A local guide to buying, selling, and renting in southwest Wake County.
Apex is a town in southwestern Wake County, next to Cary and Holly Springs. Its slogan is "The Peak of Good Living," and the name comes from the town's spot as the high point on an early railroad line. Apex has grown quickly from a small railroad town into one of the larger towns in the county, while keeping a walkable historic downtown.
Older homes and bungalows sit close to downtown, where the historic district along Salem Street has local shops, restaurants, and community events. Much of the newer housing is in subdivisions that spread west toward the Green Level area and south along NC 55. The Beaver Creek area near US 64 and NC 55 is the town's main shopping hub.
Most newer Apex neighborhoods have an HOA. If you are buying to rent, read the covenants for any leasing rules before you make an offer.
Apex Community Park has a lake with a walking trail. Jordan Lake State Recreation Area is a short drive west for boating, swimming, and camping, and the American Tobacco Trail runs nearby for walking and biking. The town also adds greenway segments as new neighborhoods are built.
The Town of Apex runs its own electric utility, so many Apex addresses get power from the town rather than a regional company. It is worth confirming the utility providers for any home you are considering.
Apex is served by the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS). Assignments can change and can differ between nearby streets, so check the exact address with the school assignment lookup on the WCPSS website.
