Cary is a very nice area to live. There are many great schools around for children. There are also numerous unique community programs for children, adults, and seniors. Cary has a great variety of restaurants in addition to the shopping opportunities. The American Tobacco Trail and greenways throughout the town provide a great way to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. There are also several outdoor events throughout the year that are great for the whole family including food truck rodeos, music concerts, and festivals. Overall, Cary is a great place for individuals, couples, families, and even pets as it provides exceptional opportunities and a welcoming community feel!
Cary is a wonderful place to live overall! It is right next Research Triangle Park (RTP), which is filled with many companies like Cisco, IBM, & Biogen. Also, the Wake County Public School System provides many opportunities to K-12 kids. Also, the colleges located in NC are amazing! The choices range from Duke, NCSU, UNC Chapel Hill, & much more! In the community, there is always something to do. Downtown Cary has many activities to do like reading a book at their newest library, learning new things at the Cary Arts Center, or enjoying ice cream at a local ice cream parlor.
I have lived in Cary, North Carolina all my life, and love it. As someone who loves the outdoors, there are lots of trails, lakes, and hiking locations nearby or in Cary. There are also so many different restaurants with every type of cuisine! I really enjoy how kind residents are, and appreciate how respectful people are.
