Close to the action, with charm all its own
Offering residents a blend of urban excitement and suburban charm, North Cary is located just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the Raleigh-Durham area. With Cary itself being one of the most popular suburbs—not just in Raleigh but in all of North Carolina—residents looking to claim a piece of this growing suburb can look forward to a sense of community and charm on top of the standard advantages living close to a metropolitan area offers. And though closer to the action than some of its surrounding neighborhoods, North Cary is still distanced enough to provide excellent outdoor opportunities. “It’s just a really appealing place to be,” says Scott Korbin, Broker with Compass Commercial and former resident of North Cary. “You have the option of venturing out or staying close to home, and you have all you need either way.” With its blend of charm, access, and space, North Cary makes sense for those who want to be a part of the fastest growing area in North Carolina.

Highly sought after homes with classic style
Homes in Cary can be tough to find, with the area’s population having grown considerably in recent years. “Inventory is low throughout Cary,” says Korbin. “And it probably won’t change for a while.” As such, prices are higher than other areas in the Raleigh-Durham area—though, crucially, still lower than the national average. Featuring several subdivisions and communities within the neighborhood, each has their own unique feel. “Overall, the style of the area is very much a mix of traditional and craftsman,” says Korbin. “But there are a lot of newer custom builds, too.” Areas like Silver Creek and Cary Pines feature tree-lined streets ending in cul-de-sacs and are comprised primarily of styles like modern contemporary, as well.
Many homes in North Cary have gorgeous landscaping.

Downtown Cary makes staying close to home easy
Those looking for shopping and dining options will have plenty to choose from in neighboring Raleigh and Durham, but Cary itself has plenty to choose from. The Arboretum Retail and Restaurant Center has a variety of big box retail chains, boutiques, and restaurants to choose from—including a Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Downtown Cary is known for its personality and style, with local favorites like Bond Brothers Beer Company serving as a great place to get award-winning brews with friends. Grocery needs can be met at nearby Waverly Place’s Whole Foods Market. Weekly farmers markets also allow for fresh produce pickup and help lend to Cary’s charm. Further developments are coming, leading to a feeling of excitement in the town. Downtown Cary Park, opened in 2023, has botanical gardens, playgrounds, dog parks and "The Bark Bar," which sells beer and wine.

Over 200,000 visitors to the annual Chinese Lantern Festival
With over 200,000 guests annually paying visit, the Chinese Lantern Festival is one of the area’s biggest events and takes place every year at nearby Koka Booth Amphitheater. Allowing visitors to take in the stunning art pieces at their own pace, each lantern was handcrafted and represents some of the finest Chinese artisanship. In addition to the Chinese Lantern Festival, Koka Booth Amphitheater also hosts smaller events like cooking competitions, beer festivals, concerts, and plays.
Cary schools earn all A's
Students in North Cary begin their education at Reedy Creek Elementary, before moving on to Reedy Creek Middle and finishing up at Cary High School. According to Niche, all three of these schools earned ratings of A-minus—making the school district a popular reason for moving to the area. “The schools are very, very good,” says Korbin. “We’ve had people relocate to Cary just because of that.” Cary High School offers a number of extracurricular activities and clubs, with many of them focused on career preparedness after graduation.

Hemlock Bluffs provides pristine views
Even with new development on the horizon, North Cary still offers more than enough opportunity to appreciate the surrounding natural beauty. Nearby Hemlock Bluffs Park features over 200 native Hemlock Trees, something not found in North Carolina outside this area. Black Creek Greenway connects several North Cary neighborhoods and offers a walkable way to get around. In fact, Cary is considered a silver-level community according to WalkFriendly—making strolls one of the selling points of the neighborhood.

Central location makes commuting easy
Location is a key feature of Cary in general, and North Cary is no different. Residents can easily commute to Durham at 20 miles away, and Raleigh is even closer at just 15 miles. North Cary is also particularly great for those working at Research Triangle Park, with the neighborhood shaving off several minutes in comparison to some Cary neighborhoods farther south. “You’ve got better proximity to urban areas and the highway,” says Korbin. “It’s a great, centralized location.”
