The Abbington market right now

Wake County property records list 11 Abbington home sales recorded from October 2025 through September 2026. They ranged from $718,000 to $1,194,000, and the median was $850,000.

For context, Redfin's ZIP 27502 had a median sale price of $525,000 in the three months ending September 2026, down 8.7% year over year, and homes sold in about 39 days, compared with 28 days a year earlier. For all of Apex, Redfin shows a median sale price of $569,729 for the same period, down 2.6%, with a median of 38 days on market, and 44.7% of Apex listings had a price drop.

What it means: Abbington sells well above the ZIP median, since its homes are larger and sit on bigger lots. With only about a dozen sales a year, each listing gets a close look, so condition and price matter.

Assigned schools

The Wake County Public School System assigns schools by address. For the 2026-27 school year, the three Abbington addresses we checked (on Witheridge Court, Bryant Pond Lane and Chanticlair Drive) were assigned to:

  • Elementary: Olive Chapel Elementary (year-round calendar)
  • Middle: Lufkin Road Middle (year-round calendar)
  • High: Apex Friendship High

WCPSS lists Olive Chapel Elementary and Apex Friendship High as capped for 2026-27. A newly enrolling student at a capped school may be placed at the overflow school, which WCPSS lists as Turner Creek Elementary and Apex High for these addresses. Assignments can change every year, and nearby streets may differ. Run the exact address through the WCPSS address lookup. Some schools that serve this area run on a year-round calendar. Check the current assignment with the WCPSS address lookup, and see how year-round and traditional calendars work in Wake County.

Buying in Abbington: what to check

  • Home age. Most homes were built from 1997 to 2008. Ask about the roof, HVAC, water heater, windows and any crawl space or moisture work.
  • Section and HOA. Find out if the home is in Hadley, Windsor or Stratford, and confirm the HOA dues and rules that apply.
  • Pool membership. Ask how pool access works and if it is part of the dues.
  • US 64 side. Homes near the highway side may hear more road noise. Visit at rush hour.
  • Schools. Check the exact address for the current school year, including cap and overflow notes.

Selling in Abbington: what buyers ask about

  • Updates with dates. Buyers expect a 20-plus-year-old home to need work, so a newer roof, HVAC or kitchen stands out.
  • Lot and yard. Larger lots are a draw here. Show the yard in good shape.
  • Dues and what they cover. Have HOA details ready, including how pool access works.
  • Price. Homes in ZIP 27502 took about 39 days to sell in the latest Redfin period. A price based on recent Abbington sales of similar size helps you sell on your timeline.
