Abstract:

Cary is North Carolina's seventh largest city with 107,000 residents and 6,000 businesses. In 2004, MONEY MAGAZINE designated the town as the best place to live on the East Coast. Above average home prices, residents with above average incomes (median $75,000), and a high percentage of residents with college degrees (67 percent) were demographics the magazine selected in making their selection. Maurer discusses this city that chose smart growth and culture over urban sprawl and still doubled its population every decade since 1960.
