A guide to buying, selling, and renting in the home of UNC.
Chapel Hill is a town mostly in Orange County, with a smaller part in Durham County. It grew up around the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which was chartered in 1789, and the university and UNC Health are still the center of town life. Chapel Hill sits next to Carrboro, and the two towns share a downtown feel along Franklin Street.
Historic homes line the streets near campus and downtown. Farther out, wooded lots and rolling terrain are common, and planned communities such as Southern Village (off US 15-501) and Meadowmont (off NC 54) mix homes, townhomes, and shops. Condos and townhomes near campus and bus lines are popular with university staff and graduate students.
Rental demand in Chapel Hill is shaped by the university calendar. If you plan to rent a home to students, check the town's zoning and occupancy rules first. We can help you think through it.
The North Carolina Botanical Garden, Carolina North Forest, and the Bolin Creek Trail are local favorites, and Jordan Lake is a short drive south. UNC athletics, concerts, and campus events bring a steady calendar of things to do.
Most of Chapel Hill is served by Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, a separate district from the Orange County Schools system. Homes in the Durham County part of town are served by Durham Public Schools. Confirm school assignment for the exact address with the district before you buy or lease.
