EXPLORING ABANDONED BANKRUPT NEIGHBORHOOD of CARY, NORTH CAROLINA *FOUND MURDER CRIME SCENE* 🏚🏚🏚

On the road I come across an ABANDONED NEIGHBORHOOD, bankrupted and left to rot away. Houses here are still in great shape and it was a real surprise to see that there was still quit a few things left inside. I also found evidence of people living in some of them, which is no surprise at all. Enjoy!

[@lincoln169]

America = Money First. A developer bought those homes whatever else is going on is unknown.

[@GlurglePop]

It costs ALOT to maintain a home. There’s a reason we don’t shell out abandoned homes to the homeless. One, most aren’t safe, and if one is, it will likely become unsafe quickly. Someone has to pay for water, electricity, sewage, maintenance upkeep, property tax, mold remediation. The sad fact is that many homeless aren’t capable of handling those responsibilities. I mean look at how the people who were living in that house treated it. Tearing things off the house to burn.

[@lesliedeana5142]

@@GlurglePop I think though, instead of letting things rot, if they were given the house, and as long as they tried to maintain it, things would be a LOT better. Many people would LOVE to have a home, with pride, but just can't get the down payment.... Many could keep it once they got it. it's just the 'getting it' is the problem. And, just because someone is 'homeless' doesn't mean they are bad people, it could be lost money for medical, divorce, etc. Given the chance, they could become homeowners, and even rent out a room or two to keep things going. Just letting something nice deteriorate does no one good.

I went out there today (12/8/2018) because youtube randomly suggested this video yesterday. The entire street/neighborhood is gone and replaced by Wake Med, which is an extension of the hospital across the street. It's close to finished but still under construction. The name of the street has been changed to something like Wake Med Drive but Google still has it listed a Guernsey Trail. I live in Raleigh now but grew up in Cary, so it was neat to see this video capture a neighborhood much like the one I grew up in.

Just to clarify to the newer posters, they did not abandon their homes and were not bankrupt. This was a block buy out by a medical company and it was redeveloped. It seems they all got a good deal way above market value and moved on to continue their lives. Now a medical centre and supporting buildings are on the land. I hope wherever the previous home owners moved to, it was not near such a noisy road as that would drive me nuts :)

[@nicholepriesta5941]

I use to live on Guernsey Trail where this video took place. Nothing is haunted, nobody went bankrupt so stupid... we simply could not resist the offer from Cary Medical so we all sold on the same day. On the last day with the street lined with moving trucks we had a block party in the street. It was a very sad day as most owners were original to when the street was built and our kids grew up together. One by one each moving truck pulled out away from what we once called home to disperse to the left and to the right on Kildaire Farm Rd to start our new life in a new neighborhood. It's very sad to drive down the street and see was once called home trashed from people with no respect.

Squater's dream! Running water, carpet, fireplaces to stay somewhat warm, even a mattress in one of the homes. So crazy that those houses are sitting there like that and with running water?!? Wish we knew the families' stories.

[@jd-no7rw]

We do, there are articles about this area on the internet. A big developer wanted to buy the property and the hospital across the street wants to put in senior housing. All the neighbors agreed to sell, and moved out. They were likely well compensated, and most of the building materials from the houses were donated to Habitat for Humanity. No real mysteries here. From what I hear, there is a large sign at the end of the road telling exactly what is going on, but none of the videos I've seen show it.

[@DanglingDingleBerry]

OJ McClanahan- WTF are you talking about, "abandoned for 20 years"? The last families moved out in December of 2016. These homes haven't even been abandoned for an entire year yet, much less 20 of them. The building of the nursing home and medical facility has already started. And that police tape isn't from a "murder scene", it was put up by the landowners/developers to keep some idiot from falling through the missing floor and into the basement and suing them for millions of dollars. The floors were ripped up due to asbestos being used in the construction. You aren't allowed to just demolish buildings full of asbestos, the asbestos has to be carefully removed before demolition so you aren't launching billions of cancerous asbestos particles into the air for everyone within 20 miles to inhale.

[@Surrfside24]

just to make more sense of it for ya, it wasn't always that noisy, there used to be lot more trees between the highway and the houses but they tore a bunch down in 2015. and a noise barrier wasn't a good option for the location, i know this video poster made it seem like this wasn't in a busy area but this actually sits in the heart of a very busy commercial zone and that highway has a alot developed on it and expected lots of more growth so be pointless to build a wall on it since we'd end up tearing it down shortly after for more constructions.

No a nearby hospital offers to buy the neighborhood and every home owner agreed to sell. Now all the houses are sold and the hospital put hospital buildings in the area.

"The entire neighborhood agreed to put their entire community up for sale as commercial property. The reason for this, some neighbors are saying, is because Cary has experienced such rapid development. Twenty years ago, that area of Kildaire Farms Road wasn't so busy and built up. Unhappy with the fast pace of growth, but not always able to afford to just up and move, sometimes neighborhoods create this kind of solution. So the rapid expansion of Cary is partially to blame. These are nice houses -- according to Zillow, many are worth between $250-300k. The company that bought the neighborhood is planning to raze the houses and build a senior living community."

I checked out the houses on Zillow. Two people held out on selling their properties until March and April 2017 and made millions. One on Guernsey Trail and the other on Hereford Lane in Cary, North Carolina. One made over 3 million and the other almost 3 million. The others only made a few hundred thousand for theirs. The properties are right across the road from WakeMed Cary Hospital.

I must add, that TV, we had one, though it had turn dials, when I was a little girl. I was the "channel changer," I also had to lean over the TV to change from UHF to VHF, the process was with one cable with I swear an attachment on it that resembled a jumper cable lol!!! We had 5 channels. It was late 70s early 80s. Consoles were the deal!! We never switched to Plasma or LCD or whatever until we had to for cable, but we still have older TVs that were from late 90s to 2000s that work with cable so great deal :)

The bank will let a home sit for years before selling it. I see so many properties rotting away from bank foreclosure. You did a good job commenting and pointing things out! A few of the homes had 70's decor. The orange counter top is one example. The mirrors were popular in the late 80's.

Same thing happened to my grandparents house. An airport wanted to expand so they bought all the house for like 5 times there value. Homeowners had the option to take less and have the house moved but houses are never the same once moved. So my grandparents took the money and moved.

[@tinarowena]

This was my first RNK All Day video. I stumbled across it late one night, It remains one of my favorites. There is something sad and haunting looking through these houses of what once was.

[@ChipGuy]

I wonder if the people moving away has anything to do with this awfully loud highway in the background.

[@verleguntrumjr.2787]

I think of these homes as I thought of my own, the way the excitement of buying and moving into your new home captured your emotions. Seeing this, makes my hart sink to only imagine how these folks' dreams were shattered. Shattered quickly enough to leave your pictures and purge those memories.

[@dwiganstube]

don't worry they were payed well for their homes and their memories and some are probably living in bigger newer homes by now.

It's very sad that these will eventually be destroyed instead of renovated. There is a severe housing shortage within a 30 mile radius of Cary unless you can afford $250K+ for a home that would be $70K in the small towns within easy commuting distance of Greensboro.

If there’s one thing I learned from watching Rehab Addict is to recycle or give cabinets, doors, windows, built ins to Habitat for Humsnity. I understand if the hospital bought out the neighborhood but recycle all you can for people that are low income that need houses upgraded!

[@johnbouley4514]

Did you notice the balloons were still floating? There sure was someone there not to long ago!

[@billsmith5166]

Foil balloons can last for years as long as they aren't punctured. They aren't porous like rubber based balloons.

[@mindyours7035]

They usually at least deflate a little especially with temperature change

[@billsmith5166]

It will vary in volume, but it probably won't lose more helium. Helium expands with heat and contracts with cold. Expansion limits have likely already been reached since it has gone through at least one seasonal cycle, so they have likely deflated (as in gas loss) as much as they will due to over-expansion (and they may not actually have deflated in that way all if the pressure hasn't been sufficient to escape the envelope.). A deflation, (as in volume decrease by cooling) won't affect it's lift capacity in a fixed air pressure environment However, if released into the atmosphere, the balloon will likely eventually explode because the higher it goes, the lower the relative external air pressure, the volume of the helium may expand beyond the strength of the envelope.

Michelle Williams...How many homeless persons have you dealt with? Not many, or you would know that most homeless simply do NOT want a home & prefer to live free on the streets for whatever their reason. Some have dropped out of society. Some are mentally ill. Some are running from the law. Many different reasons.

We use to have the best times in that house. Hard to believe that was 27 years ago, it seems like yesterday. The road these houses are on is the only road in the neighborhood. What a shame that what was once a very nice neighborhood is like it is now. I don't understand why people would leave their beautiful homes. I'm definitely going to check and see exactly what happened.
