Nestled among Apex, Cary and Fuquay-Varina, all towns experiencing growth from the heavily populated Raleigh and RTP areas, Holly Springs is rapidly growing. As of the 2010 census, the town population was 24,661, over 2½ times its population in 2000.

While the town welcomes growth, leaders also are determined to control the quality and placement of new developments while preserving open space and creating public areas. One of the recent focuses has been on encouraging commercial development in downtown Holly Springs.

Holly Springs ranked seventh nationally and the top small city in N.C. in the financial advice website WalletHub's analysis of 30 key indicators of livability.
