Overview

Chapel Hill and her sister city Carrboro form the smallest of the three points of the Research Triangle Area. Chapel Hill is unique in its lifestyle and uncommonly beautiful in its scenery. It is considered an ideal place to live by many and residents take great pride in its enticing quality of life.

Called the "Southern Part of Heaven," Chapel Hill is a university town which has reserved the quaintness and charm of a village while enjoying the amenities of a lively, cosmopolitan metropolis. The town is experiencing dramatic changes even more pronounced, perhaps, than her neighboring cities.

Located in Orange County, Chapel Hill is about 10-15 minutes from the Research Triangle Park and 35 minutes from Raleigh.

Chapel Hill is home to the University of North Carolina. Founded in 1795, it is the nation's first and oldest state supported university and is ranked as one of the top ten in the country.

The history of Chapel Hill is linked to the university and the college continues to be the town's major employer. It serves as a focal point for many community activities including theater, concerts, guest speakers and championship sports.

The town is nationally recognized for its high quality public education system. Excellent health care services are provided by North Carolina Memorial Hospital and nearby medical services in Durham.

While growth in Chapel Hill and Carrboro has been the most restricted of the Triangle communities, recent development in both towns now broadens the housing market considerably. New construction in a wide variety of styles is available as well as the traditional homes in the more established neighborhoods.

Chapel Hill and Carrboro offer big city life and small town living. The cosmopolitan atmosphere, abundant resources and amenities and the aura of the best college town in America, contribute to the charm and appeal of this community . The youthful enthusiasm of the student population blends easily with professionals, executives, artists, retirees and world famous people, all fitting naturally into a way of life that is Chapel Hill.
