You will love Chapel Hill, NC. Located in the heart of the Research Triangle Park and minutes away from Raleigh, which was recently ranked the No. 2 “best city to live in” by Kiplinger Magazine. Chapel Hill is a short drive to the coast or to the mountains, wine country, shopping, exciting atmosphere, and good southern food - Chapel Hill has much to offer. We’re not the only ones who think so. In 2008 Forbes Magazine ranked Chapel Hill No. 7 on the list of best “college sport towns,” citing an excellent school system and low crime rate. In addition, great weather and lower cost of living make the Research Triangle Park and Chapel Hill a great place to call home.
