If you moved to the Raleigh/Durham area, where would you like to live in?

Raleigh-populated city that isn't too crowded, light traffic, low crime, & lots of small businesses & government jobs(state gov). Lots of retail & restaurants, lots of residential parts that look suburban. Have to save water though, Raleigh's under a water restriction due to drought.
Cary-Is a miniature, more suburban version of Raleigh. Has some more high tech jobs Much safer with very low crime.
Durham-Close to RTP(which has lots of IT and tech jobs), higher crime though, more traffic, Great jobs though.
Chapel Hill-Close to UNC, small historic town, similar to Cary.
Garner-Close to Downtown Raleigh, much like Cary but not as safe as Cary. Low cost of housing.
Knightdale-East of Raleigh, good suburb, cheap housing.
Zebulon-Rural, Furthest East in Wake Co.
Fuquay-Varina-Rural, growing, lots of retail and restaurants, far South of Raleigh.
Apex-Crowded, lots of retail, lots of housing, still growing.
Holly Springs-Where I live, Growing fast, low cost housing, rural too.
Raleigh, Knightdale, & Zebulon all are under a drought issue with Falls Lake which is getting low.

Cary & Apex take water from Jordan Lake which is very full. No drought issue.

Southern Wake takes from Harnett county.

Durham & Chapel Hill take from lake Michie which is also pretty low. They have water restrictions too.

Cary for sure. It's awesome here. I love it. I enjoy all the growth and can't wait for more.
