Characteristics

Transportation

The favored transportation option in Apex is usually a car. The majority of properties for sale are a reasonably short drive from the closest highway, and it is very convenient to find a parking spot. Apex is not especially conducive to people who travel as pedestrians as few daily needs can be met without a vehicle. This part of the Raleigh metropolitan area is also not very bike-friendly since the cycling infrastructure is not very extensive, and riding is made strenuous by the typically steep area.

Services

Primary schools are convenient to reach as a pedestrian from any location in this town. However, it can be very difficult to reach high schools without the need to get in a car. Along with public schools, there are also private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. Regarding food, home buyers in this town will be pleased to learn that a grocery store is always only a rather short pedestrian trip away. Moreover, Apex is a good place in which to eat out, and a limited variety of coffee shops is available as well.

Character

Home buyers who prefer a relaxed atmosphere will enjoy Apex. Green spaces, such as American Tobacco Trail and Kelly Road Park, are very well-situated and there are over 100 of them nearby for residents to visit, which makes them easy to get to. This town is also very quiet, as the streets are generally especially peaceful.
