Welcome to the charming town of Chapel Hill; known most notably for the University of North Carolina.

People from across the country admire the town’s history, close–knit friendly mentality with room to breathe, and highly educated population. Focus on what really matters in life, without wasting time in lines or traffic, unless there is a basketball game of course.

Popular neighborhoods range from well-established golf course communities, historic neighborhoods that border UNC’s campus and are known for their mature trees and tradition, and two popular “mixed use” communities with shops, restaurants, schools, parks, and small town atmosphere.

Who are Chapel Hillians?

Dine in a restaurant on Franklin Street or stroll around and you will catch a glimpse of the wide array of captivating residents that call this pedestrian friendly town their home.

UNC Tar Heel students, entrepreneurs, business executives, writers, artists, golfers, families, gardeners, retirees, musicians, marathoners, cyclists, dogs, actors, designers, community organizers, and athletes are just a few of the fascinating locals you may run into.

Residents or alumni know how to enjoy a sunny afternoon on the wraparound terrace of the restaurant, Top of the Hill or when to put everything down and cheer on the Tar Heels. Most residents are hard working and deeply engaged in the arts, community service, sports and outdoor recreation, places of worship, and politics.
