Questions & answers
Why move a family from Silicon Valley to Cary?
In Dmitry's case: comparable tech careers via RTP and remote work, top schools, dramatically more house per dollar, and a calmer family pace. The tradeoff is fewer big-city amenities.
Is Cary good for tech relocations?
Yes - SAS headquarters plus RTP access make Cary natural for tech families, with top schools easing the landing. Verify your specific commute before committing.
What surprised a Californian most about Cary?
Space per dollar, greenways and park systems, four real seasons, and how quickly newcomers build community through schools and neighborhoods.
