Living in our area

The downtown patchwork of storefronts along historic Franklin Street, interrupted by churches and museums, attest to Chapel Hill’s rich culture and diverse opportunities for recreation and enrichment.  Chapel Hill is a true university town—one whose prestigious medical field is led by the schools and hospitals at UNC, and one whose arts and entertainment are fed by student life and work.  The school’s athletics unite the community and create a family out of strangers whose only commonality may be their passion for their team.  Better yet, Chapel Hill is located in the heart of the Triangle area—the clustered cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill—and nearby the suburbs of Cary and Carrboro and neighboring universities like Duke and North Carolina State.  The Triangle’s business core, Research Triangle Park (RTP), contributes to the area’s national recognition as one of the best places in America for business and careers by names as respected as Forbes magazine.
