Apex is a nice, little-but booming- town. Construction happens everywhere- new schools, supermarkets, and various buildings. One of my biggest concerns for this town is that it is growing too fast. There is lots of traffic in some areas, especially because of construction- and they have to widen the roads very often. However, the city itself seems beautiful. There are lots of parks and greenways. Culture is very diverse, people love to travel here from many different states-even countries! It is very family friendly, one of the best places to live in the world! There is just so much opportunity here.
Great town, but the expansion causes construction EVERYWHERE! Not a lot of places to hangout here, but important shopping complexes are only 15 minutes away on average. Great experiences here!
There are so many amazing places to eat in Apex and the amount is growing fast, everywhere you go there's somewhere to eat, which is important to teenagers like me. Apex, NC has been my home since I was 3, I am now 17 and love it here. Though I am leaving for college next year, I can honestly say I am going to miss this place. I have loved afternoon trips in the summer to Jordan Lake to go swim with friends and set up eno hammocks to hangout. There are so many places to shop at from your neighborhood petsmart in beaver creek, to the nail spas in haddon hall commons, you have anything and everything you need just a few miles from your home! The police here are extremely friendly as well, which makes me feel safe and secure when I am out driving by myself. My parents originally even moved here just because of how happy they knew their children would be growing up in a place as great as the "#1 smalltown to live in America" according to money magazine.
