"The good and bad of Cary, North Carolina, USA" Cary by SydneyBoundBabe

I've lived in Cary for the last 16 years and I've seen it go through a LOT of changes. It started as a large town with a friendly down-to-earth population. I even lived next to a small farm with a cow and horse pasture across the street.
Over the years, more families moved in, the school systems improved, nieghborhoods expanded, and businesses flourished. Now, some of the cheapest housing starts at $170,000 Cary has become a premier high-status city for wealthy people to settle in to.
Cary is a nice place to visit friends or to raise a family, but not an exciting or fun place to tour.

• Pros:safe, clean, excellent school system, many trees and parks, good restaurants, close to high-culture activities (art museums, unversities, country clubs, theaters, opera houses)
• Cons:EXPENSIVE, overzealous town legislature, almost no public transit, limited night-life within the city (go to Raleigh or Chapel Hill), some very unpleasant (arrogant) people live there
• In a nutshell:Cary is a great place to raise kids, not a great place to visit.
