Moving to Mebane area (Chapel Hill, Carrboro: chapel, houses, job transfer)

[NutmegMum]

Our family is considering a move for a job in Mebane. Can anyone suggest family friendly subdivisions within a 1/2 hour commute. We have two children, in 8th and 1st grades so we are looking for excellent schools. We would like at least 3 BR, 2 1/2 BA, 2000 sq ft. on about .25 acre. We would prefer a newer home, preferably in a community offering pool/tennis. Budget under $300K. Thanks for any info.!

Hi

I would think that living in hillsborough would be a good bet. Mebane is half way between hillsborough and burlington. I think you may have better luck finding houses in the hillsborough area though. The schools are good, the housing is reasonable. Hillsborough as a great downtown area and beautiful (but expensive) homes in the historic district.

I would be happy to look up some homes for you, just send me a private email or a PM.

Hillsborough is in Orange County; the taxes this year are $1.46 per $100.00. In Mebane itself, in Alamance County, they are $1.06/100.

I myself would go in the other direction, it appears the dollar goes further out west.

Thank you so much for the info! I'll be in touch if this job transfer moves forward.

If you want excellent schools, look in Chapel Hill/Carrboro.
