Raleigh Area Relocation – Highlighting Apex, North Carolina

Apex, North Carolina has grown from a small town of just under 5,000 people in 1990 to a vibrant, progressive and family oriented community with a population of over 30,000 today in 2006. Apex is located just south and west of Raleigh, NC and has good access to the Research Triangle Park.

Apex received its name by being the highest point on the Chatham Railroad that ran between Jacksonville, Florida and Richmond, Virginia. The early history of the town grew around the railroad and a farming community developed around the train station. The town was incorporated in 1873 and with its location near Raleigh, it became an active shopping and trading center.

Today, Apex, North Carolina features safe and liveable neighborhoods, excellent schools, new shopping centers and strives to maintain its quaint historic downtown that has specialty shops, restaurants and historic buildings. The trains still run through downtown and Apex claims to be, “The Peak of Good Living.”
