Custom farmhouses and room to stretch out
Cedar Grove comprises single-family homes ranging from petite fixer-upper cottages to sweeping country farmhouses with extensive acreage to boot. There’s also just about everything in between, from regal Colonial Revivals to Craftsmans with large front porches; with no cookie-cutter developments, Cedar Grove homes come in various styles. “There’s plenty of elbow room and places where people can build custom homes,” Henry adds. Some sit by themselves on lots tucked off the main roads, whereas others belong to modest subdivisions where homes line the streets in rows, though the wooded lots and spacious lawns still lend a sense of privacy. Homebuyers can purchase one of these two-story, three-bedroom homes for $465,000, the median price for the area. Those looking to spend a little to get a little more can have a house and barn on a 60-acre property for $1.4 million.
At the confluence of the East and West Eno River
The east and west forks of the Eno River flow through Cedar Grove, meeting at the southern edge of the neighborhood at the Confluence Natural Area. Once a working farm, today its old mill can still be visited by parkgoers walking along the 2 miles of forested trails by the river. It even has a pollinator garden and is home to a handful of rare plants, meaning there’s plenty of nature to explore.Career readiness at Orange High School
Kids in Cedar Grove can attend Orange County Schools, starting at Pathways Elementary, which earns a B-minus from Niche. Orange Middle scores a B, and Orange High receives a B-plus, with electives to prepare students for a variety of careers, from nursing to firefighting to mechatronics.

Shop for groceries and more in Hillsborough and Mebane
Although there’s enough scattered around Cedar Grove to get by, most folks head into town in nearby Hillsborough and Mebane for shopping and dining. Hillsborough, about 15 minutes south of central Cedar Grove, has a Food Lion and a Walmart Supercenter for daily essentials. While there, it’s worth stopping in at Eno River Brewing, which has a spacious lawn where patrons can kick back, play games or grab a bite from a food truck, all while sipping on a craft brew. Mebane is about the same distance southwest of Cedar Grove and has a Lowe’s Foods for grabbing groceries and a Tanger Outlet Mall for outdoor shopping at name-brand stores like Nike, Tommy Hilfiger and Columbia.

Travel into town or throughout the Triangle
Though the densely forested nature of Cedar Grove might make it feel secluded, it’s still easy to get around. There’s a bus stop at the Cedar Grove Community Center, where seasonal events like a Christmas parade and a Halloween trunk or treat are held. Residents can take Orange County Public Transit buses from the Community Center through Hillsborough to Chapel Hill on weekdays. Otherwise, it’s about a 15-minute or 10-mile drive to Hillsborough or Mebane or just under half an hour or 25 miles to either Chapel Hill or Durham. Residents have emergency care covered at the University of North Carolina Hospitals Hillsborough Campus. They can make longer trips from Raleigh-Durham International Airport, which is around 40 minutes or 37 miles from central Cedar Grove via Interstate 40.
Quick-stop convenience stores in Cedar Grove
Cedar Grove is sparsely populated by businesses, though a handful of convenience stores provide for residents. The Farm and Garden Center is a catch-all for everyday needs and then some; locals can pick up bait and tackle, garden supplies and a frozen meal all in one stop without needing to head into town. Other gas station stops like Handy Andy provide hardware for quick fixes, while John’s Grill serves burgers and pizza for fuel on the go.
