Apex Real Estate Community Information
"The Peak of Good Living "
 Apex, North Carolina was first settled around 1867 and was incorporated in 1873. The name "Apex" was adopted because the community was the highest point on the Chatham Railroad between Richmond, Virginia and Jacksonville, Florida.
Located in southwestern Wake County, Apex combines a relaxing small-town atmosphere with convenience to big-city amenities. It is positioned for future growth: its population of 27,858 is projected to more than double in the next eight to ten years. The town planners are working to ensure that the small-town character remains while allowing for many new residents to join our community.
Apex is a small town ideally located in the southwestern corner of Wake County just a short drive from major shopping, business, entertainment, recreation and other big-city amenities.
