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. The neighborhood gets its name from a former shopping mall, which has been demolished. “Cary is a family-friendly town with incredible greenways and frequent events,” says Ellen Pitts, Realtor and owner of Harmony Realty Triangle, who makes guides on life in the North Carolina Triangle. 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.

Houses primarily sit on curving, shaded streets with cul-de-sacs, and forests offer residents privacy from the busier roads that border the neighborhood.

Three-bedroom Colonial Revivals built in the 1980s cost about $580,000. Along with single-family homes, there are also subdivisions. Luxury Craftsman-style townhomes built in 2018 can cost $670,000.

Artistic playgrounds and paved walkways at Cary Downtown Park
After 20 years of development, Cary Downtown Park opened in late 2023. “The whole park has been redeveloped into an artistic, community-focused area. It has a dog park adjacent to an open air beer and wine bar, plus water features, walkways and natural playgrounds for kids. Plus, it’s in the same complex as the library,” Pitts says. The park is 2 miles northwest of Cary Town Center. Walnut Street Park is located near the neighborhood’s southern edge and offers a walking trail, playground and basketball and pickleball courts. The neighborhood also hosts opportunities for indoor recreation ¬— the Triangle Aquatic Center has a public pool that hosts swim classes and group fitness programs.

Support local artists at the annual Spring Daze Arts and Crafts Festival
The neighborhood benefits from its central Cary location. “There’s always something wholesome to do in Cary. The town is always putting on very family-friendly events,” Pitts says. Cary has two annual art festivals. The Spring Daze Arts and Crafts Festival takes place in the spring, and the Lazy Daze Arts and Crafts Festival happens in August. Both festivals showcase local artists and feature live music, craft tables and food. There are numerous seasonal events as well, like The Great Pumpkin Carve, a fall event with pumpkin-decorating stations. During December, Cary honors all major holidays with a Christmas parade, menorah lighting and Kwanzaa celebration.
