What Makes Chapel Hill Special?
A Place to Call Home. From historic homes to modern apartments, Chapel Hill offers a variety of living options, and we're building more types of housing. We have big, bold goals around housing and we're taking action to turn those goals into reality.
Education at Its Best. We're known for our excellent K-12 school system and we're home to UNC-Chapel Hill, one of the nation’s top public universities. We also benefit from our outstanding local community colleges. Chapel Hill is a hub for innovation, research, and lifelong learning.
Diverse Community. We're home to college students, retirees, international scholars, generational Black communities, and folks from all walks of life and all corners of the planet. We're committed to including all of them in civic and community life, regardless of how or when they came to call Chapel Hill home.
Arts and Culture. From storied downtown music venues to new public art installations to our Pride and Juneteenth (and basketball) celebrations, Chapel Hill is a community that comes together to celebrate arts, culture, and community.
Honoring our History. Our history is revealed in the rock walls built by Black craftsmen and in the names engraved at Peace & Justice Plaza. We're committed to telling the stories of our past and honoring the people that have helped create our present and influence our future.
Parks and Green Spaces. With miles of trails, parks, and natural areas, Chapel Hill is a great place to explore and enjoy the outdoors - and we're building upon our current greenways to create a connected system that will allow residents to get to work, school, shops, and restaurants without a car.
Local Businesses and Dining. From cozy coffee shops to award-winning restaurants, our local businesses make Chapel Hill a great place to live and visit. No matter where you find yourself - downtown, Southern Village, University Place, or one of our other great business districts - you'll find something for every taste, occasion, and appetite.
Environmental Sustainability. We're committed to protecting our environment through action, infrastructure, and education. Our Climate Action Plan shows our commitment to a green, sustainable future.
