The Research Triangle Park (RTP) is a virtual tax free zone for businesses doing research.  All of us in the surrounding areas are fortunate to live in an area that is virtually recession proof because of the Park, the State Government, and the numerous colleges and universities (Duke, Carolina and NCSU are less than 30 minutes from each other - forming another Triangle!)

Cary is known as a family community, and for this reason our average age per capita is deceivingly low.  The Wake County Public School System is now the largest public school district in North Carolina, edging out Charlotte/Mecklenburg Schools.  Wake County School System’s nationally award winning system ranks 19th largest nationwide.  the growth the school system has received numerous awards including #1 School District in the Nation for Certified Teachers and a Gold Rating from Expansion Management’s Education Quotient. 

The Triangle continues to be one of the few areas with APPRECIATING property values, and this has continued the growth trend of the Triangle area.  Our community continues to be highly ranked for quality of life, education, job growth, and affordability.   The Official Wake County Webiste lists over 15 awards presented in 2008 and 2007, including Forbes Magazine #1 Best Cities for Jobs, CNN Money 10 Fastest Growing Counties and Wired Magazine Top Tech Town.
