BriarChapel

Briar Chapel may be the Triangle’s greenest community, with wooded hiking and biking trails, numerous parks and gardens, and a commitment to environmentally friendly living and building practices. At the heart of the neighborhood is the Briar Club, a community center that has a packed activity schedule and full fitness center. It all adds up to one of the most walkable, family-friendly and active neighborhoods around.

Also on the Short List

Southern Village

Southern_VillageSouthern Village is only 15 years old, but it’s already become one of the area’s most desirable addresses. The center of the community is Southern Village Green, which hosts dozens of performances and other events during the summer. And the surrounding shops and restaurants create a true public square where friends can meet.

Lake Forest

But this picturesque neighborhood is actually centrally located in Chapel Hill, with easy access to downtown, as well as the town’s many great schools and businesses. It offers all the comforts of country living with all the convenience of the city.
