It lies 1.5 miles north-west of Cary, NC (from Cary, NC: bearing 309°T), and is situated 9.4 miles west-north-west of Raleigh.

Sunlight, when it breaks through the canopy of oak and hickory, falls in broad, luminous shafts, illuminating the subtle greens and browns of the countryside. The character of Hazelwood is one of quietude, a place where the rustle of leaves and the distant hum of a tractor are the prevailing sounds, a gentle counterpoint to the more insistent noises of larger settlements. It is a place where the land itself seems to hold a patient, enduring presence. The history of Hazelwood is intertwined with the agricultural heritage of this region, a legacy evident in the scattered remnants of older farmsteads and the enduring practice of cultivating the fertile soil. For generations, families have worked this land, their lives shaped by the seasons and the bounty of the earth, contributing to a local economy that has historically relied on crops and livestock. While modern development has brought new enterprises, a foundational connection to the land persists, a subtle undercurrent shaping the rhythm of daily life. The proximity of larger educational institutions, though not directly within Hazelwood, influences the broader cultural milieu, bringing a dynamic exchange of ideas that occasionally touches even this more secluded corner of Wake County.
