Peaceful living near urban attractions in Cary
While it may not be directly in the middle, Cary Town Center offers convenience and amenities near the heart of Cary.

Situated 2 miles from downtown Cary, the neighborhood offers access to frequent community events, highly rated schools, and popular restaurants while maintaining a peaceful, suburban feel.
