RALEIGH
Located in the heart of the Tar Heel State, Raleigh’s proximity to both the Blue Ridge Mountains and Atlantic Coast offer visitors an abundance of recreation options. In less than three-and-a-half hours, skiers and snowboarders based in Raleigh can enjoy a day on the slopes of one of North Carolina’s or Virginia’s ski resorts, or bask in the warm sun along the coast kissed by gentle breezes from the Gulf Stream. Raleigh’s temperate climate also offers golfers year-round opportunities to improve their swing. Located just down the road from where many believe golf in the U.S. was born – Pinehurst – there is something for every golfer from the beginner to the pro.
Hiking, biking, and fishing are popular activities in the metro area as well. Raleigh has been called the "park with a city in it" thanks to its award-winning parks, greenways system, and open space spread throughout the city and Wake County.
Raleigh and the Triangle also actively support the arts and are home to a full-range of cultural attractions including some of the most renowned museums in the Southeast. The BTI Center for the Performing Arts is one of the best in the country and has a venue for national touring companies, in addition to locally produced plays and attractions. Meymandi Concert Hall is home to the North Carolina Symphony and features world-class performers in both classical and popular productions. Raleigh and its surrounding communities host many smaller community centers, which offer endless cultural opportunities as well. During the summer, the Triangle takes advantage of North Carolina’s wonderful balmy evenings and beautiful sunsets by hosting performances in its beautiful outdoor theaters, parks, and gardens.
Raleigh and the Triangle is well represented in the sports world, and local fans are especially renowned for their enthusiastic support of Atlantic Coast Conference basketball and football thanks to our three "home" teams: the NC State Wolfpack in Raleigh, Duke Blue Devils in Durham, and University of North Carolina Tar Heels in Chapel Hill. Visitors will relish cheering for the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, Women’s United Soccer Association’s Carolina Courage, and the Carolina Mudcats Professional Baseball team in the nearby town of Zebulon, along with the local fans in one of our state-of-the-art sporting facilities like the RBC Center.
These are just a few of the activities Raleigh and the Triangle have to offer. With such a wide variety of popular attractions, travelers will find there is something fun and exciting for everyone who visits the "Smithsonian of the South." Chamber members represent a wide variety of visiting services in the metro area. Please visit the following link for a list of members.
CARY
Cary is a thriving community in the heart of the Triangle area of North Carolina, between Raleigh and renowned Research Triangle Park. The Triangle area repeatedly has ranked among the top regions in the country to live or work, to find a home or start a business, to raise a family or retire.
The January 2004 issue of Money Magazine names Cary, N.C. the hottest town in the East and one of six Hottest Towns in America.In August 2006, Cary was again recognized by Money Magazine as one of the Best Small Cities in America, ranking fifth on the magazine's 2006 list of Best Places to Live.
Cary weather
On the whole, Caryites are a blessed, hard-working group with one of the highest median household incomes in the state. And being no further than 20 minutes from major universities such as Duke, North Carolina State, and the University of North Carolina, it's no wonder that education is an important part of Cary life. More than two-thirds of adults hold a college degree. Nearly 9 in 10 citizens have access to the Internet in this, the Technology Town of North Carolina.
Cary embraces the best of city life:
Our sense of security - Cary ranked the 8th safest of 371 large cities nationally and the safest in the South during 2005. Its Police and Fire departments and Emergency Medical Services are nationally accredited.
Livability - Tree-lined streets and well-groomed subdivisions and office parks show Cary has grown the right way.
Vibrancy - Cary is home to world class businesses and national retail stores. Our fast-growing Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources program has something for everyone, regardless of age or interest.
Diversity - School-age children comprise nearly a quarter of Cary's population. Yet people of retirement age are the fastest-growing group in Cary. Fourteen percent of townspeople were born in another country, and the Asian population - Cary's largest minority - tripled during the 1990s.
A progressive approach to challenge - Cary is proactive. We're conserving drinking water by reclaiming treated wastewater for irrigation and industrial processes, preserving open space, and working with citizens and county leaders to make our schools even better.
Yet we've remained the Town of Cary while growing to more than 100,000 people.
At the Town of Cary, we focus every day on enriching the lives of our citizens by creating an exceptional environment and providing exemplary services that enable our community to thrive and prosper.
HOLLY SPRINGS
Mayor's Message
On behalf of the approximately 18,500 citizens of Holly Springs, I welcome you to one of the fastest growing towns in North Carolina. We are moving in nearly three families a day! Why, you ask? There are many reasons. We are a "customer friendly" town, and our citizens are our customers. In 2005, we were the safest in North Carolina among towns over 10,000. People just want to live here.
In 1990, our population numbered just under 1,000. Despite the rapid growth since, we still want to retain the best of small town life. We're addressing infrastructure needs such as water, sewer, and schools. Roads remain a real challenge. Our Public Works Department patches potholes and performs other maintenance that really is the state's responsibility. However, this is an issue elsewhere in the state and nation.
One of our goals is to increase commercial development to balance our tax base and improve our quality of life and the convenience of our citizens. We continue to make giant strides in commercial development. The pharmaceutical giant Novartis has begun working on a flu vaccine manufacturing facility here that will bring hundreds of well-paying jobs. Holly Springs Crossing and Harris Teeter Center are two other recent examples of development. More projects on the radar screen.
In 2006, we celebrated the opening of our new Holly Springs High School. We've completed a new fire station. A combination Town library and Wake County library opened in December 2006. We await the opening of additional medical facilities and restaurants, plus exciting additions to one of our crown jewels, Bass Lake Retreat Center.
Education, public safety, and quality of life remain the most important strategic goals for Holly Springs . As I have said perhaps too often, "If it's good for the kids, it's good for Holly Springs.” I think we have stayed the course on that concept. Our Town Staff and Town Board are working hard to build a town from the inside out. Watching this progress is exciting.
Please stop by and visit anytime. I am happy to talk with you and try to answer any questions you might have. You are also invited to reach me via telephone or e-mail. Holly Springs is a Town with an attitude, and that attitude is a positive one. If you are thinking about moving here, you will be welcome. It is a friendly place.
Dick Sears
Mayor of Holly Springs
APEX
Located in southwestern Wake County, Apex combines a relaxing small-town atmosphere with convenience to big-city amenities. It is positioned for future growth and the town planners are working to ensure that the small-town character remains while allowing for many new residents to join our community.
In 1994 Apex was named the state's #1 Small Town in economic vitality by Business North Carolina magazine.
A major streetscape renovation project has restored Apex's downtown and recaptured its historic flavor. The revitalized downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the best examples of an intact turn-of-the-century railroad town.
We invite you to join the hundreds of newcomers discovering our delightful small town ideally located in southwestern Wake County. Even though new residents relocate to Apex daily, we have maintained the small town character which is so unique in the rapidly-growing Research Triangle Area.
If you are one of our new residents getting settled into our community, or are considering a decision to join those relocating to our area, we hope this information will be helpful and facilitate an easy move to Apex.

FUQUAY VARINA
Located a scant 30 miles south of Raleigh and within living distance of the Research Triangle Park, Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina is a rapidly growing small town at least check with less than 8,000 residents. However, as the town’s proximity to growing educational and research industry expands, it stands to become one of the quicker growing and more attractive places to live in the area. There are dozens of reasons to consider Fuquay-Varina as a home for your family, but here are the best five.
Because it is in direct driving distance of so many prominent work locations, Fuquay-Varina is the perfect place to settle down for any employees in the Triangle, those who make their living in the Raleigh area. The city is a sprawling place and its surrounding suburbs are rapidly growing, but the small towns on the outskirts like Fuquay-Varina are still open and ready for the plucking, a perfect growing space for new families.
As a member of the Wake County Public School System, Fuquay-Varina has a rapidly growing and decently funded and growing educational system, the likes of which many small towns in the country should be envious of. The town’s growth along with the rest of the county has led to expanding programs and top notch education for all students, and the local colleges, including the likes of Duke, NC State, and UNC at Chapel Hill make Fuquay-Varina an ideal home for anyone with children.
With that moderate North Carolina climate, it’s never quite too cold and never quite too warm, so staying comfortable throughout the year is not a problem.
Growing right along side its Triangle neighbors, the town of Fuquay-Varina has a rapidly growing commercial and shopping district and the city itself, though it has less than 10,000 residents, services more than 30,000 in its urban area, making the city a growing hot spot for surrounding residences and shoppers.
But it’s not all growth and shopping in Fuquay-Varina. The growing town’s housing market is one of fastest growing in the area, but right along side the new developments and home prices that have still yet to skyrocket like some other growing cities, are historic and beautiful downtown districts with some of the nicest, cleanest streets you’ll likely see in the area.
Fuquay-Varina is one of those quaint little towns that aren’t really little anymore, but you couldn’t tell just by looking at it. For a small town atmosphere, big city access, and a wonderful place to live and raise a family, Fuquay-Varina is a great place to start looking.
