Top Dining & Nightlife in Apex

While Apex maintains a quieter, more laid-back nightlife compared to nearby Raleigh, residents appreciate the ability to enjoy a great meal, live music, or a casual night out—without the crowds or long commutes. In the heart of downtown, you'll find a variety of locally owned restaurants serving everything from Southern comfort food to globally inspired cuisine, many with inviting patios and walkable access along Salem Street. Favorites like craft breweries, wine bars, and cozy cocktail spots create a relaxed but lively evening atmosphere, perfect for date nights or gathering with friends.

What clients are saying

Trusted by local homebuyers

Edwards Real Estate group assisted us in buying our first house and they were incredible to work with! They made the process easy and helped us to understand things that we may not have known as first-time home buyers. They were also really patient as we toured multiple homes and quick to get us in for showings. They did a great job negotiating on our behalf when it came to placing offers and we were able to find the perfect home for us! I highly recommend them if you are looking to buy or sell!

Had a wonderful experience with Caleb and Cindy Edwards. Used Edwards Real Estate group to sell and buy a home. Spent the majority of the time working with Caleb, and he was organized, listened to us, provided feedback, and was really good at communicating. Cindy was a delight, very positive attitude and you can tell she loves what she does. Caleb referred us to a mortgage broker for our loan and a home inspector. In the end, we are in the home of our dreams and made a profit on the house we sold. Highly recommend and would use again.

Caleb is the best! He is very knowledgeable about the area and always quick to respond. Caleb helped my wife and I sell our first home and buy another. We had a tricky timing situation that Caleb was able to coordinate and execute flawlessly. Great experience throughout, definitely recommend.

To simply say that Cindy is a professional is an understatement. She leverages her experience and connections to give her clients a wonderful experience and outcome. Cindy genuinely cares and that shines through as she consistently exceeds expectations.
