Welcome to Preston

The story of the Preston neighborhood in Cary, North Carolina, is intertwined with two technology companies. The community was developed in the 1990s to lure talented professionals who were being recruited by local software firm SAS Institute.
 
Then in 2021, tech giant Apple announced it will build a 3,000-employee campus just 3 miles outside of Preston. “Preston has always been popular, but it’s seen a resurgence,” says Davis Holt, a real estate agent with Compass who has worked in Triangle real estate for more than a decade. “The speculation is as Apple moves in, this is where the executives will want to be.” Perched between Durham and Raleigh, Preston is a cluster of planned communities that offer high-end homes, a suburban lifestyle and well-rated public schools.
