About Cary
Cary is a large town in Wake County, adjacent to Raleigh. It’s a town of classy living, with elegant homes, family-friendly neighborhoods, and safe, quiet cul-de-sacs, with just the right amount of classic Southern charm.
Only 30 years ago, Cary was a small, unassuming Southern town with a population of 21,000. The growth of the Research Triangle Park, accompanied by the influx of newcomers exploded the population today to 168,000. And the population expansion is not ordinary growth. Two thirds of the adult citizenry hold college degrees, and overall, the town has one of the highest household income levels in North Carolina.
