Chapel Hill's housing ranges from 1920s cottages a few blocks from campus to newer townhomes and planned communities.
Near downtown and campus
Streets around Franklin Street and the UNC campus include older homes, some in local historic districts. You can walk to shops, restaurants and campus events.
Planned communities
- Southern Village, south of town on US 15-501, combines homes with a village green, shops and a park-and-ride lot.
- Meadowmont, on NC 54 toward Durham, mixes single-family homes, townhomes and a retail center.
- Glen Lennox, home to Christopher's office, mixes older homes with newer apartments, offices and shops.
Wooded neighborhoods
Areas north and east of town have larger lots and mature hardwoods. Some homes are in Durham County with a Chapel Hill address, so check the county before comparing taxes.
Getting around
Chapel Hill Transit is fare-free, and there are bike lanes and greenways across town.
