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!
I am a high school senior that has been living in Apex for over 15 years.
Apex, in summary, is a small, yet stable suburban area with no major hiccups in terms of safety/health. The crime rate in Apex has, for as long as I can remember, been low, with minor incidents being identified quickly and shut down even quicker by local police and fire departments.
Apex also sports many parks, bicycle paths, fields, playgrounds, etc. which are great areas to either take a walk with the family or exercise. Public schools in the area are relatively small, but the smaller classes allow for more one-on-one attention for children. Affordability in Apex depends on house size, with smaller houses in closer-knit neighborhoods usually costing less than bigger houses in open areas.
As for nightlife, downtown Apex is known for its bustling streets and variety of small businesses, restaurants, etc. Diversity is also encouraged and expressed through parades and events often held in the area.

Apex is a phenomenal place! We moved from Michigan, so obviously we've enjoyed the warmer weather.
There are many restaurants and fun places to eat. If you like walking, there are also many greenways in the Apex/Cary area to enjoy. Many parks for kids. You have a lot of shopping options as well. Close access to Research Triangle Park, Raleigh, Durham, or Chapel Hill.
