Just minutes from Raleigh and Research Triangle Park, Cary is a growing city in and of its own, with a population of over 100,000 residents. And with those residents come numerous accolades for the town’s quality of life – repeatedly over the past ten years, Cary has ranked among the top regions in North Carolina to buy a house or raise a family, start a business or even retire. Money Magazine even names Cary as the Hottest Town in the East and one of the six Hottest Towns in America (January 2004).

Almost a quarter of Cary’s population is made up of children ages 5 to 19; the next largest age group is retirees. This means there’s something for everyone, from sports for the kids to elegant nights out on the town. Cary offers numerous cultural activities, including the ongoing outdoor Summerfest featuring the North Carolina Symphony; theatre and dance presentations; museums and historic events; festivals; plenty of restaurants and shopping, family activities and more. The town also prides itself on its nationally recognized record of safety, diversity among residents, and concern about the environment and preserving open space. An additional note: Cary has been named the safest city in the South and consistently strives to manage smart growth while incorporating the greenways and tree-lined streets that are so much a part of this town.
