My friends and I are looking to live somewhere between exits 280 and 285 off of 40 as we will all be working in the RTP vicinity. Living right next to the highway isn't a priority, I just listed the exit numbers as a reference. We're looking to spend around $500 per month. I'm familiar with housing in Raleigh, but not as well in Cary. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I hope it's obvious I meant $500 a person.

You shouldn't have any problems finding stuff. Most of the Cary apts. run between 400-500/month per person. Just go to apt. finder or rent.com

Thats what I'm doing now, but its slow going. If anyone had any personal experience, it might save me looking through these 100s of results.

There are a lot new apartments in the Cary/Morrisville area that makes it convenient to get to RTP via 540/Davis drive. Off of Carpenter Fire Station Rd (which if off 55) there is a new complex called Courtney Reserve, they looked really nice when I toured them, they just didnt have enough closet space for me (storage etc), Vista at the Park off 55 is also new and I have heard good things about them from people I work with. If you want an older complex there are quite a few on 54 near Aviation, The Oaks at Weston, Camden Westwood?(maybe) either way I have heard good things about all of these....

There are usually an abundance of townhome rentals in this area also, I just checked craigslist...

Hope this gets you started

There are lots of Cary places discussed in ?topic=495652

There's a new complex on the corner of davis and hopson, like two seconds from RTP. Depending on the number of roommates you could get it down to under 500 a month or so. I'm in a two bedroom and I pay 560 a month (thats only because i took the first two months free, if I hadn't rent would probably be less than 500).

staff is real nice, good amenities, convenient to brier creek and RTP, any other questions let me know.

i live at northwoods mews

it's right off of n. harrison in cary (near sas, exit 287)

you can get a 3 br/2.5bath townhome for like $990 and they're pretty awesome.

Let me know if you are going to check them out so I can get $50 for referring you

bridges at windriver is pretty decent. there's some others south of 40 near the new part of 540 too that were pretty reasonable.

Bexley park, davis at mccrimmon (next to Sony/Ericsson and Cisco).

I second Bexley park. I lived there for 2 years and its was a pretty easy drive down Davis to work.

Weston Lakeside is right off 285 or 287. It's aight, if you want to sublet my place that'd be the heat, I just bought a condo in Raleigh.
