Historic Downtown
•
A historic downtown filled with charming shops and restaurants, a high-tech economy that rivals Silicon Valley (without the high price tag), some of the best schools in the nation, popular festivals, and a tree-filled landscape -- it's easy to see why Apex was once named the number one "Best Place to Live" by Money Magazine. Apex was named for its location on the rail line, with its rail station being the highest point between Richmond and Jacksonville. The town, which dates back to 1873, is one of the most in-tact rail cities in the country.
With just 14 miles to downtown Raleigh, Apex residents can easily visit the capital city, which is home to North Carolina State University, Meredith College, and PNC Arena. Apex apartments are ideal for those working at the nearby Research Triangle Park, and it is perfect for parents -- the schools are top-rated and feature cutting-edge technology. This close-knit community also has a fun side with events like the PeakFest Street Fair attracting roughly 15,000 a year.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
