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.

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.
