Meadowmont Chapel Hill

If you're settling or thinking of settling in North Carolina's Heartlands, Meadowmont Chapel Hill is well worth a good hard look. The community evokes old town America. It abounds with stone walls, tree-lined streets and comfortable front porches along the gentle hills of the surrounding land.

It lies on both sides of Highway 54 and within reach of the main roads, I-40 and I-85, but not near enough that you'd know it while you're there. Established on 435 acres, Meadowmont Chapel Hill is named for a nearby estate now on the National Register of Historic Places. House styles range from condominiums to cottages, to town homes to row houses.

The Benefits of Meadowmont Chapel Hill

More generally, those who call Meadowmont Chapel Hill home have both the famous triangle at their fingertips but, like all in the area, the rest of North Carolina as well. Lying midway between the Great Smoky Mountains and the Outer Banks, the Piedmont is within 200 miles and a comfortable drive of each. Within immediate range are countless cultural, leisure and sporting opportunities.

The triangle itself is named for the three universities and university towns so close together--the world-renowned Duke University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and North Carolina State. These three strong institutions gave rise in the 1950s to the nearby Research Triangle Park. A research and development park of some 100 facilities, it pays some $1.5 billion in annual salaries and employs about 18,000 local residents.
