Cary Real Estate

Cary real estate is well worth considering if you are wanting to settle in North Carolina's gracious Piedmont area. The town of Cary, settled in 1750 and incorporated in 1871, lies very near the state capital of Raleigh. A longtime bedroom community to Research Triangle Park, it lies within 25 miles of both Chapel Hill and Durham. Cary is now the state's seventh largest municipality and a beautiful tree-lined community. CNN's Money magazine gave Cary kudos as the hottest spot to live in the South and one of the top five nationwide.

The town has a great deal to offer. Once your Cary real estate transaction is complete and you settle in as a resident, you will have much at your fingertips. The town is one of five in the state with the highest possible credit ratings from Standard & Poor's and Moody's. Its amphitheater at Symphony Lake is one of North Carolina's newest outdoor facilities.

Sports, too, are significant in Cary. Golf returns to Prestwood Country Club for the fifth year in a row with the PGA's championship tour. The USA baseball national Olympic training center is on the calendar to open in 2005 at Thomas Brooks Park. Cary's parks department was one of the first in the Triangle area to get national accreditation.
