Posting this for my parents--They are moving back to NC. They previously lived in Lochmere but this time they have a business in Chapel Hill near UNC so ideally they would live within 20 mins of that location. They LOVE a neighborhood called deVintage in Cary, which is near Kildaire and Ten Ten Rds. It was built for older/retired homeowners who want low maintenance living (HOA handles all yard work, houses are brick one-story or 1.5stories, etc). It is a small neighborhood and there is nothing currently for sale.
Any idea where else they could find something like this? The one place they are seriously considering is Briar Chapel.
Chapel Hill is always going to be challenging to buy into. Do they want the community aspect of a 55+ development? Cause it seems to me that if they bought a 200k house in Durham/other nearby areas, the extra 100k would buy a really long yard maintenance contract! (Like a lot of the people who work in CH, live elsewhere).
I LOVE Briar Chapel! They actually have activities director who plans things for all different age groups including seniors. And they have commissioned art work throughout their extensive trails system. The landscape had a lot of rock when they started building and they used the rock throughout the community. It feels very mountainy. It's just a really cool place. You should at least go take a look if you haven't been there already.

I also love Briar Chapel! Even though it has a CH address, it is in Chatham County.
Love love love what they did with those rocks!
And, although I haven't checked out the Chatham County Schools, a client of mine says they are very good.
Yeah, they'd like to avoid higher taxes. That's one reason they're looking at Briar Chapel. They actually would prefer mixed age community over a 55+ only. We did go to visit BC and loved the look of it and the shared green spaces. They want a smaller yard, which BC has plenty of, but wow are they close together! It's just kind of hard to accept when you're paying for a detached versus a townhouse. But they're hoping to find one there that has a little more breathing room but not over budget. :0

I also like the look of DeVintage. Were you aware of the assesments on the houses there? They are assesed at between $442,000 and $595,000.
Were you parents looking at that high a price range? If so, they might look at what Toll Brothers builds. One example is the new Regency at White Oak Creek in Apex.
