A GREAT REASON TO
JUST THE FACTS SOUTHERN VILLAGE Where Southern Village is located just off of U.S. Highway 15-501 past Chapel Hill staple Merritt’s Grill. The 550-home neighborhood centers around a bustling town square with a coffee shop, movie theater, grocery store and more. The central lawn hosts summertime movies and concerts and even festivals like TerraVita and the occasional World Cup gamewatching party. The way the houses surround the town square emphasize the community housed in Southern Village. The neighborhood itself takes up 300 acres, while the pool and tennis center just off the town square invite families to spend their weekends relaxing and exercising. Homes Homes range from townhomes near the square to large single-family homes on the outskirts with a wide range of sizes and styles in between. Schools Neighborhood students attend Mary Scroggs Elementary School, Grey Culbreth Middle School and Carrboro High School.
