Thinking of moving to Cary

There are parts of Durham which are just as un-diverse as Cary and there are parts of Cary which are just as diverse as Durham (I know because I live in that part of Cary!). Whichever way you choose to live, you can find both in either place.

Very cool lamishra. That's good to know.

I think I'm one of those people who needs two homes - one Funky and one Stepford - to reflect both sides of my personality!

That's not a bad idea. We're all so lucky to live in the triangle area where we can at least experience a little bit of all of it when we choose to.

It just astonishes me how someone can say that Cary is less diverse that Durham.

Cary's population is far more international.

Hi CHwboy, it's not so much about people, it's about types of houses, numbers of strip malls and chain restaurants, suburban living as compared to slightly more urban.
