Apex or Holly Springs?Which would you choose?

My wife and I looked in Apex and HSP and chose HSP for the reasons most of you are saying not to. I like living a little further out (commutes do not bother me and taking 751 makes it easier) and I get to work in RTP in about 35-45 minutes leaving at 7am. With growth comes appreciation and with HSP having more opportunity for growth as well as the 540 extension (whenever that comes) there is a great opportunity for expansion. The nuclear power plant means nothing.....seriously and we did not have to sign any special document about the power plant, nor do we have to take special pills nor am I worried about a nuclear fallout....besides, even if you live in Apex, if it goes you will live about 20 seconds longer than us in HSP. Let's not forget about people paying Cary taxes living in parts of Apex (yes Cary has annexed parts of HSP as well) but there is just as much attempted or coming up when it comes to Apex annexation as well. It comes down to what YOU want. If you end up listening to what other people like about the areas you will not listen to what YOU want. Go to both, drive around, see the areas and make a decision. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I don't think you can go wrong in either, although I personally like Apex. I've actually always liked Apex. It's grown so much in the past years. Find a community you like, drive the areas, only you will be able to tell which area feels more like "home" to you.

I live in apex as well, and let me tell you one thing about the morning commute. If you live 5 miles further down the road that can easily add 10-20 mns each way to your daily commute. I owuld definitely go with Apex.
