Pros and Cons of Cary North Carolina - Kite Fest

[@April-201]

Nice video! I've lived in Cary for 11yrs now the population has drastically changed since we've gotten here from Jersey. Cary is great it's definitely on the expensive side tho & Right in the heart of everything we enjoy living here. My children graduated from Cary High and went on to graduate from the oldest HBCU in the south Shaw University ✊🏾 #Wakandaforever lol. I love what you guys are doing!

[@LifeWithLucasJames]

I'm from jersey and moving to Cary in two months

[@WhimsyWhespir]

Pros/cons If you play a sport for the town of cary, you know everyone. Everyone is very nice. One time I lost my wallet at the grocery store and 2 days later when I went to get it back it was still there with everything in it. You see the same people a lot. Random weather. One moment it can be sunny and warm and the next it'll be snowing. Overall its pretty good.

[@HeathandTracyTV]

Agree totally. Cary is a great town and very safe “relatively “. Yes you get to know people in the circles you travel. Check out our podcast too on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher and Spotify. “Joyfully Married After “. Thanks for watching!

Cant be snowing there now. I'm leaving snowy Chicago for warm weather. Should I bring my shovels etc 😁😁😄😃

[@lillians.4384]

Thank you for the awesome review! Im hitting the subcribe button lol. Im a single mom with a 7yr old daughter getting ready to move in about 4months. Yes, its in the middle of the school year but its when my lease is up here in Jersey! I'm just really wanting a fresh start, new beginnings, LOW taxes (lol) and overall new atmosphere with good ppl! Number 1 for me is a safe town as well as good schools. You guys have definitely confirmed where I will be moving in a few months. Thank you! 💕

Hello guys. My wife and I are looking to move from NYC (Brooklyn) and Cary, NC is in our list. We are going to visit the city by the end of July so maybe you can tell me more what to check and what doesn't pay to waste the time on. Also I'm in a car business (service, performance upgrades, styling) so I need customers who doesn't drive regular SUVs and Fords so maybe you can tell me what is the situation on the roads you can see. Thank you in advance.

Cary is very suburban. Low crime rates and good schools, not a ton of swag however. For your car business, you may want to check out Durham, Raleigh and definitely Charlotte. Enjoy your trip! All the best. Thanks for watching!

[@ynotbkandi]

DEFINITELY looking to move next month. What are areas to stay away from? Heard crime was low

[@HeathandTracyTV]

As people move here crime increases. We love the feel of Durham but it’s not ready. Cary is the safest in the area. Wake Forest and North Raleigh. But like everywhere else with gentrification it’s improving in many areas. Good luck on the move and thanks for watching!

Driving on a rainy night is terrifying. -Drivers are the worst of any of the 4 states I've lived in. Really bad. -Infrastructure sucks ass (water pipes bursting a lot, power outages).

[@encycl07pedia-]

I from north FL. I hate Cary. I've lived here for over a year. +Southern hospitality +Short drives (10 min or less) to get most things. If you drive more than 10 minutes, chances are you're looking for a specific store/restaurant. +Raleigh/Durham are 20-30 minutes away (downtown, anyway) for any city-ish stuff you want. +Lots of parks, 2-3 hours from coast or mountains (if you're outdoorsy). +More moderate temperatures than FL and less humidity. +Very low crime rate. -Drivers here are retarded, worst out of the 4 states I've lived in. The friendly natives will try to let people in but many times it's on a >2 lane road meaning they're just as likely to cause an collision as let someone out safely. Drivers cut corners way too much when turning left and pull out too far when waiting to turn onto a road. -Public infrastructure sucks: water pipes busting, not enough lanes for traffic demand, electricity outages. Roads have lots of potholes, no reflectors, faded and nonreflective lines, and not nearly enough streetlamps. Driving on a rainy night is terrifying because you can't even see the damn lanes. Cary-owned roads are maintained way better than state roads. -Urban sprawl. -***Rude and retarded Rust Belt immigrants.*** -Cary is expensive to live in. Morrisville and Apex are similar but cheaper.

My husband and I live in Charlotte, NC. We are considering relocating to the Raleigh area next year. Would you recommend someone to live in Fuquay-Varina?

[@HeathandTracyTV]

It’s a big switch from Charlotte. More rural but growing. The good thing is it’s still close to Raleigh. Consider where you will have to commute daily then chose wisely. The traffic will worsen as this area grows. Good Luck on the move! And thanks for watching!

[@alexanderflowers2948]

Emma I live in FV and I love it here, we have two downtowns and yes the area is building like crazy both in homes and apartments. the great thing about FV is how close you are to everything. Im a straight shot to downtown Raleigh, Im 30min from Durham, 40min from Chapel Hill, 1hr from the beaches, and 3hrs from the mountains. Its a great place to raise a family and great for young professionals, especially with kids. We have two Splash Pads for the kids during the summer months, we have a nearby minor league baseball team in Holly Springs, and they are building more restaurants and having more of a night life for young professionals to connect. There are a lot of parks and lakes nearby and walking trails. Very safe area for period. Hope this helps.

@@HeathandTracyTV-- Just one final inquiry please. I'm aware of the Del Webb Communitues. My understanding has been that they are "NOT" necessarily diversity/multi-ethnic friendly. In other words geared toward and marketed to the Caucasian community. Is it your "thinking" that "ALL" are welcomed?? THANK YOU

[@HeathandTracyTV]

In NC Cary is more diverse. We didn’t live far from the neighborhood I am referring to and the people there are very inclusive. If you didn’t want to live in that specific neighborhood there are still plenty of homes in that area. Amberly in Cary in directly across the street which is very diverse also. These are in the Green Level Church area 27519 area code. We felt was more diverse than most places or there than Durham. Maybe because of its proximity to Durham. The neighborhood across the street from the Del Webb neighborhood is 80% Asian Indian. So it’s not as you think.

[@karenhinton2875]

$300,000 is not affordable for a house, especially a newlywed couple or small family starting out with todays low salary. Such as teacher and a fireman. Your are not gonna make it. I'm from Louisiana and you could home for about 150,000.. A nice brick home and LIVE GOOD!!!

[@HeathandTracyTV]

Great point that most people live where the jobs are in the industry they are working in. And in this part of NC there are many tech and medical jobs. Since the incomes are higher in these industries it pushes housing prices higher. You can also find a $150k brick home in our area but it may not be close to your job or have the preferred schools. But with this new life of remote work your suggestion is great! Thanks for watching!

[@karenhinton2875]

Thanks for your reply. I enjoy watching your video as well as my husband :) We have lived in Raleigh area and now live in Charlotte area. I love Charlotte and feel it is the only area in NC with the cultural vibe we like. I hated Raleigh. It was very boring, and hard to make real friendships and maintain them. My husband is from from Raleigh, I am from Louisiana. But, he acts like a Louisianan. :) I definitely miss the rich culture, food and jazz and zydeco music, and super friendly people and warm hospitality and the low cost of living!!!! I will probably never experience that anywhere else in America, so its hard for me not to evaluate my experience here with my experience there. I moved here in 2012 and got married in 2013. I did not enjoy Raleigh at all. It just wasn't my type of city. However, Cary is very nice and we once thought of moving there. So, with so many bad experiences, we set out to move to Charlotte. So far, so good! I agree with you about people live where the jobs are. But, my issue are that for instance in Raleigh area, it is a tech industry or medical industry But not everyone is in that field. Some people are teachers, truck drivers, policeman and fireman, painters, etc. But the cost of homes there and throughout NC are not equivalent for them. Not everybody wants to pay 250,000 or 180,000 or 220,000 for a nice size newer home. Even if I'm in the higher paying fields, I may not want to spend that amount on a home. I may want to spend only 50,000 for a 2 bedroom condo. Where are those? lol they don't exist in NC. And if they do, the building is probably condemned. My problem is that they don't have enough variety in different price ranges for rent or sale. It's either a super cheap roach motel with gunfire or super pricey. If I am a teacher earning 30,000 a NC. And My hubby is a fireman, earning 40,000 a year. We would not be able to live comfortably and raise children, in a good school zone without going bankrupt. And if I wanted to live here I shouldn't have to move away because the state or city only geared for tech salary jobs. I guess I'm just a spoiled Louisianan. I need to a video on the Pros of Living in Louisiana.

You don’t pay anything for a Realtor in NC. It’s not like NY. Check Henry Property Management. They are great and may have some homes in Cary. Right now it’s hard and there will be multiple offers.
