The town is the corporate home of 75 companies, a listing of which can be found on the Employment page.
As a neighbor of Raleigh, Cary residents enjoy all the amenities of the capital city plus resources of their own. The North Carolina Symphony performs its Pops Summerfest Series annually at Cary's Regency Park. Recently restored is the 1868 Page-Walker Hotel which has been converted into a center for the visual and performing arts.
Cary is served by strong neighborhood schools in the Wake County Consolidated System. Medical services are available at the recently completed Western Wake Medical Center.
Residential growth has focused on planned neighborhood projects and the town boasts some of the finest developments in the region. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a community developed as a single entity with a master plan for clusters of mixed uses. Varying types of housing are grouped in district neighborhoods within the development. PUD's can also include commercial districts, shopping centers, recreation clubs, and daycare centers. An emphasis on amenities exists with combinations of tennis courts, swimming pools, golf course, lakes, and jogging and fitness trails.
