What's New?
One of Cary’s top priorities is ensuring a variety of housing options to meet the diverse needs of our residents. Allowing more ADUs is a key recommendation from the Cary Housing Plan, supporting Cary’s efforts to offer high-quality, new housing choices—while preserving the character of existing neighborhoods.
