What types of homes and prices points you'll find here
Patterson Place is popular with renters and buyers. Most of the apartments in the neighborhood are north of Old Chapel Hill Road, while the areas to the south tend to feature single-family homes on lots that average around half an acre. Many properties date to the late 1980s, with mature trees and wooded lots throughout. Single-family homes lean traditional, with common styles like Colonial Revivals, bungalows, Craftsmans and ranch-style houses. With the variety in home styles comes varied pricing. “Prices range all over the place in this area, depending on whether or not the home has been renovated, how big the lot is and whether or not there’s a yard,” says Tricia Sloan, a Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, who has nearly a decade of experience. Single-family homes often cost between the upper $300,000s and the upper $800,000s, with some outliers. Townhomes are common throughout the neighborhood as well, typically ranging from the lower $200,000s to the lower $500,000s.
Some Patterson Place residents live in townhouses.
