Suburban living near The Research Triangle
With “park” in its name, it’s unsurprising that the Cary Park neighborhood would be surrounded by green spaces and walking trails. “Residents like to ride their bikes on the tobacco trail and walk or ride horses on the greenways,” says Theresa Lunt, Broker and Realtor with Exp Realty who specializes in the West Cary area. This community was one of the first planned developments in Cary and features a wide range of homes, from townhouses to large custom builds. It also boasts amenities like pools and a clubhouse. “A lot of people choose that particular area because it’s beautiful, it’s walkable, and it has great schools,” says Carrie Guerreiro, a Broker with Heathstrings Realty. “It’s a very attractive area for families.”

Larger homes with five to seven bedrooms will start at $800,000 and can go as high as $1.8 million, especially if it’s located near Cary Lake Park.

Schools in Cary Park rank among the best in the state
Part of the Wake County School System, school zones here are dependent on location. Many schools have an enrollment cap, leading students to attend overflow schools. Possible elementary schools include Mills Park Elementary and Hortons Creek Elementary, both earning an A grade on Niche. Mills Park Middle and West Cary Middle also earn A scores. Green Level High and Panther Creek High are A-plus rated high schools that both offer Advanced Placement and dual-enrollment classes for students to earn college credit. “People will call me and say, ‘I want to live here so my son can go to Panther Creek,’” says Lunt.
Green Level High School has many great athletic teams and after school clubs.
Mills Park Elementary follows a traditional calendar year.
