Quiet living between Chapel Hill and Durham
Right along Interstate 40, Cross County in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is a quiet community between two of the state's major cities. This wooded neighborhood surrounding a small lake is a serene spot for residents who want to keep close to urban activity.
Homes on wooded lots attract a wide range of price points
Homes in Cross County range from the $300,000s up to nearly $3 million, including single and multi-family homes and townhouses. "Things are heating up," says Armand Lencheck, a Realtor with Howards Perry & Walston Realtor. "We're making our way back to the super-hot market of 2022." Many of these properties are nestled between the trees or seated right along the road, so commuting is a breeze.
Quick commuting to major employers and universities in The Triangle
The neighborhood is also attractive for its proximity to North Carolina's most prestigious universities, so it's a popular choice for students and staff. Cross County is 5 miles northeast of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and 6 miles southwest of Duke University. This closeness means you can enjoy the amenities of the campuses within driving distance, such as museums, restaurants, athletic fields, and health offices such as Duke Medical Center. The area is right across the boulevard from a few private practices and pharmacies, and it’s even home to Kiefer Analytical medical supply store, so it's also a draw for medical professionals. To top it all off, you can reach Research Triangle Park just 15 minutes east down Interstate 40 and take advantage of its bustling employment center.
Durham schools serve younger students
Students in Cross County attend Montessori Community School in the southwest corner of the community. Just south in the Durham Public Schools district, younger students attend Creekside Elementary to participate in its many before and after-school programs. Little ones can spend the day at Primrose School of Chapel Hill East across the way.
Recreation at nearby Five Oaks Recreational Association and Clark Lake
Just east across the interstate, residents can visit Five Oaks Recreational Association to relax by the pool, play on the basketball and tennis courts, or join the community for a movie night. Centrally located in Cross County is Clark Lake, a serene reservoir where community members can walk their dogs or go fishing for carp. For younger residents looking to get active with their peers, Cross County is also home to Bouncing Bulldogs, a non-profit organization whose gym hosts the Bouncing Bulldogs JumpRope Team.
Dining and essentials along Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard
Drive northwest up Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard, and you can find various stores to pick up your essentials, like Walmart, Home Depot and Big Lots. On this same road, you can stop for dinner at popular chain restaurants like Cook Out, McDonald's or Wendy's. But residents prefer to take to local establishments like Kipos Greek Taverna serving pastries at their bakery or Kanki Japanese House of Steaks & Sushi, serving authentic hibachi dishes. For more shopping options, New Hope Commons shopping mall is just 5 minutes up the road on Route 501 and hosts over 20 stores, including well-known retailers and independent businesses.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
