A small town experiencing growth and new opportunities
East Burlington is a residential community just outside Downtown Burlington, North Carolina, experiencing rapid economic growth. "Around eight years ago, I was told that Burlington would become one of the most popular places to move to," says Jamie Skaalerud, a Realtor and Burlington resident. "I can say that since then, that's definitely become true. We have big companies in the area that are major employers, so there's been an influx of people moving in and a revitalization in the city, especially downtown." Aside from downtown's local bars and coffee shops, residents also get a chance to enjoy a glimpse of the past: Main Street is registered on the National Register of Historic Places due to its commercial buildings dating back to the mid-19th and early 20th century. Meanwhile, Burlington sits halfway between Greensboro and Durham, making it a viable option for residents who need to commute to these larger urban centers. Skaalerud says, "A lot of people might see Burlington as somewhere you just commute out of or drive by, but most people I know like to stay close to home. We've got lots of great stuff here, and more things coming."

A variety of housing to choose from
Skaalerud says there's a mix of styles, but some of the most common are "single-family, single-level housing." Skaalerud: "I would say bungalows and ranch-style homes are what you're going to see most of in the area." Houses here sit closely together on green lawns with narrow driveways. Brick ranch-style homes are often spotted in the Alamance Hills subdivision, while properties in Norwood tend to be earth-toned bungalows. Prices start at $153,000 and go up to $290,000. "There is a lower cost of living here compared to some of the surrounding cities, so that is definitely a draw," Skaalerud adds. There are no sidewalks, but residents still play, walk or bike around the neighborhood. Many front yards feature trampolines and bikes.

Hiking at the Haw River
The nearest green space is Oakdale Town and County Park, located right at the neighborhood's east end. The park is 50 acres of forest and features various walking trails, as well as paddle access to the Haw River. "There's a bunch of parks inside Burlington, and there's also the Haw River right outside the neighborhood. Everyone goes there to hike or kayak," Skaalerud says. Fairchild Park is part of the Fairchild Community Center, a massive 28,000-square-foot facility on 10 acres of land. The center has two full-size basketball courts and hosts leagues for sports such as volleyball, badminton and more.

Shopping and dining near East Burlington
While most of East Burlington is residential, the area is known for its taco and pupusa trucks scattered around Route 70. There are also small plazas that hold local shops and restaurants. More options are located in Downtown Burlington, particularly on Main Street, which is lined with 20th-century brick storefronts. Skaalerud says, "We have a lot of hole-in-the-wall businesses popping up. There's a bunch of options in downtown, like Valerio's and Danny's Cafe. I'm a cheeseburger gal, though, so my favorite restaurant is this mom-and-pop shop called Chris's, a bit further south of Burlington." Grocery stores include Food Lion and the Walmart Supercenter.
