Apex

A charming downtown, good schools and lively sense of community

The town of Apex is a shining gem in the glittering region referred to as the Research Triangle. The sparkling facets of small-town charm, friendly people and progressive businesses have launched this community into the national spotlight. Recently named the # 1 "Best Place to Live in the US", Apex offers stellar reasons to find a home here and settle down.

From humble beginnings as a railroad depot back in the mid-1800, Apex grew into an active trading and shopping center for nearby farms and the timber industries.

The rise of the Research Triangle Park attracted high-tech firms from around the world. This great influx of newcomers began to reach Apex in the 1990s, and it hasn't slowed since.

Relocating people find a charming downtown, good schools and a lively sense of community. The many festivals draw not only "townies", but also many others seeking to celebrate small-town life, coupled with cultural excitement. The Halle Cultural Center and wonderful neighborhoods contribute to a spirit of community unparalleled in the region.
