Scotts Mill Apex

Scotts Mill in Apex, NC is a wonderful community with so much to offer.  The first time I drove into this neighborhood, I fell in love with the architecture.  The homes are modeled after historic homes throughout North Carolina.  What they all have in common is a welcoming front porch.  It is these front porches that evoke an allover friendly atmosphere.  Recently completed is the paved woodland greenway with wooden bridges over the small creeks.  A lot of people walk, jog and bike on these trails which connect to surrounding neighborhoods.  The neighborhood has a community swimming pool, tennis courts, volley ball court, playground and clubhouse with kitchen and entertaining facilities.  Neighbors become well acquainted with many social events that take place at our community facilities.  They have an annual Easter egg hunt, Halloween parade, Kindergarten breakfast, Breakfast with Santa and many more organized festivities.

There is also a commercial area in the "Green" of Scott's Mill.   One business is the Hopper House.  Hopper House offers kids recreation, parties, drop-off care, and track-out programs.  The little ones really love it!  There is also a music studio offering music lessons, a photography studio and dentist.  All within walking distance. 

In addition to the great public schools, The Saint Mary Magdalene Catholic School and Church are attached to the Green at Scott's Mill, right across from retail and center park.  Scotts Mill is a swimm community with jr. Olympic pool, kiddie pool, tennis courts, basketball and volley ball facilities and a club house with kitchen.   Scotts Mill also has a very successful swim team, the Scotts Mill Sea Dragons and several active social groups.  The social groups range from the children's committee to the golden agers club - with several in between. 

There are have home offerings of 1340sf -1800 sf townhouses and about 1350sf - 3,000 sf single family homes (with a few homes over 3000sf).
