Overall safety score

“Go. Southwest Raleigh and the Cary border area represent a remarkably safe, suburban environment with violent crime rates significantly below the national average. While standard vigilance regarding vehicle break-ins is advised around major commercial plazas and large apartment complexes, visitors will encounter minimal safety risks.”

About the area

Suburban / ResidentialFamily-FriendlyCar-DependentPark-Adjacent

Straddling the boundary of Wake County's two largest municipalities, this area features leafy residential subdivisions, major retail corridors like Crossroads Plaza, and prominent outdoor spaces like Lake Johnson. It blends Cary's notoriously peaceful suburban stability with convenient road access to downtown Raleigh and the Research Triangle.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
