Chapel Hill is one of those towns that has an abundance of charm and personality. Although it is home to the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill is much more than just a college town. It is a rare blend of southern charm and hospitality, new trends, tradition, techno-savvy, good food, healthy living and great weather. As a popular North Carolina college town and retirement destination all rolled into one, Chapel Hill combines the ‘young and the restless’ with a seasoned, wise, but still very active baby boomer population. It has great restaurants along Franklin Street, intelligent residents that are very focused on healthy living, and great parks. The University brings energy, intellectual curiosity, culture and a great long-standing college basketball rivalry (with neighboring Duke University) to Chapel Hill. Combine this with the scientists, researchers, patent holders, Nobel Prize winners and other innovators that arrive via their jobs at nearby Research Triangle Park, and you’ve got a unique populace. With nearby lakes, the beach 2 hours to the east and the Blue Ridge Mountains an easy drive to the west, it’s easy to see why Chapel Hill is called ‘the Southern part of heaven’!
