Highlands. Tucked into the western side of Cary, this established neighborhood delivers the easy rhythm people love about suburban living with quick connections to regional hubs. Commutes are straightforward to Raleigh and Research Triangle Park via I-540 and NC-55, while everyday errands and dining are close at hand. On weekends, residents gravitate to the expansive greenspaces, community events, and arts programming that make Cary feel engaged and active year-round.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. The lakes, trails, boathouse, and playgrounds at the town’s signature destination, Fred G. Bond Metro Park, are minutes away, as are concerts under the stars at Koka Booth Amphitheatre. Tennis enthusiasts have one of the region’s premier public facilities at Cary Tennis Park, and the broader amenities, classes, and cultural offerings organized by the Town of Cary keep calendars full. For a change of pace, the boutiques and eateries of nearby Apex and the revitalized districts around Downtown Cary add variety without sacrificing convenience.
Families value Highlands’ access to the Wake County Public School System, known for strong academics, magnet options, and year-round calendars. Sidewalks, mature shade, and pocket playgrounds encourage evening strolls, while Cary’s extensive greenway network weaves through everyday routines.
