Carrboro sits just west of Chapel Hill and shares its transit system and school district. The town is compact, and much of it is walkable or bikeable.
Housing
Expect older mill houses, mid-century ranches, townhomes and some newer infill. Inventory is limited, so homes in central Carrboro can sell quickly.
Daily life
- The Carrboro Farmers' Market runs year-round on Saturdays, with weekday seasons too
- Weaver Street Market's lawn is a community gathering spot
- Cat's Cradle hosts touring bands
- Bike lanes and the Libba Cotten Bikeway connect to Chapel Hill
Things to check
Some properties outside town limits are in Orange County's jurisdiction, with different zoning and services. Confirm with the county.
