Thinking about moving to Cary, NC from the Hagerst

My husband and I are thinking about moving to Cary from Hagerstown. I have several questions about Cary though. First, I am a Biologist and my husband is in IT, how easy would getting a job be? I know RTP would be great for us, but is there any insider info I'm missing? Second, how is the work commute time? Up here in Hagerstown, everyone commutes to Frederick (which is 40 min. on a good day) and everyone that lives in Frederick commutes to the Washington DC area (1 hour on a good day). I'm sick of the idea of bedroom communities and long traffic-packed commutes to work and I want to be able to finally afford to live where I work. Is this possible in Cary? Also, is the area child-friendly, we are thinking about having kids soon and want to move where there are lots of other kids and a young population. And lastly (this one may be a little hard to describe) I am looking for a town with a sense of pride. In Hagerstown houses are run down and front yards are often times littered with trash/junk, etc. I'm looking for a town that looks clean and where people take pride in their houses/possessions.
If anyone has any thoughts your input would be greatly appreciated!
