Questions we get about Downtown Apex

Straight answers

What kind of homes are here?
Wood-frame two-storeys and cottages of 1,200–2,400 sq ft in the historic grid; 1,800–3,200 sq ft detached houses in the surrounding subdivisions.
Is there an HOA?
2 of the 3 homes we have listed here carry a monthly fee. What it covers varies — in townhome and condominium communities it often includes exterior maintenance, roof and water, which changes the comparison against a detached house more than most buyers expect. Always read the schedule and the reserve study.
How far is the commute?
About 12 miles to RTP via US-64 and NC-540; 18 miles to downtown Raleigh.
Which schools would we be assigned?
Apex Elementary, Apex Middle and Apex High (Wake County Public School System). Assignment is set per address and is reassigned periodically, so confirm the current base assignment with the district before you rely on it.
