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!
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.

I love Apex’s small town feel and family oriented atmosphere! It is a short drive to bigger cities in the area, like Raleigh. Apex consistently ranks within the top 10 cities to live in North Carolina. The neighborhoods here are also great and very welcoming!
