Glenaire’s cuisine is well-known in the Cary area. Special occasions are celebrated with gourmet meals, many with carved meat stations. Once a week, a Glenaire chef prepares a food demonstration show for the evening meal. Local area residents have commented that the Creekside Café, which offers casual-dining at Glenaire, serves the best breakfast in Cary. What could be better than delicious food – prepared by someone else!

Glenaire’s proximity to Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill gives Glenaire residents the opportunity to attend Carolina Ballet productions, Broadway series plays, the North Carolina Symphony presentations, Hurricanes hockey games or special exhibits at nearby museums. Glenaire is also close to numerous, highly-ranked colleges and universities so residents may engage in continuing educational opportunities or participate in university performances and lyceum events.
