing. New neighborhoods, road expansions, and more families are moving here than ever before.

One of the biggest drivers behind that growth is the 540 expansion.

In my newest YouTube video, I take you on a short but eye-opening drive through the Wilson’s Mills and Johnston County area to show you exactly what’s happening along the 540 corridor and why smart buyers and investors are already paying close attention.

🌳 A Quiet Area on the Verge of Big Change

What was once quiet farmland is quickly becoming one of the Triangle’s most promising zones for new development. With 540 connecting Clayton, Smithfield, and beyond, travel times to Raleigh and RTP are shrinking, and that’s a game changer for families who want more space without giving up convenience.

As new neighborhoods, coffee shops, and schools pop up along the route, it’s becoming clear that this isn’t just suburban growth. It’s a long-term shift in where people want to live and work.

💡 Why This Matters for Buyers and Sellers

If you’re thinking about buying land or a home in Johnston County, now’s the time to pay attention. Prices are still reasonable compared to Wake County, but as access improves and businesses move in, that window of opportunity is starting to narrow.

For homeowners, this could mean an exciting rise in property values, especially if you’re near future interchanges or new subdivisions.

In the video, I break down where the growth is happening, what to look out for, and how it could impact both buyers and sellers over the next few years.
