Cozy Apex neighborhood with new residential developments
Friendship is an Apex neighborhood bursting with new subdivisions. New developments and Friendship’s location make it a desirable spot for families and professionals. “People are moving here for the proximity to schools and convenience to anywhere in the Triangle,” says Emily Lane, on-site sales rep for M/I Homes, one of the major builders in Friendship. “We’re only about 15 minutes to Research Triangle Park, so we have a ton of people who work in the tech industry.”
The Friendship neighborhood is a great place to raise a family.
Apex was named for its location as the highest point on a portion of the Chatham Railroad.
