Heritage Pines Community

Heritage Pines is a unique and vibrant community (adult 55+) located in Cary, North Carolina. Established in 2000 to celebrate retirement, it is a “right-sized” community with 298 homes (houses and villas) on over 100 beautifully landscaped acres that include tree-lined streets with walkways and community ponds. Because of its unique size, all community members are invited to participate and enjoy all events offered at Heritage Pines.

We are ideally located within the North Carolina Research Triangle (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill) with a short car ride to shopping, RDU airport, premiere medical facilities, top-notch universities, cultural and entertainment venues, as well as greenways and hiking trails, kayaking venues, and golf courses.

Southern Living magazine named Cary, North Carolina as one of the top twenty-five of the South’s best cities on the rise. 

From the Cary (Town of Cary) website, “Money Magazine named Cary, North Carolina, the hottest town in the East and one of six Hottest Towns in America. Cary was also recognized by Money Magazine as one of the Best Small Cities in America, ranking an impressive fifth on one of the magazine's annual lists of Best Places to Live.”  

Heritage Pines Homeowners Association 

At Heritage Pines, enjoy a relaxed lifestyle as your monthly Homeowner Association (HOA) fee includes some property maintenance and lawn care, full use of the clubhouse and athletic facilities, and full participation in its many social activities. Our onsite management company is located in the clubhouse.

Functioning as an HOA means that we are a self-governing body under the management of a resident Board of Directors elected by our homeowners. Assisting our board are committees such as Grounds, Clubhouse, Social, Architectural Review and Finance, run entirely by community volunteers. 

Heart of the Community – Clubhouse and Recreational complex

Heritage Pines is a close-knit community where making new friends is easy and neighbors are friendly. The community clubhouse and recreation complex are the heart of our community where social events and activities happen. Everyone is invited to participate.  

Our clubhouse has a library, game room with pool table, arts and crafts room, catering kitchen, a well-equipped fitness center, and a large event room. Each month a resident artist’s work is featured in the clubhouse. 

The Recreational Complex, next to one of our scenic ponds and gazebo, includes an outdoor pool and hot tub, and sports courts including tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, and shuffleboard.
