    2.5/5 Rose G. on Mar 2, 2021

    Since we have lived here, the Security has always been an issue, the maintenance could be better, lights always going out, the stove in our unit the hood light is still out x 1 year, the refrigerator fan x 6 months is so loud in order to fix it yourself we stuck paper along the side to keep it quite..the lights in our breezeway are out, don’t get me started on the children, always running tearing up things and their parents just let them. We probably are the only original family still here, the location is great for everything, that is the reason we are still willing to pay $1300.00 a month for rent when we could buy..

    1.5/5 Emma N. on Mar 13, 2020

    We're only renewing our lease because we have to. We still have noise problems, maintenance enters units without notice, staff puts no effort in solving any problems, gym equipment has been broken since we moved in, movie theater has been broken, the pool opened two months late and the chemicals were never balanced properly and was not cleaned. Our car was broken into and the staff told us it was our fault. If it weren't for the comfort of already being here for 12 months and enjoying the location, I would be begging for help to move somewhere else.

Renter's Guide to Cary

Cary is a small city in North Carolina that rests in what is known as the Research Triangle, consisting of Raleigh, Durham, and Cary. The city is often referred to as a bedroom community, since many area residents make the short 10-mile commute to Raleigh, or the 20-mile trip to either Chapel Hill or Durham. In fact, Cary has been ranked as one of the best cities for teleworkers, due to its proximity to numerous large employers headquartered-, or with offices in the Triangle.

The city has a small-town feel, despite having a population of over 150,000, and is known for having exceptional school districts and low crime rates. The weather in Cary is typically very pleasant, with a mild spring and fall. The summers do get hot and humid with a fair amount of rain, while the winters are fairly mild, although residents will see some occasional snow and freezing rain.

    Living in Cary, NC

    Cary is also known for being one of the safest cities in the country, as it has been consistently named as one of the safest places in the country.

    While there aren’t many cons to living in Cary, some see the fact that it’s a bedroom community as a negative. But many also see this as a pro, since it allows them to avoid the hustle and bustle of the big cities while raising a family in a safe place with great public education.
