    What's special

    Here's your chance! Rare opportunity to secure a highly desirable lot within walking distance to Historic Downtown Apex. This property is ideal for builders, investors, or buyers looking to tear down and build new in one of Wake County's most in-demand areas. Existing home has already had asbestos professionally removed, and a new survey has been completed, saving time and upfront development costs. Enjoy the benefit of a walkable lifestyle with easy access to restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, parks, and year-round community events in downtown Apex. New construction in this area continues to see strong demand and premium resale value. Opportunities like this in the heart of Apex are limited.
