About Apex
Apex grew up around a railroad depot, and its historic downtown on Salem Street still looks the part. Most of the town is far newer: the median home across Apex's three ZIP codes was built in 2005, and 27% of households moved in during 2020 or later, rising to about two in five in the 27523 ZIP code northwest of town (Census ACS). Only 20% rent. For a house that just closed, rekeying every exterior door to one new key is the cheap first job.
