A life of ease in Beaver Creek

Home to Beaver Creek Crossings mall and a multitude of big-box stores, the Beaver Creek area offers the largest commercial shopping district in the suburban town of Apex. “Anybody who likes convenience would be happy there,” says Thomas Wohl, a Realtor with eXp Realty. “You have a ton of commercial stores in a 2-square-mile area. It’s a good place for everybody, really: families with kids and older people.” Beaver Creek area is situated in the historic railroad town of Apex, which is experiencing rapid growth due to its proximity to Research Triangle Park (RTP) and Cary, which is Raleigh's largest suburb. RTP is the largest research park in the country, hosting 300 companies. The neighborhood also features nature parks, A-rated schools and souped-up subdivisions with amenities including tennis courts.

Big box stores and local eateries

From Target to Lowe’s to Panera Bread to Harris Teeter, retailers abound at Beaver Creek Crossings and Beaver Creek Commons shopping centers. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t new spots to be discovered. In fact, there are a few restaurants unique to the region. For example, Sweet Talk Cafe and Desserts brings Asian-inspired treats like bingsoo and croffles to North Carolina. The area has the only movie theater in Apex, plus the Fred Astaire Dance Studio and Sky Zone Trampoline Park. Additionally, many independent shops and eateries are less than 5 miles away in historic downtown Apex. For dining out downtown, Scratch Kitchen & Taproom has decadent and playful dishes such as lobster mac and cheese and pimento cheese wontons.

Fresh food grown by neighbors

Fresh produce, locally made food and crafts are for sale at the Apex Farmers Market, which was previously held at Beaver Creek Crossings. It has since moved to The Depot downtown, but luckily that’s just a short drive down the road — about 2 miles. The traditional season runs every week from April to October, while the remaining months are considered part of the winter season.

Subdivisions maintained by homeowner associations

Prospective homebuyers will primarily find townhome communities and sprawling subdivisions marked by traditional homes with two-car garages. Some of the neighborhoods, such as Walden Creek and Haddon Hall, are decked out with amenities including playgrounds and community pools. Most of the single-family homes here were built in the 1990s and 2000s and rest on compact lots, giving the streets that end in cul-de-sacs an intimate feel. However, there are a few neighborhoods with more sizeable yards of a quarter acre that provide more privacy. “Many of them are selling in less than a week,” Wohl says. A two-bedroom condo will start at around $250,000, while a two-story five-bedroom home will begin around $750,000.

Parks for all activities and events

At the 25-acre Kelly Road Park, residents can play a game of tennis or their kids can explore the castle-themed playground. The park is a trailhead for Beaver Creek Greenway, a 4-mile-long paved trail that’s popular among joggers, walkers and bikers alike. Following the path for about a mile, there's the Apex Nature Park and Seymour Athletic Fields, which offer an 18-hole disc golf course, a dog park and sand volleyball and pickleball courts. It’s also ideal for gatherings like birthday barbecues, an Indigenous People’s Day celebration and amphitheater concerts.

Hopping on highways for an easy commute

Wohl points out that the major highways in the area allow you to quickly get to larger metropolitan areas, such as Cary and Research Triangle Park, for work or a greater variety of entertainment options. “You can hop on Highway 55 and be to Cary in 10 minutes and Research Triangle Park in 20 minutes,” he says. While shopping centers make it easy to walk from one store to another, a car is needed to get around most of the neighborhood.
Highway 55 will get you to downtown Cary or RTP from Beaver Creek.
