ABOUT CARY

Cary is located in the heart of North Carolina's Triangle. Next to Research Triangle Park, it is minutes away from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport and Raleigh, the state capitol of North Carolina.

Cary's hometown feeling, educational, cultural (such as the Cary Heritage Museum), and recreational offerings make it a wonderful place to raise children. School-age children comprise about 23% of the Cary population.

Cary is a very quiet and peaceful community with a very low crime rate. In 2004 the town of Cary was declared the ninth safest of 354 large cities in the nation. Cary was listed in Money Magazine as one of the best places to live in the Eastern United States in 2003 and #5 place to live in the United States in 2006.
