i've been searching for housing reviews for some time now and i can't seem to find any that are appealing in the least. i am finishing up school soon here, and am looking for a place (would like to be in cary) to stay that is relatively small (just me) and not going to take me sacrificing my arm to pay each month. If any one has any knowledge of the area (raleigh and cary) and would like to offer, please inform me so that I can make a informed decision.

P.S. Looking to move in about a month or two

I don't know anything about Cary, but know of some relatively nice, not too expensive 1br places in the Cameron Village/St. Mary's vicnity. I can elaborate if you're interested.

There are some TWWer reviews of places in Cary in ?topic=495652&page=1#10760264

thanks people, i really appreciate it. it seems as if every single place that I look up has a horrid review. i would hate to start living somewhere that i utterly abhor and have to be stuck there until lease is up.

Keep in mind that people who aren't satisfied are a lot quicker to comment than people who were content. Most places are probably going to have bad reviews because the only people who are willing to take the time to review them are the ones who want to screw them over as much as possible because of something that went wrong. No place is going to make every single person happy.

Try going to the place and asking the people you see around there what they think of it. That way you'll get normal people, not just those with a mission to give the place a bad reputation.

I live at Weston Lakeside in Cary and I really like it. Then again we pay around $1000 for a 2 bedroom so it can get a little pricey. Nicest apt complex I have seen anywhere really, with tons of amenities (You can rent mountain bikes for free and literally ride them from your apt out back to lake crabtree/greenway, they have a pretty sweet theater you can use for sporting events, valet dry cleaning service, etc.)
