Apex

One of the most beautiful areas that we serve here at Montgomery Law is the town of Apex, North Carolina, located in southwestern Wake County. The name "Apex" was adopted because the community was the highest point on the Chatham Railroad between Richmond, Virginia and Jacksonville, Florida. The town's location led residents to adopt "The Peak of Good Living" as its motto. In 2007, Apex was named the 14th Best Place to Live in the USA by Money magazine based on factors such as community, economic opportunity, good schools, things to do, and safety.

Apex is located within the area known as The Research Triangle of which the outer regions consist of Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill.

The town recently underwent a major streetscape renovation that has successfully restored the downtown area and recaptured its historic flavor. This revitalized downtown district is on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered one of the best examples of a replicate turn-of-the-century railroad town.

In 1994 Apex was named the state's #1 Small Town in economic vitality by Business North Carolina magazine. At the time, it was positioned for unprecedented future growth and continually exceeded its timeline for keeping up with new and existing business needs, as well as services to the resident public. The '94 prediction proved to be true. Since 2000, the Apex, NC population has grown from 20,000 to nearly 32,000 in 2007, and is expected to double within the next decade.

The town's economic growth isn't the only aspect that attracts and retains citizens. The city's natural charm coupled with a strong community has the power to make people feel alive and welcomed. Every year in May, the streets of downtown are closed for Peak Week Celebration. With something for everyone, it features arts and crafts, a variety of food concessions, children's activities and games, musical groups, and local and big-name entertainment. The street festival is the last event in a weeklong series of community activities, which include a 5K road race, an outdoor concert, a golf tournament and other exciting events. Similar to the Peak week festival is the Today and Yesteryear Festival in late September of each year, with an emphasis on antiques and collectibles.
