Mill Creek
Rural Neighborhood in Mebane, North Carolina
Orange County 27302
New Traditional homes with community amenities
Mill Creek’s homes are architecturally varied but united by a sense of picturesque tranquility. The Mill Creek Community Homeowners Association maintains the neighborhood’s landscaping and amenities, which include a community pool and tennis courts. Two-story New Traditional homes are common and sometimes incorporate Dutch Colonial and Millenium Mansion stylings, while single-story homes tend to have a classic Cape Cod flair. New builds are slowly beginning to crop up and typically feature contemporary Craftsman elements such as gable brackets and wooden columns. While homes rarely sell for less than $375,000 here, prices can climb well into the mid-$800,000 range. Mill Creek holds a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.Residents root for the Eastern Alamance Eagles
Mill Creek is zoned to Alamance-Burlington Schools. E.M. Yoder Elementary scores a B from Niche, while Woodlawn Middle earns a B-minus. Eastern Alamance High receives a B grade and is known for its strong athletics, particularly its football program. The team made 19 consecutive state playoff appearances from the years of 2005 to 2023, and residents show out in droves to support the Eagles on game nights.On the greens of Mill Creek Golf Club
About half of the neighborhood’s streets curve and branch around Mill Creek Golf Club, a 650-acre facility featuring an 18-hole golf course. “The golf club isn’t included as part of the HOA dues, but it’s still a nice feature to have,” Burkholder says. Indeed, some homes back right up to the rolling greens. Regardless of member status, residents can dine at the clubhouse restaurant, Payne’s Place Bar and Grill, for a quick, casual meal close to home.Dine in downtown Mebane
Most shopping and dining in Mebane clusters around the city’s small but quaint downtown district or along Interstate 40, both of which are a short drive from the neighborhood. There’s also a Food Lion on North First Street, roughly 2 miles outside of Mill Creek. In downtown Mebane, folks can grab a morning pick-me-up from Filament Coffee and Tea or sit down for dinner at Junction on 70, a Mebane mainstay for cheesy pasta and pizza. Near I-40, big-box stores such as Walmart and Lowe’s are reliable spots to run errands, while Tanger Outlets Mebane is a shopping destination with retailers such as Nike, Tommy Hilfiger and Coach. This outdoor shopping mall is about 5 miles south of the neighborhood, or a convenient 10-minute drive.Thirty miles to Greensboro or Durham
North Carolina Highway 119 is the neighborhood’s central thoroughfare, running south from Mill Creek to U.S. Route 70 and Interstate 40. In 2022, a portion of the highway was rerouted to better connect west Mebane, including Mill Creek, to I-40. “The 119 bypass has made the area a lot more accessible to the Interstate,” says Burkholder. That accessibility is especially important to a community like Mebane, which is directly in between the Piedmont Triad and Research Triangle areas. “Most of Alamance County is bedroom communities, because you can get to Raleigh-Durham or Greensboro,” says Kelly Osborn, a Realtor with Allen Tate Realtors. Greensboro and Durham are each 30 miles away in either direction, a drive that typically takes 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.A new community park close to home
Across the street from the neighborhood entrance lies Cate’s Farm Park, Mebane’s newest community park. Situated on the site of a former pickle farm, the park’s 54 acres encompass a rustic wooden playground and scenic wildflower meadows. “It’s very exciting because it has an all-inclusive playground for people with different mobility needs or abilities, so there are things like a wheelchair-accessible swing set,” Burkholder says. “Beyond the playground, there’s also a preserved nature area with walking trails.” Burkholder notes that the city is planning to expand its trail systems to connect its major parks, though the project is still years in the making. However, the proposed trail system would feature paved, 8-foot-wide paths, making it easier for folks with strollers, wheelchairs or other mobility aids to enjoy the outdoors together.
