I need to bookmark all of these helpful threads. We are relocating at the end of the month. Renting a house in northwest Raleigh for a year ad will have to decide where to settle. Thanks for the information. Will be handy in the future.

Hi Jenniferg72nc,
Great info on Heritage. Thank you! So glad to hear of all ages as I am looking to move ONCE, and someday I will be an empty nester myself. Also, so good for the kids to have neighbors of all ages. We had that when we lived in NC 10 years ago and had the kindest, sweetest different kinds of folks. It looks beautiful there- so nice and manicured. I do love that!

I realize I can be my own hypocrite in that I would like some quaint downtown, Mayberry-esquire dream, but it sure is nice to run to Lowe's when you need it or Michael's to grab the poster board your child forgot to mention that you must have the next morning at school. Fantasy vs reality- but part of me is an soul looking to lay down roots and have great neighbors and local merchants. Thanks again-

I live in Apex where it's a short drive down Salem St. to get to downtown with local merchants, or hop on hwy 1 to get to Cary Crossroads for big-chain stores Michaels, Lowe's, etc.. Sure, I could get these stores at Beaver Creek in Apex too, but traffic on hwy 1 is easier to navigate than 55. So, you'll get the best of both worlds in Apex.
