    "Very safety neighborhood for kids and parents. There are a lot of greener areas and lots of parks for children."
  • Trulia User
    "Very family oriented, friendly, safe, and both excellent elementary and high school districts. The small downtown area harkens back to days of old when you knew every store owner, restauranteur, police officer, and firefighter. Neighborโ€™s help and look out for one another. Cary is not very diverse, but that doesnโ€™t mean it doesnโ€™t welcome newcomers. "
