Chapel Hill, and the living is easy. Especially when you're at 140 West Franklin, Greenbridge, or one of the other stellar condo communities located downtown. 140 West and Greenbridge are high rise buildings, with secured entry, concierge, clubhouse rooms and gyms, and more. Beautifully appointed, they range from one to three bedroom units, often with expansive city views. Other smaller condo communities downtown include Townside Terrace and McCorkle Place, all with the same great walkability: moments to UNC games and arts performances, as well as the incredible restaurants, shops, bars and music venues of Franklin Street.

Less than a half mile from the American Tobacco Trail and Herndon Park, Fairfield is one of the few remaining sweet spots in Southwest Durham still outside the city limits (no city taxes!!) The drive past Herndon Hills Farm (pick your own strawberries, blueberries, and grapes!) feels like rural North Carolina, but not to worry—it's less than two miles from the urban bustle of Southpoint!
