Franklin Hills

Beautiful Architecture Affiliated with UNC Chapel Hill's Campus History
Chapel Hill's Franklin-Rosemary Historic District is a vibrant community with a fascinating past and a diverse range of dining choices. Families with kids will appreciate the top-notch schools in the area, while foodies will relish the many cafes and restaurants that cater to all tastes. Additionally, the district boasts the esteemed University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which adds to the neighborhood's cultural and intellectual vibrancy.

UNC-Chapel Hill’s campus is situated just south of the neighborhood, so there are plenty of community amenities, such as groceries, parks, apartment communities, and landmarks around to satisfy the needs of families and young professionals in the area. Not to mention, downtown Durham, NC, is a short drive away to escape the small town and find excitement in the urban setting.

Interested in the history of the neighborhood? Be sure to check out the haunted Horace Williams House between E Rosemary and E Franklin St for a spooky adventure.

It's being cool, 15 minutes walk to Franklin street. When driving, it is about 10-15 minutes to the Business School. There is also a nearby bus-stop.

Close to Franklin Street and the public bus. Parking can be a bit inconvenient, but always available. Relatively quiet neighborhood. Grocery stores are nearby, but not walking distance.
