Developments in Chapel Hill Area
With a growing amount of national attention focused on the area around North Carolina's Research Triangle Park, new construction in the area is on the rise. The Chapel Hill and Durham areas are home to a number of planned neighborhoods catering to Triangle area professionals and their families. Some of the most desirable developments include Southern Village, Meadowmont, Governor's Club, and The Oaks.
Southern Village was borne of the combined efforts of the Chapel Hill town planning commission and D.R. Bryan of Bryan Properties. Construction began in 1994, and today the Village is a thriving, self-contained community of 1,150 residential units (530 of which are single-family homes). The overall design was based on historical communities, and features a "Market Street" commercial area, narrow, tree-lined residential avenues, and an open town square where members of the community gather for various events. Community amenities include the Southern Village Pool and Racquet Club, the Lumina Theater, numerous parks and greenways, and a Park-and-Ride facility served by Chapel Hill public transportation. Single-family home prices range from the $300s to well over $1 million.
Meadowmont is a 435-acre extension of the town of Chapel Hill, situated just minutes from the University of North Carolina's Chapel Hill campus. This planned neighborhood features narrow tree-lined streets, attractive single-family homes with southern-style front porches and stone or brick walls, as well as a smattering of estate-style properties with wooded lots, plus a whole host of community amenities. In addition to the neighborhood's numerous single-family homes, Meadowmont also features condominiums and luxury town homes. Meadowmont Village is a central retail and commercial area within the community, and features its own town square, complete with outdoor eateries, shopping venues, and office space.
Golf enthusiasts will delight in the properties available at the Governor's Club, a prestigious golf community in Chatham County, just minutes from Durham and Chapel Hill. Away from the bustle of the cities, Governor's Club properties offer country club living at its finest, with convenient access to Research Triangle Park and other commercial areas. Homes in this community are stately and luxurious, and cater to buyers seeking exclusive residences. Prices range well into the millions, and properties are well worth the sizable investment. Estates are situated on large manicured lots designed for comfort and privacy, and are outfitted with all the finest amenities. Townhomes in the Vance Villa neighborhood are priced starting in the mid-$400s and feature open floor plans, spacious decks for entertaining, and well-appointed master suites.
The Oaks is a Chapel Hill subdivision that aspires to the highest standards of luxury. Estate homes in The Oaks are among the priciest and most sought-after in the entire Chapel Hill area. Property styles range from Contemporary to Colonial to Traditional, and all homes feature the finest amenities and interior finishes, as well as spacious lots with mature landscaping, and convenient access to central Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Durham. The Oaks also is adjacent to the exclusive (or prestigious) Chapel Hill Country Club.
