Home To The Nation's first public university, Chapel Hill is ideally located 2.5 hours from both the beach and the mountains.
With a population of approximately 48,000 people, Chapel Hill feels like a small town but features many larger town attractions and amenities. The University of North Carolina has over 20,000 students and is consistently rated as one of the nation's greatest institutions of higher learning. In addition, Chapel Hill also ranks as one of the top five places to retire in the United States.
Much like Meadowmont, Chapel Hill is very pedestrian friendly. Franklin Street, with its sidewalks and tree-lined streets, offers unique shopping and dining experiences just one block from campus. Many of the area attractions listed below are within easy walking/biking distance of both Franklin Street and Meadowmont.
