Growth in the city’s southern section
South Burlington was once a network of rural, one-lane roads and industrial warehouses. But as the city continues to grow steadily, new builders have been eyeing this previously undeveloped section of Burlington, and fresh subdivisions are springing up. According to Kelly Osborn, a Realtor with Allen Tate Realtors, the neighborhood’s appeal is simple: “It’s minutes from Interstate 40, and a couple exits away from restaurants and shopping.” This suburb is connected to both the Piedmont Triad and the Research Triangle regions via I-40, making it especially convenient for commuters headed to Greensboro or Durham. It’s also near Burlington’s major shopping centers, which cluster along the highway. Still, South Burlington has a quieter feel thanks to its rural roots and is only a few miles north of Lake Mackintosh.
South Burlington features large lots set amongst mature trees.
South Burlington folks enjoy close access to parks, lakes, shopping, dining, and interstates.

Established homes and brand-new subdivisions
Some ranch-style homes from the 1980s and ‘90s sit right off this neighborhood’s winding main roads on spacious lots, while newly built houses in crisp subdivisions show off rustic Craftsman stylings and barnlike rooflines. These often feature a mix of wood and stone siding and an attached two- or three-car garage. New townhouses have also started to populate the market, often stylized to look like ranch-style homes. “It’s great for easy, convenient living. The townhouses I sold, the landscaping was actually included with the homeowners association membership,” Osborn says. These townhouses list between $220,000 and $400,000, while rare two- or three-bedroom condos sell within the $150,000 to $200,000 range. Single-family homes are priced on the upper end, from $250,000 to $550,000.
New construction homes are popping up all around South Burlington.

Near the shores of Lake Mackintosh
Although this neighborhood has no parks, there’s no shortage of nature to be found along South Burlington’s winding, wooded roads. A few miles southwest of the neighborhood is Lake Mackintosh, a 1,150-acre reservoir and a hotspot for waterfront recreation. Lake Mackintosh Park & Marina offers myriad ways for residents to get out on the water, whether launching out from the boat ramp or renting a kayak. More than 60 miles of scenic shoreline with piers provide plentiful places for fishermen to cast off, while the playground and gazebo are popular for family picnics. There’s more kid-friendly fun to be had at Burlington City Park, just north of the neighborhood in Downtown Burlington. Beyond the typical amenities, this community park is known for its restored 1910 carousel, miniature train and other carnival-style kiddie rides.
South Burlington offers proximity to countless areas of beautiful nature.

Major shopping centers and quaint downtown districts
With its position along I-40, South Burlington is near multiple major shopping centers. “The Mebane Tanger Outlets and Alamance Crossing are probably the most popular places for shopping in or around Burlington,” Osborn says. Tanger Outlets Mebane is about 13 miles east, or a roughly 15-minute drive on the highway, and is home to dozens of name-brand retailers like Columbia and Levi’s. Alamance Crossing is Burlington’s largest shopping destination, an outdoor mall anchored by big-box stores such as Barnes & Noble and Dillard’s, with grocery stores nearby. Though chain restaurants tend to populate the I-40 corridor, there are more local places to shop and dine close by. “You’ll find the little local boutiques in Downtown Burlington or in Graham, which you’re also close to,” Osborn says. “Sandy & Co. is the best consignment store, and there’s the Press, which is a really cute coffee shop. The Graham Cinema isn’t as big as the chain movie theaters, but they still get all the new releases maybe a couple of weeks later than Regal. And it’s got an awesome little arcade, so it’s fun to take the kids.”
South Burlington residents have many nearby shopping options like the local Target.

Along I-40, between Greensboro and Durham
With Interstate 40 bordering the neighborhood to the north, South Burlington is a gateway to the Piedmont Triad to the west and the Research Triangle region to the east. “When we moved to the area, I was working in Greensboro, and my husband was working in the Research Triangle Park, so we found that this was the halfway point between those areas,” says Katherine Burkholder, a Realtor with Re/Max Diamond Realty. Burlington is a popular bedroom community for commuters, as Greensboro is roughly 25 miles away, or about a 30-minute drive. In the opposite direction, Durham can be reached in a 35-mile trip, approximately 40 minutes by car. “You get a better tax rate in Alamance County than in Guilford or Orange County,” Osborn adds. South Burlington is also particularly close to Cone Health Alamance Regional, Burlington’s only hospital.
South Burlington sits just below I-40, offering easy access to the rest of North Carolina.
South Burlington residents have the area's major hospital nearby.
