Bladestone Apartments for Rent

Just north of downtown Apex, Bladestone’s tidy houses are set on quiet, wooded streets. Apex prides itself on preserving a small-town atmosphere in an urban center, and Bladestone residents enjoy a serene neighborhood that’s close to business centers, major universities, and shopping destinations.

Bladestone is in ZIP code 27502, and the neighborhood is northeast of the intersection of Hunter Street and N. Salem Street. Highway 64, a major artery in the area, is less than one mile north of Bladestone.

Residents of Bladestone can walk to downtown Apex in minutes, where the streets are filled with specialty shops and unique restaurants. The town has maintained its rich history as the highest point on the Chatham Rail Line. On Main Street, water runs toward the Neuse River on one side and the Cape Fear River on the other. Thousands flock to downtown Apex each spring for Peak Fest, a street festival with live music performance, a car show, crafts vendors, and plenty of food.

The Raleigh area has been called a city within a park, and Apex is no exception with its many greenways and public parks. One of the most popular trails runs between Lake Pine Road and Laura Duncan Road, following the shore of a lake. Nearby Cary and Raleigh maintain extensive greenway systems and large urban parks such as William B. Umstead State Park, which has miles of hiking trails and a lake. Regency Park, just east in south Raleigh, combines the outdoors with the arts in an amphitheater overlooking Symphony Lake that draws national performing artists.

The Research Triangle Park, home to national corporations such as IBM, is about 30 minutes north of Bladestone. Other large employers, such as businesses in downtown Raleigh and the area’s major universities, are within a reasonable commute.
