    Living in Chapel Hill, NC

    Chapel Hill is a pleasant small town in North Carolina that’s often dubbed the “Southern Part of Heaven”. It’s a great renting choice for people of all ages who enjoy having access to excellent schools, a thriving cultural and artistic scene and a plethora of restaurants and coffee shops to choose from. Chapel Hill is part of the Research Triangle, along with nearby Durham and Raleigh, which translates into excellent job opportunities and a highly educated, diverse population of renters. With the influx of well-paid workers, living costs have gone up in recent years, and Chapel Hill is slightly more expensive than the national average. The weather in Chapel Hill is often hot and humid, with short, cold winters — but renters can easily escape to the beach or the mountains, both of which are located within a 3-hour drive.

    Renting in Chapel Hill, NC

    Chapel Hill is relatively evenly divided by renters and homeowners, due in part to the presence of the University of North Carolina in the town. Housing prices are significantly higher than the national average and even more so than the North Carolina average. This is a diverse city, catering to college students, well-established executives and families. Chapel Hill has a mix of single-family homes in a wide variety of price ranges, condo communities and affordable rental apartments. For example, Governor’s Club is a higher-end, award-winning planned community located around a golf course. Meanwhile, the Historic districts around UNC are a mixed bag of grand old homes and rental options for students. Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent.
