These "second ring" suburbs exhibit somewhat less variety in housing types, unit sizes, lot sizes, and densities than found in Heritage and New Classic Neighborhoods, but more than that found in Contemporary Neighborhoods. Location Classic Neighborhoods radiate outward from the Heritage Neighborhoods, extending north towards Weston and SAS office parks, south to Penny Road, and west just past NC Highway 55.
