Baity Hill

Carolina's Premier Apartment Community for Graduates and Student Families
Located right off the UNC-Chapel Hill campus, Baity Hill is known as a fantastic place to live for those who want to avoid the undergraduate scene but still be close enough to campus. The apartments in Baity Hill are new, well maintained, and are said to have great value for the cost of rent. It's a very short trip to the center of campus via a free shuttle and is extremely/safe quiet.

Reviewers say it's great for families and mature individuals but its not close to many amenities. You'll have to venture outside of the complex to find restaurants and nightlife. However, as for quality of living in the Chapel Hill area, it's hard to beat Baity Hill.

Baity Hill — 8.8/10 Rating (based on 51 neighborhood reviews)
Green and friendly landscape. Sometimes the noise caused by leaf sweeping machine is disturbing.

If triggered by careless residents, the fire alarm is going to be another concern.

Trash dumping is not bad but will definitely be more convenient if more trash dumping spots can be found.

Baity Hill accommodates singles, couples, and families, and the neighborhood is very diverse. There are common areas to meet within the community, and you have great access to different areas of campus. The area is very safe at all hours, with minimal noise. Grocery stores are just a couple of miles away - you can get there by driving, convenient public transit, or the UNC shuttle service.

People here are most students and their family - as some live with their family when entering the grad school. There are kids playing around the area so it's very nice.

Very quiet. You walk to school in no time. Getting to Franklin street means taking the (free) P2P or Uber/drive if you are going anywhere else.

It's very quiet: mostly graduate students and some families. Very convenient for getting to McColl. It is tucked away in the corner of campus so if you want to walk anywhere, it takes about a mile to get into campus. I would recommend having a car for this neighborhood since there are no grocery stores within walking distance.

Neighborhood feels super safe. Little kids will like the playground on-site. Lots of friends for them to play with. Elementary school (Glenwood) is awesome, if not old. Plenty of community events to meet people and for kids to play. I like it here, and recommend it to most people.

The neighborhood is very convenient for business grad students, however, it is far from everything else. You need to get a car for everything, except going to school. It still compensates, given that uber is cheap in the region and the convenience to go to school is amazing.

The neighborhood consists entirely of UNC graduate students (business school, med school, law school, etc.). The Baity Hill apartments include Baity Hill Drive and Mason Farm Road. Baity Hill is slightly more family friendly (with playgrounds and a club house), whereas Mason Farm Road areas are better suited for singles or individuals looking for roommates.

Baity Hill is tucked away on aside Street that comes up next to campus. The only neighborhood is the actual apartment complex which is full of International students or students with families. The normal homes nearby seem calm and safe to walk by. It's a great area being so close to campus.
