Apex - Homes for Sale on 1+ Acre Lots
Apex got its name originally because it was the highest point on the railroad line that ran between Richmond, VA, and Jacksonville, FL. Today, Apex represents itself as the “Peak of Good Living,” a thriving town of over 55,000 that maintains its small-town feel. Money Magazine named it the #1 place to live in America in 2015.
Nestled south of Morrisville and west of Cary, a great bonus about Apex is that it is close to the bigger cities in the Triangle (Raleigh and Durham are 20-30 minutes away), but at the same time, your home base is a small and welcoming community.
Colorful buildings, antique stores, and locally owned dining spots can be found on Salem Street, downtown’s main street. The Apex Union Depot, a historic railroad station, features concerts and festivals and a local farmers market open from April through November,
High-paying tech jobs? Check. Greenways and a lot of trails for biking and walking? Check. Lots over 1+ acres. Yes!
Whether you’re looking for privacy in a wooded setting, or just don’t want to see your neighbor’s houses, larger lots afford you the ability to enjoy peace of mind. And in Apex, you’re never too far from small-town amenities or big-city events.
One neighborhood to check out for homes on larger lots is Buckingham, which is in the heart of Apex, close to 540, US Hwy 64, and RTP. There are homes in this community that are 1-acre, but there are also homes on 2-4 acres as well. These are mostly larger homes, 3-5 bedrooms, and upwards of 2500 sq. ft. Houses in this neighborhood start in the mid $500s.
Many of these homes have updated kitchens, more than one master suite, lush, wooded views, family rooms, and huge outdoor decks. As with all houses that are slightly outside the city limits, you’ll want to see if you have sewer and water services provided by the city.
