 The Triangle Area encompasses the main cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill as well as the internationally recognized Research Triangle Park. Other towns and municipalities include Cary, Morrisville, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay Varina, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Rolesville, Pittsboro, Carrboro and Hillsborough. Over 1.2 million residents now make up the Triangle's diverse population. The area offers a great quality of life, a low crime rate, affordable housing, top-notch educational institutions, some of the best healthcare facilities in the world, a diverse industry base, and an environment in which it is ideal to raise a family. Located in the Heart of North Carolina, the Triangle is not only a great place to live and work, it is also ideally situated for enjoying the tremendous variety of things to see and do that North Carolina has to offer from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Atlantic Coast.
Whether you prefer the bustle of the urban neighborhood, the amenities of the suburb or the tranquility of the countryside, the Triangle has something to offer everyone. Not only are some of the best schools in the state located here, the Triangle is a great place to work and play. There are a number of recreational lakes nearby including Jordan, Harris, and Falls Lake. Other lakes within a 1 to 2 hour drive include John H. Kerr Reservoir and Lake Gaston on the Roanoke River and High Rock, Tuckertown, Badin and Tillery on the Yadkin River.
 Within a half-day's drive are the beautiful mountains and beaches of North Carolina. The Outer Banks, home of the Wright Brother's historic first flight, is due east of the Triangle and is a relaxing location for vacation. For pure beauty, little can rival the picturesque Great Smoky Mountains in the western half of the state.
There are over 25 unique golf course communities in the Triangle Area with an array of amenities. To see pictures and obtain additional information click on Golf Course Communities.
The thriving business sector is anchored by one of the nation's largest research parks and three nationally renowned research universities. Industry giants in pharmaceuticals, computer software, telecommunications, and biotechnology call the Triangle home. The Research Triangle Park (RTP) is a premier address for relocating and expanding companies that want access to technology-transfer opportunities made possible by the Park's close ties with Duke University, University of North Carolina and North Carolina State University.
