Living in Apex, NC
Apex is a fast-growing Wake County town southwest of Raleigh, sharing a long border with Cary. US-1, US-64 and NC-55 all serve the town, and the I-540 loop now cuts across it, so commutes to Research Triangle Park, Raleigh and Durham are manageable. Jordan Lake and its state recreation area sit a short drive west along US-64.
The heart of town is the historic downtown along Salem Street, home to The Halle Cultural Arts Center, local shops and restaurants. Most residents live in planned subdivisions that spread out from downtown, from established neighborhoods like Scotts Mill and Haddon Hall to newer areas along the Apex Peakway and Green Level corridor. Housing is mostly single family homes and townhomes, and newer subdivisions keep going up on the edges of town.
Unlike many Triangle towns, Apex runs its own electric utility, along with water, sewer, garbage, recycling and yard waste service, for most addresses in town limits. A few subdivisions, such as Waterford Green, Beckett Crossing, Carriage Downs and Sunset Hills, get power from another provider. Public schools are part of the Wake County Public School System, and Eva Perry Regional Library serves Apex families.

How much does a local move in Apex cost?
Local moves are billed by the hour by crew size: $95 for a 1 man crew, $150 for 2, $175 for 3 and $200 for 4. Most local moves run $190 to $2,500. Final price depends on home size, distance and services.
What should I check for a move near downtown Apex?
Review current street-access updates, confirm a suitable loading location, and ask the property contact about any building restrictions.
What access details should I include in my estimate request?
Include stairs, narrow entrances, walking distance from the truck, and photos of any difficult furniture routes.
What deposit does Apex charge to start utilities?
The standard residential deposit is $200 for all utilities or $50 for water only, waived if your credit meets the Town’s requirements, plus a one-time $15 service initiation fee. The Town asks for 24 hours’ notice and connects Monday through Friday.
How far ahead should I book a Apex move?
We recommend 2 to 4 weeks ahead, especially in summer and on weekends. Same-day scheduling is available every business day until 11 AM when our schedule allows.
Does the Town of Apex provide my electricity?
For most addresses inside town limits, yes. Apex runs its own electric utility along with water, sewer and solid waste service, and you set everything up with one online connection form. A few subdivisions, including Waterford Green, Beckett Crossing, Carriage Downs and Sunset Hills, are served by a different electric provider. Call Utilities and Finance at (919) 249-3311 if you are unsure.
Should I take my trash and recycling carts when I move out of Apex?
No. The Town asks departing residents to leave their garbage and recycling carts at the home for the next occupant, and it charges a fee for missing containers. Schedule your disconnection at least 24 hours ahead, and if you are selling, keep service on through the final walk-through. A one-time $15 service initiation fee appears on the first bill at your new address.
