I moved from Pennsylvania and my apartment is so much newer, bigger, and cheaper.

Most homes come with a two car garages and a driveway.  The townhomes, however, come with one or two garages, and some do not have garages at all. Parking is not really an issue in this development due to the fact each home and townhome is provided with their own parking. In regards to public transportation, there are some DATA bus stops, but the CAT bus does not run in that area. Individuals can also catch a ride on the Triangle Transit Authority as well.

There are numerous apartment complexes in the RTP area, but they are very costly. If you do not mind paying 800 a month or more in rent for a one bedroom, then this is your place. If that is too steep for you, look into Durham or Raleigh. Nevertheless, what you spend in gas would not save you much.

I love the Camden Communities!

Homeowners can have pets with no problems. Various apartment complexes have different restrictions in regards to pet ownership. However, there are trails that you can take your animals out for a walk. Just remember to scoop your poop!

I love taking my dog on rides with me.  Most businesses like banks, CVS, and Dunkin Donuts pass out doggie treats at their drive in windows.  It's fun!

This neighborhood is located near several main thoroughfares and highways. If you want to avoid traffic, stay away from I-40. These areas can get pretty congested during rush hour traffic. I-40 can be hectic as well, especially during the five o’clock traffic.

            Also Highway 54/55 can get pretty congested as well, so you may avoid that road as well during rush hour traffic.

There are some grocery stores within a few miles of RTP such as Harris Teeter and Super Wal-Mart, which is located in the Briar Creek area.

Durham YMCA is located a few minutes away in downtown Durham and Raleigh has numerous gym facilities as well.
