Increasing numbers of people are coming from all directions to relocate to North Carolina and with good reason. The weather is milder than most climates, the people are friendly and the employment is plentiful; but one town in the Triangle Area is gaining considerable notoriety. Apex, NC was recently ranked the 14th best place to live in the United States by the editors of Money Magazine in their 2007 Edition of the 100 Best Places in America to Live.

History in the Making

Incorporated in 1873, the town of Apex was given its name for being the highest point on the Chatham Railroad between Richmond, Virginia and Jacksonville, Florida. Today, Apex remains one of the most intact railroad towns in the state of North Carolina. The town suffered some minor setbacks during the Depression-era; however, it began to see growth again in the 1950s. Now,with a population of just over 30,000 people and a slogan that reads, “the peak of good living,” Apex has gained considerable attention since the ranking was released nationwide. Today Apex has approximately 18 movie theaters, over 1,500 restaurants, 70 golf courses, 26 libraries and five museums, which is not too shabby!

Curb Appeal

People relocate all the time, but part of what draws people to Apex, NC is the fact that it is in close proximity to North Carolina’s renowned Research Triangle Park. More importantly, however, is that the fact that despite how the town has grown over the years, it has still managed to preserve the small-town character that so many people love.If you’re looking for a home in the Apex area, contact us at Buyers Advantage so we can help!
