Fast-growing and vibrant, Cary seems more like an urban area than a
small town. While more than 107,000 people call Cary home, it's
still known as the "Town of Cary" and offers a historic downtown
area and comfortable neighborhoods, many on small lakes. In January
2004, Money magazine named Cary the most desirable place to live in
the eastern United States and one of the six "hottest towns" in
America. Cary has repeatedly ranked among the top regions in North
Carolina to start a business, buy a house, raise a family and
retire. It is located in the heart of the Triangle adjacent to
Research Triangle Park and is only minutes away from the
Raleigh-Durham International Airport and the state's capital. It's
also ranked as one of the safest cities in the South.
Known as the "Technology Town of North Carolina," Cary is home to
one of the region's largest employers, the privately owned SAS
Institute, an international software company. The town hosts one of
the largest arts and crafts festivals in the Southeast, drawing some
500 vendors and more than 60,000 attendees each August during Lazy
Daze. |
