Earlier this year, in March, I attended the Grand Opening of the Villages of Apex. Other than the townhomes there really wasn't a whole lot to see. The custom home section had yet to get started and the project was just getting underway. The neighborhood has really progressed since then and it is shaping up to be one of the most charming neighborhoods in Apex. As a result, this planned community received a well deserved award as the 2008 North Carolina Homebuilders Association Parade of Homes Community of the Year.

The Villages of Apex won first place in the following categories:

• Best Master-Planned Community
• Best Logo
• Best Brochure
• Best Television Commercial

There really is something for everyone in this neighborhood where prices start in the low 200s for condos/townhomes and peak in the upper $400s.

City: Apex, North Carolina

Directions:

From Raleigh:  Head East on I-40 to HWY1/54 Exit.  Exit 64 West towards Ashboro.  Approximately 3 miles West, take a left into the Villages of Apex.

Planned Amenities Include:

• a private elementary school
• a 13-acre park
• 35 miles of walkways
• 220,000 square feet retail shops
• 80,000 square feet of office space

One of the neat aspects about the Villages of Apex is its walk-ability aspect. Walkscore.com has done a study of the different aspects of a neighborhood to see how close amenities are to the neighborhood. I'm certain the Villages of Apex will score well in terms of a central location near the library, grocery stores, coffee shops, gas stations, and downtown Apex!
