 I moved to the Triangle in 1991 and have lived in Cary since 1994. I'm practically a native.  I've watched Cary blossom  into and established and well planned community.  Here are some of the reasons I love to call Cary, NC home! Location & Proximity to Research Triangle ParkMany of the Triangle area residents commute North into the RTP (Research Triangle Park) area rather than downtown Raleigh.  Now that the widening of two major alternative routes to I-540 (HWY 55 and Davis Drive) has been completed and the first toll road in North Carolina is now Open the commute into RTP is a quick 10-15 minute drive to the major employers in the area.  Cary is also a quick commute to the RDU Airport and the 3 Major Universities in the area.   The Great OutdoorsCary's land-acquisition ordinance req... 08/10/2016

Release Date: 04/05/2016 Question: We have a fully executed contract, but the time has passed for the buyers to deliver the earnest money deposit and the due diligence fee.
