Apex is an amazing community to be a part of! I have lived here for almost 30 years and have watched this town grow from a tiny town with one grocery store, to a thriving and bustling community. Apex is known as the "Peak of Good Living" and it fully lives up to that name. We have the amenities of a city, while still retaining our small town feel. There are no strangers in Apex. Everyone helps everyone, no questions asked.
Apex is wonderful town, especially for those with children. The schools are wonderful and provide many great opportunities. There is also a delightful downtown with lots to do including restaurants, a coffee shop, and most importantly, and ice cream place! It also also gorgeous here—the streets are lined with trees everywhere you go.
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!
