What’s your favorite annual event each year and why?

Chatham Artists Guild Studio Tour.

Close to 40 of Chatham’s most accomplished local artists, from painters to sculptors to potters to photographers, open their studios for two weekends in December. The Guild provides maps on their website, and you tour much of the county with stops to view – or buy!

– fantastic local art in the studios where it was made.

Even though I’ve never actually participated in it, I’ve always had the Tar Heel 10 Miler on my bucket list. I’ve run the course (except for the steep hill!), but never officially.

This year is my year!

Carrboro Music Festival is quite an amazing event because it showcases all the local talent we have here in Orange County and throughout the state. You can spend the whole weekend discovering your new favorite local bands.

Looking back, I always enjoyed Festifall for the great vendors and music! A Tasteful Affair, a fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House, used to be one of my favorite events, too. I look forward to getting back to both events.

Although this event is relatively new, I loved the experience of The Carolina Inn’s Holiday Market. I can’t wait to go again!

I love going to the Hillsborough Candlelight Tour. It’s a chance to visit historic homes and buildings while they are decorated for the holidays. It’s a warm and cozy/ relaxed way to start celebrating the Christmas season.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Greetings from Chapel Hill very year, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce presents the State of the Community Report. You can think of it as a status report of where we stand compared to other towns and

E

counties. Like anything, there’s always room for improvement, but generally, our community is doing pretty well. (See the key findings on page 60.)

Inspired by the report, here’s my own list of the top reasons I love living here: 1) The weather. We are so lucky to have Carolina blue skies most days of the year, making outdoor movies at Southern Village and eating outside enjoyable.

2) The arts. World-class musicians and ensembles stop through town frequently thanks to Carolina Performing Arts and Cat’s Cradle. And the local talent is pretty amazing, too – attend a PlayMakers Repertory Company show and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

3) The food. The cornbread at ACME. The fried peach hand pie at Lula’s. The weekly bounty at the farmers markets. Top of the Hill’s blueberry wheat beer. I could go on and on.

4) UNC. Sure, I’m biased as a UNC alumna, but you haven’t lived until you’ve lost your voice at a Carolina basketball game or looked through the telescope at the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center or attended a free lecture on campus.

5) Shopping local. When I need a birthday card, I go to Cameron’s. One of my favorite purses is from Uniquities, and I have the PTA Thrift Store to thank for my coffee table.

6) The people. With every issue we put out, I learn more about my neighbors, and I know with certainty that there’s not a more giving, talented, passionate community out there.

I hope you have a wonderful stay in town – or maybe you’re here for the foreseeable future – either way, welcome to the Southern part of heaven!

Chapel Hill has a lot to offer when it comes to its outdoor spaces. Here are a few of our favorites.

Taking a break from their busy schedule, the Rhee family relaxes at New Hope Church Camp and Conference Center in Chapel Hill.

24 2019 Visitors & Relocation Guide

• Grab a bike with a basket and head to the Carrboro Farmers’ Market along the Frances Shetley Bikeway. Or gear up with your mountain bike to tackle one of the more challenging trails around Briar Chapel on a Triangle OffRoad Cyclists ride.

• Pack up the kids, dogs and sports equipment and head to Cedar Falls Park, which offers athletic fields, a playground, picnic area and hiking trails.

• Take a walk along the Morgan Creek Trail and end up at Merritt’s Pasture, the perfect place for a picnic or to watch a sunset.

• Take an afternoon to stroll through the North Carolina Botanical Garden offering displays of North Carolinian vegetation.

• Enjoy a serene walk by the creek with a four-legged friend at Umstead Park or bring them to the designated dog parks like at Southern Community Park or Carrboro’s Hank Anderson III Community Park.

PARKS & RECREATION

Next Stop, Please Carless? Just want to go green? Chapel Hill’s bus system is a great alternative to finding your way around town and exploring. The big blue buses operated by Chapel Hill Transit go all around and in town with completely free rides no matter the distance.

Catch a ride to campus on a fall Saturday to Kenan Stadium for a day full of football, or go to Franklin Street for some coffee. Head away from campus to Southern Village for a movie at The Lumina or a bite to eat.

To see all possible travel options, go to townofchapelhill.org for maps, bus frequencies and the time required to get from one place to another. Bus schedules and routes vary between weekends and weekdays, and bus frequencies vary throughout the day.

hinking about starting a business? You’ll be in good company – our area is home to impressive retailers, forward-looking startups and a host of social enterprises. We asked Aaron Nelson, the president and CEO of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce, for his advice, how the chamber can help and predictions for the future.

What would you tell someone who is thinking of moving here? If you like blue skies, good food, school spirit and a small-town feel conveniently situated to the world-renowned Research Triangle Park, then you’ll love Chapel Hill. Many already know Chapel Hill as a great place to live, learn, work and play – but many don’t realize we are also a great place to start and grow a business. Entrepreneur Magazine named Chapel Hill #5 on a list of U.S. Cities for Entrepreneurs to Live and Launch.

taking care of business We will: ADVOCATE for your business and the business interests of our community; CONNECT you with the people information and resources you need to thrive; PROMOTE your business and our community; SAVE MONEY and lower the cost of doing business.

CarolinaChamber.org

If someone is moving to this area and they know they want to open a business, where do they start?

Starting a business takes guts, and your local chamber will be with you every step of the way. From understanding the market and navigating the regulatory environment to recruiting talent and driving business, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce is committed to serving and advancing the interests of business and building a sustainable community where business thrives. Drop by our office on Estes Drive just off Franklin Street – we are at your service.

Any recommendations for making the area feel like home? The key to making an area feel like home is knowing your neighbors and neighborhood. The number one thing any new resident can do is enroll in Leadership Chapel Hill-Carrboro.

Participants finish the program well-positioned to get involved and make a positive difference alongside new friends. Learn more at carolinachamber.org/leadership.

How would you describe the business community in Chapel Hill / Carrboro? While diverse in size and industry, the business community in Chapel Hill is best described as thoughtfully engaged. Business leaders are at the table with local government officials and nonprofit leaders, working together to make a positive difference in the lives of our residents. Through chamber [gatherings], we discuss what it means and what it takes to foster a more sustainable community, and we take collective action. We are working to make Chapel Hill a great place to start a business, raise a family and retire, and there is room at the table for new residents who wish to be a part of something meaningful and lasting.

What kinds of things can the Chamber help with?

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce is a membership organization and there are benefits to membership.

We connect members with the people and information they need to thrive, advocate for business interests, promote our community and our members and help save money and lower the costs of doing business. I like how some members put it: “We do business better because we work together,” and “If you do business in Chapel Hill, being a Chamber member is a must. It supports you, promotes you, and provides great info.”

HILLSBOROUGH We spent an afternoon in the historic downtown, asking locals where to go next 12:07 p.m. – The Wooden Nickel Pub

All the outdoor tables at The Wooden Nickel Pub are occupied on this sunny spring day in Hillsborough, so I take a seat at the bar. Matt Novik, communications and visitors services coordinator at The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough, is finishing up a patty melt and tater tots and points to the daily specials on the wall, saying the sandwiches are not to be missed. I order a Nickel-Fil-a, a pickle-brined chicken breast sandwich, and make a mental note to come back for a pint, given the It’s hard to find a more perfect paring than a nickel-fil-a sandwich and a pint at the wooden nickel pub. extensive beer list. Matt suggests going to Purple Crow Books. “During my Randy knows that Allan Gurganus is working on something new lunch breaks, I often wander around town and pop in to look at and that Lee Smith comes in while walking her dog. (Another fun new titles,” Matt tells me. “They’ve got a section on North Carolina fact I learn that day – Purple Crow Books welcomes well-behaved authors.” When Matt leaves, I tell the bartender what I’m up to pups!) Randy works two days a week at the bookstore that Sharon and how much I enjoyed my first visit. He says, “You’ve been to Wheeler opened nearly a decade ago and says he moved to town Hillsborough but haven’t been to the Nickel before today? This is after living in Durham. We chat about the Riverwalk and the Hillsborough’s living room.”

Mountains-to-Sea Trail. He tells me to check out Dual Supply Co. and some of the art galleries in town – so off I go.

local section. Given that Hillsborough is home to dozens of writers and authors, I ask whether he ever spots them. “They are very interactive with this community,” he says. “They are very good about stopping by. They aren’t hidden away.” That might explain how

Whether you’re looking for firestarter, cords or a broom, you’ll find it here. “It’s not easy to browse, but they know where everything is,” Randy says of the family-owned hardware store. A customer walks in and owner Jeff Woods greets her, asking, “Are you here for the

wheelbarrow?” Lost among the long aisles of things I’m not in the market for and with all the customers waiting for help, I head outside. The shop’s Carolina blue rocking chair makes for a good people-watching spot as I figure out which of the many art galleries to visit. Across the street, a couple sips iced coffee at Cup A Joe while two guys peer into King Street Bar as the lanterns flicker. A radio is humming with a WHUP broadcast.

1:34 p.m. – Margaret Lane Gallery

It’s quiet in the gallery space that Mary Knox and her husband, David (above right), opened in January 2017.

But come Last Fridays in Hillsborough, the atmosphere on those evenings is truly festive, something that still delights the couple a year and a half into their recent venture. “We both retired and decided that it was time for a new adventure,” Mary says. “We had never owned a gallery, never done anything with retail.” She also says the art in the main room changes the Wednesday before a Last Friday but to stop by anytime to see paintings and sculpture from local artists, including David’s photography upstairs. “It’s amazing in this area the number of talented people,” she tells me. “We have had people find us and ask to be included.” Mary advises me to take the short walk to Volume, a record store and bar, to visit Tony Lopez. “He is obviously doing the things he loves and it shows in the atmosphere,” she says.

2:18 p.m. – Volume

Grammy-winning band The Stereotypes is playing on the record player as I grab a stool. Tony, who grew up in Durham, says it was an easy decision to open. “To the best of my knowledge, there’s never been a record store in Hillsborough,” Tony tells me. “I fell in love with the building.” Customers have been extremely welcoming since he and co-owner Nathan Andrews opened in October 2017, bringing their favorite records and enjoying throwbacks. “People have come in and shared stories about vinyl that has meant a lot to them,” Tony says. He suggests I head over to Mystery Brewing Public House (now closed) for their fantastic seasonal menu.

2:47 p.m. – Carlisle & Linny Vintage Jewelry

While I would love to be sipping a Letter 23, Mystery’s limited release Strawberry Lavender Saison, I have more exploring to do. I walk up to Carlisle & Linny Vintage Jewelry, which would celebrate its fourth birthday that weekend. As I look through the selection of one-of-a-kind pieces culled from all over the country, owner Lindsley Bowen stops in with shop dog, Tucker. She tells me how she ended up moving to town: “I didn’t actually choose Hillsborough – Hillsborough chose me! It felt like a small town where I could make my mark as a real member of the community.” Lindsley says the widening of the sidewalks in downtown is not the only improvement to make a difference to locals and visitors. “I hear griping about lack of parking, but that is few and far between – and a complete myth. We have a huge parking deck that is easy to access and right downtown. Plus, there is parking all along King Street,” she tells me.

“One just has to be willing to walk a bit more than they’re used to – but it’s pretty here, so a walk should be appreciated!”

Having walked all over town myself, I happen to agree. I left Hillsborough that afternoon armed with an even longer to-do list since I know I barely scratched the surface – Pasta at Panciuto! Pizza at Radius! Vintage cowboy boots at Uniquitiques! – thanks to some very helpful locals. –Jessica Stringer chapelhillmagazine.com 43

DAY TRIP

CARRBORO Two locals share a few must-visits “Here at Cameron’s, we love everything Carrboro, and since we’re located right next to the Hampton Inn we get to share our love with lots of out-of-town guests. For folks looking for gifts or souvenirs created locally, we suggest WomanCraft Gifts and the North Carolina Crafts Gallery. Fleet Feet Sports nurtures a great running community by organizing running groups while sharing the latest trends in athletic wear. If you are more of an “off-road” exerciser, Townsend Bertram & Company will get you outfitted. Every town needs a beautiful boutique and for Carrboro, Sofia’s Boutique is just that. Owner Chrystina has honed in on the Carrboro vibe with her fashion-forward but comfortable clothing lines. And perhaps because Carrboro is so environmentally conscious, the town boasts two thrift stores: the PTA Thrift Shop and Club Nova Thrift Shop.”

–Bridget Pemberton-Smith, chair of the Carrboro Business Alliance and co-owner of Cameron’s gift gallery

“Art penetrates everything in Carrboro, from the beautiful public architecture of the Carrboro Farmers’ Market to the Michael Brown mural gracing the facade of Weaver Street Realty. Check out Leo Gaev, a metalworker on Lloyd Street whose sculptural work includes staircases, lighting and furniture, or the extraordinary Mike Roig, whose large kinetic sculptures undulate and spin from the yard of his studio on Hillsborough Road. The ArtsCenter is one of the linchpins of our regional art scene, featuring classes, galleries and performance space. Then there’s The Clay Centre on Lloyd Street and LIGHT Art + Design, a unique contemporary gallery off Rosemary Street and on the Carrboro/Chapel Hill line.

Carrboro sponsors a lively 2nd Friday ArtWalk, hangs art on the walls of the Carrboro Town Hall and sports several coffeehouses with galleries, including Open Eye and Looking Glass Cafe. I think it’s also right to point out Glenn’s Tattoo Service on Rosemary, which has over 3,000 Instagram followers, and Adam Phillips, who has a beautiful little dance studio in the Peck and Artisans building across from the PTA Thrift Shop. It’s all art, all over town.” –Gary Phillips, Carrboro’s 2016-2018 poet laureate and owner of Weaver Street Realty PHOTO BY BETH MANN

CHATHAM COUNTY a fun-filled 48 hours down 15-501 How would you spend a weekend in Chatham? You could spend 48 hours taking it all in and never see the same thing twice. Friday, start with a quick shopping visit to Steel Roots Home Decor for unique furniture finds. Minutes away is Fearrington Village, where during the sunniest six months of the year, Roost Beer Garden has live music. Explore the shops and check out the famous Belted Galloway cows while you’re there. Then head down to Pittsboro for more shopping at French Connections and dinner at Elizabeth’s Pizza. Or maybe you’re in the mood for more live music at Pittsboro Roadhouse or The City Tap. Wake up Saturday at a local B&B, like Small Street (people rave about the lemon ricotta hotcakes) or 458 West, get some coffee downtown at Blue Dot Cafe on the main drag or Sweet Bee Caffe in the Pittsboro Center for the Arts, then get ready for a day of tours!

Start at the Carolina Tiger Rescue, featuring dozens of big cats in a federally licensed rescue environment (no touching, no feeding, reservations required). Then head back to town for a beverage tour at The Plant, home to Abundance NC. Try spirits from Fair Game Beverage Co., something sweet from Starrlight Mead and top it off at Chatham Cider Works (brewery plans are in the works). Next, head down I-64 toward Siler City.

BUSINESS RESOURCES

business-minded Our area is home to impressive retailers, forward-looking startups and a host of social enterprises. Here, a look at downtown Chapel Hill’s innovation district, plus a directory of business resources and stats. ick Ghitelman’s route

to entrepreneurship has followed a distinctly Chapel Hill path.

A UNC graduate, Nick left a stint at Cary-based SAS early in the decade for a job as an executive at Southern Season, the venerable food and cooking emporium that has long evoked a quintessential Chapel Hill business spirit: proudly local, a bit eccentric and grounded in onlyfind-it-here retail.

Then when he and two friends from SAS founded Quantworks, a data analysis firm, they quickly ran into a reality that tech-savvy startups have faced for years: Downtown Chapel Hill has long had more opportunity for retail and restaurants than small businesses.

That’s when they landed at Launch Chapel Hill, the accelerator

Launch is one of the centerpieces of a new attitude in downtown real estate that local leaders hope will draw in more small businesses like Quantworks. The story of Quantworks, says Chapel Hill Mayor Pam Hemminger, and the other Launch startups is exactly what town officials had in mind when they envisioned Launch as anchoring an ‘innovation’ zone in the heart of downtown. The area town officials point to is the stretch between West Franklin and Rosemary streets near Launch and tech behemoth Google.

Though traditional retail remains on the block, much of the off-street space is now focused on tech office space.

space off Rosemary Street. Founded as a joint project between the town, UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, county officials and private backers, Launch offers 7,000 square feet of workspace to entrepreneur teams in startup-size slices. The organization picks between eight and twelve teams of entrepreneurs every year and offers low rents on workspaces as small as single desks. The facility offers entrepreneurs like Nick and his partners the chance to work and share tips and ideas with other teams, each trying to launch their own business.

“It was very much connecting the dots,” says Nick. “Everything around Launch is an ecosystem built for small business.” Since leaving Launch for space in a former yoga studio on Rosemary Street, Quantworks has ballooned to 25 employees, plus interns who are mostly UNC and Duke students.

“Launch is the cohesive space,” says Pam. “What it provides is an innovation ecosystem to grow this network with the availability of office space and finding resources you need to make your business grow.”

Pam says the town, the downtown partnership and UNC hope to soon establish Launch as its own nonprofit, formalizing its downtown role.

According to Launch, alumni companies had raised over $20 million by the end of 2016 and created 250 jobs in Orange County. And word is starting to spread in the tech world about Chapel Hill. The program recently received 25 applications for its 12 spots in the next class. Launch expects the round after that to bring in four applicants for every spot.

FAVORITE DATE NIGHT

party of two

Five walkable date nights Date #1 5:30 p.m. bartaco On a nice night, grab one of the tables outside. Order a half-dozen tacos to split and a fun drink or two – the Paloma Fresca features grapefruit and tequila.

6:30 p.m. Silverspot Cinema No one will call you a cheap date if you go to the movies on a Tuesday – $8 tickets are pretty hard to pass up.

But, would your date prefer a throwback movie or even taped opera or theatre offering?

PHOTO BY BETH MANN

9:30 p.m. City Kitchen After your movie, stroll over to another pretty patio for a half-price bottles of wine (Tuesdays) or $5 glasses of wine (Wednesdays).

Date #2 6 p.m. Weaver Street Market The live music series on the lawn runs most Thursday evenings in the summer from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Carrboro location and best of all, they’re free and make for good people-watching!

7:30 p.m. Glasshalfull Take a seat at the cozy bar with a glass of wine and charcuterie plate.

You’ll have a hard time choosing from all the different options for the rest of your meal – mini lobster & shrimp rolls and a light beet salad were on the early summer menu.

Jared “Jay” Rayfield-Bates and Stephen Rayfield-Bates say the diversity of amazing restaurants is one of the many reasons why they chose to live here.

9 p.m. Steel String Brewery Wind down with a pint of Tenderness Honeysuckle Ale. Or maybe Neutral Milk Porter is more your speed.

Either way, you and your date will find a beer to love.

Date #3 6:30 p.m. SallyMack Stop in and meet the “mayor of Midtown Market,” Sally Stollmack, and she’ll help you pick out a meaningful gift. From handbags to vases and candles, her store specializes in delightful finds.

7 p.m. Flyleaf Books Authors stop by this charming bookstore all the time – listen to one discuss the inspiration behind their latest release and you may just be tempted to buy a signed copy.

8:30 p.m. Kitchen With dinner so late, you’ll have room at the charming bistro for the wild mushroom goat cheese tart, and you can’t skip the mussels and fries. Maybe you saved room for the honey lavender cheesecake with fresh berries?

Date #4 5:30 p.m. Elaine’s on Franklin Get in early for the special threecourse $35 prix fixe dinner. It’s a great opportunity to try a few things on the menu like green tomato-avocado gazpacho with roasted chiles and three cheese soufflé.

7 p.m. The Baxter With pinball machines and old school games, your competitive side will come out at this barcade. Impress your date with your skills on the Elvira Scared Stiff pinball machine or Mario Bros. and remember to bring your quarters.

9 p.m. Beer Study End the night with a pint on the patio. The guys behind the bar can make a great recommendation, and you may see a pup or two. They’ve got a good selection of North Carolina canned beer, so pick out a six-pack to go.

Date #5 6 p.m. Lantern Enjoy dinner out on the hidden-from-the-street Lantern Garden where these days, spicy lemongrass tofu and Korean BBQ’d local pork chop grace the menu.

7 p.m. Nerd Nite Chapel Hill You don’t have to be a geek to appreciate these TED Talk-like chats held once a month at different Chapel Hill locations. Three speakers will wax on about topics as varied as the whys and hows of board games to United States coins you probably never knew existed.

9 p.m. Local 506 The doors for a show might open at 8 p.m., but you’ve got time to get to the music venue which has been hosting acts from far and wide since 1992.

ith all due respect to Mr. Kuralt, maybe it is the well a little, as the beautiful landmark in the heart of campus is equal parts artifact,

OLD EAST UNC is America’s first state university and Old East was the first building constructed to house it. The cornerstone was laid on Oct. 12, 1793 – nearly a century later, Oct. 12 was declared Carolina’s birthday, or, as folks on campus refer to it, University Day. In 1966, Old East became a national historic landmark. Today, the renovated building serves as a residence hall housing male and female students.

This is from The Carolina Story historical exhibit: “On January 21, 1795, the MOREHEAD-PATTERSON BELL TOWER Board of Trustees of the Since 1931, the Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower has stood watching University of North Carolina resolved ‘that the Commissionary for over Carolina’s campus. It used to contain 12 bells that were manually carrying on the buildings of the University be authorized to cause a operated by the master bell ringer, who was said to have the “key to Well to be sunk, and erect such necessary buildings as they conceive the city.” Now there are 14 mechanically operated bells that chime useful for the Institution.’ Soon after, a well was dug and covered every 15 minutes. Although the tower is seldom open to the general with a wooden shelter. For most of the next century, students, faculty public, it’s a UNC tradition that seniors are allowed to climb to the and staff of the university relied on this well for their drinking and top just before graduation. bathing water. In 1897, University President Edwin Alderman, concerned about campus aesthetic appearance, proposed the building of a new structure over the Old Well, based What is it that binds us to this place as to no other?

THE PIT

COKER ARBORETUM

You might guess that the sunken courtyard beside the Student Union is more commonly called “The Pit.” It’s the No. 1 spot for action on campus, as it is a popular gathering place and the site of many speeches and performances. The Pit’s south side steps lead to Student Stores in the Daniels Building. The north side steps lead to Lenoir Hall, the main dining hall on campus. It’s said that if you sit in The Pit between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., you will see every Carolina student pass through.

At the corner of Cameron Avenue and Raleigh Road is a quiet haven for nature walks and picnics. The Coker Arboretum was established in 1903 by Dr. William Chambers Coker, the university’s first professor of botany, as an outdoor classroom for botany students. Today, it is managed by the North Carolina Botanical Garden and includes a collection of both native N.C. plants and foreign trees and shrubs.

HOW TO GET TICKETS TO A UNC GAME 1 Call the UNC Athletic Ticket Office at 919-962-2296 or visit goheels.com. For most Carolina events, getting a ticket is as easy as showing up when the game is about to begin. Admission for all regular season events is free for the following UNC sports: cross country, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, women’s lacrosse, rowing, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, volleyball and wrestling. Boshamer Stadium (baseball) and Carmichael Arena CONTRIBUTE (women’s basketball and volleyball) are both

It’s true that UNC teams have produced their fair share of champions over the years – many people associate the university with sports as much as anything else. There are a ton of opportunities to watch athletics at this Division I school that’s won 44 NCAA championships between its 28 varsity programs. Here’s how you can get that chance:

2 Show up early on game day. If you missed the dates for ticket sales and the game you want to attend is sold out, try getting to the venue a few hours early. Occasionally, if you’re lucky, the ticket office will be selling a few remaining seats. If there’s inclement weather during basketball season, season ticket holders who live far away might not be able to make it into town and will turn their tickets in. That’s one of the best times to try to get tickets in addition to the early-in-theseason games when students are on winter break in December and January.

fantastic places to watch a game. The field hockey team now has a new on-campus facility while a new soccer complex built was scheduled to be finished in January 2019. For football and men’s basketball, tickets go on sale months in advance of the season, with in-conference and rivalry games selling out in a matter of days.

3 Join the Rams Club. This group of UNC boosters gets first priority for season tickets in football and for individual game tickets and mini-season packages in basketball. After a certain gift level, members are guaranteed season tickets. Hey, it’s not cheap, but there’s a certain peace of mind knowing you’ll be there when UNC beats Duke.

REAL ESTATE

Tisha Powell-Wayne, kids Nina and Evangeline and James Wayne in their home just north of Chapel Hill. Tisha is an anchor with ABC11 Eyewitness News and James is a pediatrician for UNC Health Care.

for sale Starting your home search? We asked Randy Cox – president of the Orange Chatham Association of Realtors – to offer some insights about our real estate market.

What would you tell folks who are thinking of moving to the area? What are the biggest surprises?

First and foremost, I would tell them to orient themselves to the different cities and municipalities that make up the Triangle.

Obviously, where you work, schools and children are factors.

Another thing is if you are relocating back to the area. We have a lot of folks who were here 10 or 15 years ago, and there’s been a lot of change. I used to say that when people move to North Carolina, Chapel Hill was the only place to live, but that was 30 years ago. Now, outside of our four walls of Chapel Hill, Durham has a reputation as a new and great place to live.

Chatham is now on the map; Hillsborough is on the map. For someone who was here 20 years ago, it’s a changed geography.

If someone is moving to this market and they know they want to buy, where do they start?

I say this not just as the head of our 96 2019 Visitors & Relocation Guide

association, but I truly believe there is value in someone who is local and understands the market to be a resource. I would call a reputable real estate firm or agent that has experience in the marketplace. At the end of the day, we should ask who is going to help me and represent me in what is the largest asset that I’m going to acquire in my life.

Randy has been a part of the Orange and Chatham county communities for more than 35 years and now lives at The Preserve at Jordan Lake. He has been married to his wife, Tanya, for 20 years, with three children, Kennedy, 15, Sydney, 14, and Grayson, 10. Randy won national championships on the UNC lacrosse teams in 1981 and 1982 and is both the broker in charge at Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston and a licensed general contractor who co-owns Horizon Custom Builders LLC.

What advice would you give to someone renting for a year versus buying immediately?

Purchasing real estate is emotional. It needs to be viewed both as being personal and also as a business transaction. There are so many variables to purchasing today versus tomorrow.

There’s not just the home but being able to afford what you purchase. The rising interest rates have an impact and available inventory is important. With rising prices and interest rates, the house you think might be $400,000 now might cost $425,000.

Another factor is they may have a house to sell. Many times they can’t maintain a house

in Michigan, but a lot of times you’ll have a real estate professional here working with professionals there, getting a feel for when that house might sell. Hopefully that’s real time intelligence, and we’ll create a timeline for what needs to happen here.

And on the other hand, with limited inventory, some people may not be willing

to settle for a lesser house than they want, so it forces them to rent.

Are you noticing any particular neighborhoods becoming more popular over time?

Chatham County is a success story.

Chatham Park is up and coming.

Hillsborough has tremendous potential – the ability to bring new construction into the equation is just tremendous. Obviously downtown Durham – the revitalization and the overhauling of the downtown has created a buzz for Durham. But if I look at it as a whole, it is really a testament to what is

the Triangle. It’s not micro-pockets, and the driving force is we have so much to offer.

Can you speak to any trends in the market as Vice President of Horizon Custom Homes?

Absolutely, positively one of the things

Any predictions for the market in 2019?

I wish I had a crystal ball. I am of the opinion that we’ll see much of the same.

I think there will be a slight slowdown in new construction that starts in anticipation of a slowdown in the marketplace in 2020.

There’ll be a stabilization, a slight drop in pricing, ever so slight, and interest rates will have an effect on the velocity of the market. I still think there is dated inventory

in many markets we operate in that need to be enhanced and improved to make it sellable. Remodels and renovation are still part of our market. So steady as she goes.

How competitive is this market?

How long do homes stay on the market?

We’ve seen a steady decrease in days on market. It’s certainly price dependent, but anything below $500,000 is seeing 45 to 60 days on the market. In a stable market, you want five months of inventory. Below is the definition of a seller’s market.

Upper price-points are not that way.

Once you’ve moved here, what do you recommend to make Chapel Hill feel like home?

Get involved in the community. Get involved with the downtown events.

Chapel Hill is unique in that it has a university that is a big part of the environment, both academically and athletically. And Chapel Hill is a special place. The people we talk to when they are coming here want access to the downtown, to restaurants and to quality sporting events. CHM

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

We take a closer look at seven distinct neighborhoods in Chatham and Orange counties Briar Chapel tacy and Mike Thrower

moved to Chatham in 2013 from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Triangle offered a great home base for Mike’s job, and they loved the public schools available for their four children. While friends encouraged them to look at Apex, they found themselves driving around Chatham and stumbled across the entrance to Briar Chapel, about three miles south of the Orange County line on 15-501. Though the entrance today is marked by a small shopping center and a traffic light, at the time it was set off by little more than stop signs. When they drove past the pool, they experienced a moment that many Briar Chapel residents say is common, and they made a snap decision to try to live in the neighborhood.

Though Briar Chapel has gained a reputation for unique neighborhood amenities like its sport courts and pool, it’s also begun to distinguish itself as a place where residents like the Throwers are

choosing to relocate within the neighborhood rather than move elsewhere. Some second-time homebuyers have married or brought in extended family members and now want a bigger place. Others have seen kids move out and now want something smaller. Still others are trading up as work-from-home professional families now need two home offices.

When Briar Chapel launched in 2007, it was both controversial and innovative. Feared as Chatham’s first “mega-development,” the neighborhood debuted with plans for 2,000 homes, a huge splash in the Chatham real estate market, and was met with years of resistance in permitting. But while envisioned as a bedroom community for both Chapel Hill and the extended Triangle, the neighborhood also promised to be a subdivision built on the emerging trend of new urbanism ideas: homes on postage stamp-like lots – an eighth of an acre is common – but with numerous small green spaces meant to draw residents out of their homes and into common spaces.

Briar Chapel has more than a dozen parks, from the five-acre Great Meadow to small neighborhood areas like Constellation Park, which features rock and landscape formations laid out in astronomical shapes.

The house is a block away from the Chapel Hill Country Club (CHCC), which sits at the center of the neighborhood.

Though the Chaires are relatively new to The Oaks, the neighborhood has long been known for its estate-style homes that border the country club’s golf course, along with a mix of more traditional homes along quiet side streets, all lined by mature trees. But while offering a feeling of isolation, the neighborhood straddles two Chapel Hill arteries, US Highway 15-501 and NC Highway 54, allowing almost immediate access to most of the east side of town, Durham and I-40. Four grocery stores, two elementary schools and the Rainbow Soccer Fields are within half a mile. UNC’s campus is less than a five-minute drive.

But while close to many things, the heart of The Oaks, on both a map and in spirit, is the Chapel Hill Country Club. Though the neighborhood and the club have no formal ties, club officials say about 80% of residents are members and the histories of the club and the Oaks are intertwined. The original CHCC was founded in 1922, just off UNC’s campus on Country Club Road. Members helped clear woods on the adjacent steep hills for a six-hole golf course. The club relocated to Lancaster Drive in 1976 to what was then mostly undeveloped land, giving them enough room for an 18-hole course. Drive through the neighborhood today and you’ll notice street names like Pinehurst, Burning Tree and Torrey Pines reflecting the Oaks’ golfing heritage.

When Randy Voller laid out the plans for Chatham Forest in the late 1990s, he chose the street names carefully. The 200-plus homes would represent the first modern, pre-planned subdivision close to town, and Randy wanted the streets of the neighborhood to reflect a family feel – specifically, his family. Neighbors say that Pittsboro’s first subdivision has aged into a diverse, vibrant neighborhood, with residents spanning every part of life in Chatham. School teachers and police officers share the sidewalks with UNC professors and Raleigh professionals along with county commissioners and local business owners.

“I always say it’s a purple neighborhood,” says Randy, who still lives in Chatham Forest. “It’s maintained that broad, diverse feeling of Chatham.”

Michele Berger, a professor at UNC, grew up in New York while her partner, Tim Keim, was raised in San Diego. They moved into Chatham in 2003. “Neither of us thought we would be so charmed by a then-2,500 person town,” Michele says. “To some degree, the word has gotten out. The community definitely feels diverse for a subdivision, with lots of different kinds of people, by race or sexual

preference or ethnic identity. Pittsboro tends to attract people with interests in certain areas, like artists and people [focused on] social justice issues.”

One factor that has kept a broad swath of neighbors is the different types of home styles, which can still be had for the mid-$200,000s on the neighborhood’s southern end, up to more than $500,000 for some larger homes in the upper reaches of the development. Every home in the neighborhood – there are 206 today, Randy says – was a custom plan. As a result, the neighborhood avoids the cookie-cutter feel of other tract-housing subdivisions that were popping up as Chatham Forest’s last phase went in, in 2006.

“People move through, and there’s always a great mix of retirees, couples like us and younger couples with kids,” Michele says.

After many years in Philadelphia, the Malinchocks weren’t sure about moving to Chapel Hill yet, but as they took some informal tours, they immediately loved the feel of Lake Hogan Farms, a 300acre neighborhood built on rolling former pasture land just off Homestead Road near Carolina North Forest.

“I love that it’s quiet, and the neighbors are so caring,” says Laura. “It’s a wonderful community of people.

the property’s history. The Hogan family settled in Chapel Hill in the late 1700s, and four brothers started a dairy farm on the property in the 1930s which was operational until 1995. The Hogan family remains active farmers less than a mile from the neighborhood that bears their name at Magnolia View Farm. (Though the Hogans hold a place in Chapel Hill lore, the most famous resident of Magnolia View is UNC’s official ram mascot, Rameses.)

The lake in the Malinchocks’ backyard was created in 1929 by damming Bolin Creek, which still runs through the neighborhood. Though used as a farm pond, UNC students and staff would often picnic at the lake. Today, it’s a gathering spot for residents. “We enjoy sitting on our deck, watching the egrets and blue herons,” Laura says. “We even had a beaver last year.”

A restored grain silo sits at the neighborhood clubhouse just across the parking lot from the pool, and of the 300 acres, nearly a third are dedicated to open community space. Running and biking trails crisscross the neighborhood, connecting nearly every street to the paved Lake Hogan Farms Greenway. The more intrepid can follow informal trails and cut-throughs to other neighborhoods and even Carolina North Forest’s web of trails.

Fearrington Most famous, perhaps, for the Belted Galloway cows that draw stares from passing cars on Highway 15-501, Fearrington is both one of Chatham’s most established neighborhoods and one of its fastest growing, with active building still underway

in several corners. Once a 640-acre dairy farm, Fearrington passed from family control to developer R.B. Fitch in 1974. In the spirit of English farm villages, which R.B. and his wife, Jenny, enjoyed visiting, he remade the farm’s homestead into Fearrington Village, with restaurants, event spaces and boutique shopping.

buildings were preserved to become landmarks, like The Barn and The Fearrington House Restaurant. The earliest residential phases – which residents today affectionately call the “historic district” – include about 250 homes north of the main village. Built in the 1970s and ’80s, the earliest homes now sit in a mature forest, the lots connected by a web of creeks, trails and tree houses.

Further sections followed in the 1990s as townhomes and condos sprung up around the village and its adjacent parks, all designed and built by Fitch’s development companies.

Walking and bike paths snake between streets, and few homes are more than a 10-minute walk from the central village. The latest offerings, east of the village and more secluded from 15501, are the neighborhoods of Millcreek Circle, Burke Place and Richmond Close.

For decades, Fearrington was the only major development between Chapel Hill and Pittsboro, with residents seeing themselves as part of Chapel Hill.

No longer, says Rachel Goolsby, who moved into the goolsby family takes advantage of fearrington’s green spaces on a walk with their pup, otis.

“People are a lot more familiar with Chatham now,” says Rachel, a researcher at UNC. Rachel had lived in Chapel Hill since her undergraduate years at UNC, and Brad, a drummer, was active in the local music scene.

Governors Club On a recent Wednesday night, Trey and RamonaLisa Robertson and their daughter Emily, 10, arrived at the front door of the Governors Club main clubhouse for what’s become a weekly routine: Governors Club kids night. The community, which for years sold itself as a golf-centered neighborhood, now holds ‘kids night’ on Wednesdays at the central clubhouse with babysitting services provided while parents eat at the main restaurant. “It’s become our weekly family tradition,� says RamonaLisa.

They weren’t the only family taking advantage. As the Robertsons walked up to the club’s double doors, a car pulled under the covered dropoff. Jennifer Sherwood, who owns Governors Family Chiropractic, quickly hopped out with her daughter before her husband, Kevin, pulled away to find a parking space. The two families represent an emerging trend in who is choosing to live in the gated community just outside Chapel Hill: extended, multi-generation families who, as young children are born, choose to be closer together by moving in.

As homes, many custom-built, began to pop up, the neighborhood soon gained a reputation as a destination-community not just for golf fans but also among UNC faculty and RTP workers. Today, the community is about 80% built out, with 250 homesites still available.

From the neighborhood’s main gated entrance off Farrington Point Road, the development’s central street, Governors Drive, winds through precipitous hills as stately executive-style homes wink in and out of the rugged terrain.

At the center of the neighborhood is Edwards Mountain, where the “Grand Estates” of the Highland Pond section sit. Homes here, with views for miles, can sell for millions of dollars, but elsewhere within the neighborhood’s 1,600 acres, properties can start as low as the mid-six figures.

Property owners can opt out of membership to the golf club, which also provides access to the gym, pool and tennis courts, but 70% are members.

“When we first moved here, I don’t think there was as big a focus for a younger community. I think it was a place where people who retired came to live,” says RamonaLisa. “But we’re definitely attracting younger members with families, which is wonderful.” CHM 122 2019 Visitors & Relocation GuidE

DENTISTS

our top dentists

f

or the ninth straight year, Chapel Hill Magazine commissioned a peer-to-peer survey of the local dental community – from endodontists to prosthodontists.

The following rankings are the result.

Dentists were asked the telling question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to, other than yourself?”

The Chapel Hill area is well-served by the dental community: Hundreds of dentists, specialists and support professionals have made this town their home, and the overall quality of dental care in our communities is second to none.

What good dentist wouldn’t want to practice here?

A Little Background The Top Dentists list for Chapel Hill is the result of a rigorous evaluation process consisting of peerto-peer surveys of area dentists and professionals. This survey was conducted and managed by the nationally recognized third-party firm topDentists LLC of Augusta, Ga. The list is excerpted from the 2018 topDentistsTM list, a database that includes listings for dentists and specialists in the Chapel Hill area. The Chapel Hill list is based on detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at usatopdentists.com. topDentists management has more than 40 years experience compiling peer-review referral guides in the dental, medical and legal fields. Working from this experience, along with the input of several prominent dentists from throughout the United States, topDentists created a selection process that has earned the respect of the country’s leading dental professionals. For more information call 706-364-0853; write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email info@usatopdentists.com or visit usatopdentists.com.

RETIREMENT GUIDE

Flo and Larry Phillips were about to move into another retirement community when an article about Galloway Ridge caught Flo's eye.

"It was meant to be," she says.

here are many reasons why you might consider our area as you search for retirement options: our well-rounded quality of life, mild climate, renowned dining, robust arts scene, continuing education programs and toprated health care are just a few. This year, the Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill area was recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 20 places to retire. And we have a large number of retirement communities that strike the perfect balance between offering first-rate care and promoting independence.

We asked a few folks to share the reasons they chose to spend their golden years here and – since we know navigating the many pricing and contract options can be overwhelming – we also put together a guide to the area’s best retirement centers and 55+ communities.

efore we moved here from Badin Lake two years ago, my husband, Larry, and I had been thinking about a retirement place for about five years. In the process, we started visiting different ones. Altogether, we visited about six.

We put money down on one, but I still didn’t find everything I felt like we needed there. We were looking for a lot of activities as well as opportunities to experience outside [interests]. My husband and I are getting to the point where we don’t like to drive at night, but we do like to go to plays and ball games and those kinds of things. Galloway Ridge offers that. We have season tickets to DPAC. There’s a bus that takes us there. We like to go to the Durham Bulls games. We don’t have to drive, and that’s real appealing to us.

I began to think about really moving into [the other] place. I was searching online, and all of a sudden this Wall Street Journal article came up. It said, ‘Before you finish your search, you need to look at Galloway Ridge. It’s in Pittsboro near Fearrington Village.’ I knew about Fearrington from when we lived in Cary, and I really liked the bookstore there. We took a day trip to Fearrington and found Galloway. And voilà! It was meant to be.

Galloway Ridge is a wonderful place to live. We’ve just thoroughly enjoyed it. It has wonderful amenities, but the most important thing – it’s made up of wonderful people. The staff, of course, but also the residents. We love hearing their stories, and I’m sure they’d tell you we tell a lot of our stories, too. We love walking over to Fearrington Village, going to the bookstore, eating at The Belted Goat or going into Chapel Hill. We’re both big 158 2019 Visitors & Relocation GuidE

staying at home Aging in place is not a new concept, of course, but the number of resources available to older adults and their families who choose to live independently has grown in recent years, with both government agencies and businesses like Grapevine Realty Services in Pittsboro. Melanie Girard recently opened Grapevine to help seniors either find homes or renovate their own to age in place. Melanie also works for the Chatham County Council on Aging, which recently worked with the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health to develop a list of five priorities that affect seniors most as they age in place: 1 Transportation, particularly for non-drivers.

2 Proximity and access to health care.

3 Housing. Consider lawn care, housekeeping, stairs.

4 Social connectedness. Are friends nearby, or a place seniors gather?

5 Care services and caregiving for changes in health.

Another business owner, Elizabeth Hirsh, started The Downsizers in Durham, specifically for seniors considering a smaller home or, in some cases, staying in a family home but on just one floor.

“We might be working with a 5,000-square-foot home, but they’re transitioning to live in just 1,200 on one level,” Elizabeth says. Whether moving or staying put, she says the hardest decision is parting with decades of possessions.

During long sessions, she asks clients to consider for every item in the house: 1 Have you used it in the last year?

2 Does it have significant sentimental value?

3 Is it safe? Heavy or sharp items might pose a danger and old appliances many seniors have may lack modern safety features.

The process, Elizabeth says, is almost always liberating. “I had a client who was having to make tough decisions with her husband’s health and care. She told me that after we cleared things out, ‘I have more energy, more clarity, and I have a path on where to go now.’” – Matt White

efore coming here, I was a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. Twin Lakes brought me and my wife, Mariana, to the Triangle in the fall of 2014. We really are East Coasters. We were just out there for 12 years while I worked.

We decided that we wanted to move to a continuing care retirement community, and we visited probably 25 CCRCs in California and North Carolina and Virginia, where we lived before we moved to California. Mariana is a native North Carolinian, and we’ve had a house on the Outer Banks, so we spend a lot of time in North Carolina anyway.

We had a complicated decision tree that we designed to evaluate all of the different CCRCs that we were going to.

In order for anything to be on our list, it had to have independent living, skilled nursing, physical therapy, memory care and assisted living – Twin Lakes has all of those. The second criteria was that it had to be a Medicare-evaluated 4-star or 5-star facility; Twin Lakes was a 5-star facility.

Those were necessary. And then it was subjective things like what the campus looked like, what the houses were like, what kind of activities were available, but the real deciding factor here for us was that every time we talked to someone on the staff here about Twin Lakes and its philosophy, they found some way to say to us, ‘We will take care of you. We’re here to take care of you.’

Galloway Ridge offers the best in healthcare, a diverse array of activities and a community of residents who enjoy vibrant, independent living.

y husband, Dennis, and I are originally from Florida, but we moved to Cary a few years ago.

From there, my husband took a position at Duke Regional, so we relocated to [Durham]. We became empty-nesters recently, and it felt like we were ready for a change. We were looking for an active Usha and Umesh came to Forest at Duke for the rehabilitation services, but stayed for the friendly and peaceful atmosphere. lifestyle community that offered more than just a place to live. I think, especially coming from Florida, we had a preconceived notion of what a 55+ We built a community at Twin Lakes really fast. You can sit community might be like. So when we started looking around down next to anyone at Twin Lakes and start a conversation and this area [and] stumbled upon Creekside [at Bethpage], [we] enjoy it and learn something. We’ve just really enjoyed the people immediately felt that it was such a great spot. There’s a great sense here, and that’s been a real pleasant surprise for us. And we’re of community that Creekside has to offer, people who are in similar just a couple of hours from the mountains, a couple of hours places in life. from the beach, and there’s just everything that we want here. We We started playing pickleball; they have regulation courts here. It’s were just remarking this morning – our doctors are eight minutes actually more of a social game [than tennis]. It can be played single, away, there’s an emergency room eight minutes away if we need but most people play doubles. It’s such a popular sport, especially it.

There’s plenty started a nonprofit called Creekside Pay-It-Forward, a medical of good food here if we want it, but I like to cook, equipment loan library, and [Creekside’s building company] AV and we both like to eat, and you don’t have to pay Homes underwrote the first year of insurance. We have all of these for meals that you don’t get like at most other places where you pre-pay for meals. Twin Lakes is a fee-for-service plan, so great opportunities to start something. Last November, I partnered with one other resident, and we invited a lot of local businesses to you only pay for what you use here, and we liked that idea. If we host a shopping bazaar in our clubhouse. It gave our residents an want the house cleaned, we pay extra for the house cleaner. But opportunity to do holiday shopping, but at the same time, support all of the maintenance work, if anything goes wrong in the house, local, where it really matters. there are people here to fix it, and they don’t charge extra for that.

It’s been surprising to us that this is not anything like a I have the most wonderful quilting group twice a month, we meet to talk about quilting and show off what we’re doing. There’s retirement community. It’s so much more than we could have ever imagined it to be. We just really are so happy, and Durham has a lecture program – people come over from Elon mostly. There’s so much to offer. Here, there’s just a great sense of, ‘You live in a choir here. There are art groups, photography groups; there are Creekside? Oh, they’re really nice over there!’” so many things that you could never say there’s nothing to do.

y reason [for moving to Forest at Duke] was a medical reason. I had to have a knee surgery, and I found out about this place.

My husband, Umesh, wouldn’t have to drive to a nursing home somewhere else (we’ve lived in Durham 16 years). So we decided to come and live [here]. There’s a rehab downstairs. My husband had heart surgery and came to the Forest for recovery, which made my visits easier.

When we came here, everybody we met was very friendly, very laid-back. I’m on two different committees: food and marketing. I have good relationships with the staff. You can get involved as much as you want to. If you don’t want to, you have your own space.

I have the best of two worlds: the built-in community to enjoy and my own place to be just with myself when I want to.”

I am most of all impressed by the other residents who live here. Who knew that in my ‘encore’ years, I would have so many interesting and fun friends. The staff here is wonderful. There is so much to do here that one cannot take it all in: concerts, lectures, wine dinners, special dinners, movies, garden tours, etc. Having lived in Chapel Hill for many years, I know the area, love the area and take advantage of it all.”
