Is that really true about Apex? I feel like a good portion of Apex is still "old Apex". The "Cary-ized" parts seem pretty limited to the northwestern portions, no?

The kill shot for Apex was when that CrossRoads Ford was approved...Don’t get me started on the new developments along Western Olive Chapel Road...
People are just looking for a better COL and QOL. Shouldn't really be that surprising to find out of towners here. NC to many is a lot better than moving to Florida!
No one really wants to retire/move to AL, ARK, MIS.
No place around here is going to be like Charleston, SC. Or most places in SC, which most people in the Triangle would consider a good thing. DH and DD just got back from a college visit to SC and weren't impressed by the natives.
I too read your prior posts, are you sure the federal government will let you re-locate? With my company you have to live where they do business. So I could go anywhere in any state where we do business but that's it. And what is the end game? Are you going to look for new jobs where you end up? Or are you going to keep working for the gov't and hope they don't try to push you back to the office?
Laughing at the first part of your post. Can't wait to move back from SC! Thought we would enjoy the southern culture, and there are some lovely people and lovely aspects to the real South, but on the whole we prefer the Raleigh area.

"Old Apex" has largely been sold for BIIIIG money to developers in the past 20 years and is now Haddon Hall, Scotts Mill, Abbington, Bella Casa, Smith Farm, Sweetwater, etc.
When I was at Apex High School in the mid 2000s....it was a healthy mix of typical upper-middle class suburbia and "rednecks with money"....filled both with teens who lived in the newer neighborhoods alongside those whose great great grandaddy's farm just got their parents rich when they sold it off to developers for said newer subdivisions. The student parking lot was filled with newerish honda civics with blue-tooth (still a huge upgrade at the time) and newer-ish raised pickups with floodlights and roll-bars; though a tad lopsided toward the first rather than the latter even then.
The balance has since shifted almost exclusively to the first in-lieu of the latter.
Apex is basically Cary Jr at this point. It almost "out-Caries" Cary in that Cary has a bigger chunk of "old" than Apex does now.
lmao, no, definitely not, not anymore, LOL, maybe, yes, for now, LMFAO!
I had the same reactions to that list!
