I am one of the many lucky transplants from the Northeast that now call the Triangle area of North Carolina home.  I grew up in Fairfield County, Connecticut and thought I would live there all my life.  But after working through many winters as a realtor in Darien and New Canaan, I started to think that a move to a warmer climate might be a good idea.    Now I’ve lived here with my family for over 15 years.

Cary, North Carolina is a small great city and once again Money magazine has proven it.  Ranking Cary as #5 on it’s list of Great American Towns.   I agree!  Cary has beautiful homes and great neighborhoods.  Money Magazine says this about Cary:

“People come to the Research Triangle area for opportunity. They settle in Cary because they can’t believe how pretty the place is. More than 30 parks and greenways dot the region, and regular arts and crafts festivals bring tens of thousands to the downtown area to browse. And, of course, there’s plenty of culture in nearby Raleigh. Cary residents don’t lack for jobs. Software maker SAS is based here, and about 50% of its 10,000 jobs are in the area. The city also has one of the country’s lowest crime rates.”
