Want to get an inside look at the Cary meeting district? You can with our new Threshold 360 virtual tours!

Cary, N.C., stands out for its charm and renowned quality of life as well as its love for all things local. The vibrant town (only ~17 minutes from downtown Raleigh) is home to the USA Baseball National Training Complex, WakeMed Soccer Park and the North Carolina FC and North Carolina Courage professional soccer teams, and it’s a thriving place for visitors to make lifelong memories. From catching a concert at Koka Booth Amphitheatre, to going on a bike ride at Fred G. Bond Metro Park, to grabbing food at James Beard-recognized and nationally celebrated restaurants, it’s no wonder the town was ranked No. 5 on Money’s list of “Best Places to Live.”

Downtown Cary is a walkable, friendly area with a wide variety of local restaurants, breweries and boutiques—and it's rapidly growing! Several new spots, including Di Fara Pizza Tavern, Bond Brothers Eastside and Hank's Downtown Dive, have opened within the last year. While long-time favorites such as La Farm Bakery, Ashworth Drugs and Cotton House Craft Brewers are standing strong.

If you have any questions about the venues or the Raleigh area in general, feel free to contact us any time! We can also give guided virtual tours with insider info throughout each space.

The Mayton

The Mayton is a Georgian-style boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Cary encompassing luxury, Southern hospitality and a serene atmosphere.
