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.

Newly constructed homes in subdivisions
Much of the housing stock in Friendship was built within the last five years, and homes fit snugly on green lawns in subdivisions. The Friendship Station and the Retreat at Friendship are two major developments in the neighborhood with single-family homes and townhouses. These homes, like others in Friendship, include two-story, new traditional homes with four or five bedrooms costing between $600,000 and $700,000. “We just opened up the Retreat at Friendship, right next door to us [at Friendship Station]. It has the exact same features. We’re building 1,1100 homes in the area, and it’s a big project,” Lane says. “Between the communities, we will have two cabanas, two pools and walking paths.”
Many of the newer houses near Friendship have 4-5 bedrooms.
New Traditional homes are common in the newer subdivisions around Friendship.

Highly rated schools attract area newcomers
“People moving to this area go online and discover that we have some really highly rated schools,” Lane says. “We also have great charter schools like the Triangle Math and Science Academy nearby.” Apex Friendship Elementary School, Apex Friendship Middle School, and Apex Friendship High School are within walking distance of each other on Humie Olive Road. The high school also has its own performing arts center, Apex Friendship Theater, which hosts community theater productions for students to participate in. The elementary school, which first opened in 2022, is not yet rated by Niche, but the middle and high schools both earned A grades.
Apex Friendship Middle school has the highest student to teacher ratio in Wake County.

Pleasant Park, Apex Nature Park and the American Tobacco Trail
“Pleasant Park opened up a few months ago. It’s a really cool park. A lot of the kids have already gone,” Lane says. Pleasant Park has six turf fields used for its soccer leagues, public pickleball and basketball courts, and a splash pad. For a peaceful outdoor escape, Apex Nature Park just north of the neighborhood has park amenities like a playground and disc golf course, as well as three miles of walking trails through scenic woods. The park also has a lake where visitors can canoe and kayak. Locals enjoy more hiking on the American Tobacco Trail, a 22-mile regional trail system that crosses through the west side of the neighborhood. Visitors park and enter the trail via the New Hill-Olive Chapel Road access.
Pleasant Park just opened in 2023, it has activities for people of all ages including soccer.
The American Tobacco Trail is a 10-foot wide, paved and gravel trail in the Triangle.
