Small town charm …
Cary is the “Technology Town of North Carolina” – a flourishing community in the heart of the North American Research Triangle. It is located between Raleigh, the North Carolina state capital, and the Research Triangle Park, the largest research park in the world. Located in the heart of the Triangle area, Cary is considered one of the best regions in the country to live, work, find a home, start a business, raise a family or retire and is located near to well-known universities such as NC State, Duke University and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In August 2006, the town was again recognized by Money Magazine as one of the Best Small Cities in America, ranking fifth on the magazine's 2006 list of Best Places to Live. Among the many benefits North Carolina has to offer is the diversity of landscapes across the state – from the beaches of the Eastern Seaboard, through the historical plains to the Appalachian and Blue Ridge mountains.
