A booming suburb with small-town character
As the town of Apex, North Carolina, has experienced a boom from 20,000 residents in 2000 to more than 70,000 in 2022, the West Apex neighborhood has experienced much of the new development. Single-family homes, town houses, and mixed-use developments have transformed the area from picturesque farmland to a bustling suburb with highly-rated schools and proximity to parks and greenways.
In 2015, Apex was named the best place to live in the country by Money Magazine, partially due to the small-town charm and community events. “People who live here are very proud of their town,” says Barbara Belicic, Small Business Specialist with the town of Apex and a West Apex resident since 2016. “They feel that small-town spirit, even though we don’t qualify as a small town anymore.”
The Apex water tower can be seen from almost everywhere in the Apex city limits.
You can still find some farmland and horse pastures in West Apex.

Events and festivals bring residents together

The yearly event brings residents together to for beautification and volunteer initiatives that range from digging up kudzu in public spaces to helping senior citizens with minor repairs and upkeep to their homes. The town also hosts cultural events like a Latino Arts & Culinary Festival as well as holiday get-together like a Juneteenth festival.
Year-round, residents can attend a community theatre production at the Apex Friendship Theatre, take in the public art exhibitions at the Halle Cultural Arts Center, or get their hands dirty in the community gardens.
Easy commuting to downtown and beyond
Although West Apex may be growing, the layout of the streets has prevented traffic from becoming too congested. “I have four ways I can get to my job in downtown Apex,” Belicic says. “Depending on what traffic is like, I pick a way, but it’s really never been a major problem.”
The GoApex Route 1 bus has three stops at the eastern edge of the neighborhood, connecting riders to downtown Apex. Commuters to Raleigh can either get on Highway 64, which makes up the northern boundary of the neighborhood, or Route 1 at the southern end to make the 30-minute drive. Raleigh-Durham International Airport is located 16 miles north of West Apex along Highway 540, and WakeMed Cary Hospital is located 8 miles to the east.
