Cary

Feels Just Like Home

The Small-Town Lifestyle

Though Cary is home to more than 150,000 people, it maintains a small-town identity. For a peek into the hometown lifestyle, visit Downtown Cary, a nostalgic destination. The pharmacy, Ashworth Drugs, is a cornerstone of Downtown Cary, featuring an old-fashioned soda fountain and all the amenities of a modern drugstore. Residents flock downtown weekly to experience popular events, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, browse the shelves at the public library, or take a class at the Cary Arts Center.

A Retreat from the City

Cary’s expansive local parks, miles of greenway trails, and intimate shopping centers are a breath of fresh air from the hustle and bustle of Raleigh. For those who crave an outdoor adventure, Umstead State Park and Bond Park are perfect for hiking, biking, fishing, and canoeing. But should you want to spend a day at the lake, Jordan Lake is not too far away.
