Black Horse Run is one of North Raleigh's most unique subdivisions being geared toward horse owners and lovers. Each home site is roughly an acre with beautiful mature trees. Homes vary in appearance and floor plans. Square footage ranges from ~2,000 to ~5,000 square feet with 3-5 bedrooms and 2-4 bathrooms. The community is packed with amenities including a clubhouse, pool (with swim team), playground, two tennis courts, a basketball court, picnic areas, and walking trails. A special feature of the subdivision is the community barn. If available, homeowners can obtain a stall for their horse for a monthly fee. Some homeowners have private barns on their own property.
