Apex is a moderate-sized, close-knit town just west of Raleigh. It has everything you need, from a full-sized Costco to a street full of quaint, locally-owned businesses. It also has top-notch schools and welcoming citizens. My experience in Apex has been nothing less than great, I've met the kindest people and have shopped in the most amazing family-owned shops. The schools are big but fun, the teachers are understanding and kind. Every road is kept nicely and cleaned with care and new developments are always being built. Apex is equal distances from Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. There are tons of good jobs and the commute is generally short. Apex is a rapidly growing town, homes here are in high demand. Because of this high demand, prices of houses are going up, increasing the value of the town. That said, Apex is on its way to becoming the best town in eastern North Carolina!
I love my new hometown! I moved here 5 years ago. There is a lot of building and growth over this time and more to come. For me as a single older women I enjoy the charm of the town with shops and restaurants to enjoy. Overall Apex is a safe town. Many things to do with parks, Jordan lake activities, nearby concerts, in town farmers market Saturday mornings, tobacco trail, the greenway excellent for walking or biking. People are friendly too. I can see how the town motto is “Apex the Peak of Good Living” the town lives up to this. Thanks neighbors for making our town a wonderful place to live.
Apex is a peaceful town in North Carolina located about fifteen miles away from Raleigh. Apex is on the rise to becoming a more popular area with lots of new buildings (stores, apartments, etc.) being built, but throughout my experience here in Apex, I have not had one bit of trouble. There are lots of big chain stores to go to and plenty of restaurants to eat at. There are also plenty of places for entertainment such as Downtown Apex, Beaver Creek Commons, Apex Community Center, and more! I would consider Apex to be a fairly populated area, but not as crowded as Cary or Raleigh. If you are thinking about living in Apex, I would totally recommend it!
