Cary feels like your city with a historic presence. It still has that the small town feel with a big enough dominance to have an abundance of resources under it's disposal. The schools that are present in Cary are a great representative of that and that's what draws a lot of people from the North here. It's affordability to live in and the town has a lot of opportunity for you to become successful. | | | | | | |
