City of Apex, NC Real Estate

Settled in 1867, Apex has a very rich history and is in fact one of the most intact turn of the century railroad towns in the state of North Carolina. Approriately named Apex because this spot was the highest elevation on the Chatham Railroad. The Apex Historic District was established in 1994, and features many buildings that were built in the late 1800's. The downtown buildings of Apex are listed on the National Register of Historic Places .

Since the 1990's, Apex's population has quadrupled to its present population of over 37,000 people. The town remains true to its motto stating it is "The Peak of Good Living", as that it was #44 on CNN/Money magazines "Top Places to Live" list.

One of the faster developing towns in NC, Apex has many new neighborhoods and shopping centers and a thriving restaurant community. The Apex Peakway, currently under construction, is a loop road around the whole of downtown, and was established to ease traffic in the town and provide an easy way for citizens to get from one side of town to the other.
