Hi L.,
I have a friend who moved to Apex several years ago. It is beautiful!! I would highly recommend you look in that area. I think it is in the Research Triangle.
When I visited I loved the feel of the community. We could walk from her home to the downtown area that had cool shops/cafes. It was a great place for families. She has a neighborhood playgroup and everyone is so nice.
Good luck - I hope you have a successful trip!
