Lochridge is a subdivision of apartments that is part of the larger Lochmere neighborhood in Cary, North Carolina. The subdivision is on the western side of Lochmere and it is only a few steps away from a major shopping center in Cary that has multiple large stores like Harris Teeter and Whole Foods, as well as some small businesses in the area. The eastern edge of Lochridge borders a small community lake in Lochmere.

Cary is located in central North Carolina and it is positioned between the southeast and mid-atlantic regions of the country. Because of this, it experiences a wide range of weather patterns. Its summers are hot and humid, meaning you will want to keep yourself and your dog hydrated on long walks. The winters usually hover in the 30 to 40 degree territory, but there are also cold fronts that cause several snow days a year across the state.

The terrain in Cary varies depending on where you are, but for the most part, it is mild with a few intermittent hills and slopes. In Lochridge, however, there are almost no slopes or hills to speak of and it stays relatively flat throughout all of its areas. Because most of the buildings in the neighborhood are apartment complexes, the terrain is slightly more artificial than other areas of Lochmere where there is more green space.

There won’t be heavy foot or street traffic within the borders of Lochridge, but due to the high population living in the apartment complexes, normal rush hour times will sometimes be congested. Kildaire Farm Road, the major thoroughfare adjacent to the neighborhood, is always bustling with Cary commuters and it will be best to avoid walking on this road during the busier times of day. The smaller roads in the neighborhood will be ideal for a walk at any time of day.

Although there are no parks or greenways immediately within the borders of Lochridge, there are several options nearby that will be great for you and your dog to explore. Harold D. Ritter Park is just a few steps to the southwest of the neighborhood and it has picnic shelters, playgrounds, multiple athletic fields, a climbing wall, and plenty of open green space for a dog to play a game of fetch so long as they remain on a leash.

Adjacent to Ritter Park is the Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve which is a large preserve that has creeks, walking trails, and ample forest space for hiking. There is another preserve, the Swift Creek Bluffs Nature Preserve, which lies less than half a mile away and offers many of the same activities as Hemlock Bluffs. All of these parks and greenways are inside the boundaries of the Lochmere neighborhood and are widely enjoyed by members of the community.
