What is the feeling in the Governor's Club community...do people want to get to know their neighbors? Also, I found Wake Forest near Hasentree to have a lot to offer my children as far as their interests (horseback riding; jazz, hip hop, tap, and drama) are concerned. Does anyone know the availability and quality of such offerings and facilities in the Chapel Hill area?
How do the Chapel Hill public schools compare with a privage school such as Ravenscroft?
We made an offer on a home in Chapel Hill before we ended up in Hasentree. Our primary motivation was the schools, which are nationally acclaimed. Then we found the tax rate -- higher than California!! I must have done the calculation 12 times before I finally figured out I had done it correctly the first time. The house we found also turned out to have a fairly substantial drainage problem in the back, and the combination killed the deal.
Governor's Club is in Chapel Hill, but not in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro school district. The area is beautiful and unique. I looked at several homes and had a very frank conversation with a resident who stated that half the residents went to public and half to private. The schools are fine I'm sure, but you aren't going to get Chapel Hill/Carrboro or Ravenscroft experiences. It threw me enough that we moved on to the next options.
Chapel Hill has the best school district in NC bar none. Seeing that you have 3 young kids, the property taxes that you would pay in Chapel Hill would be a bargain compared to paying fees for a private school for them.

Thank you.
If I had to choose between Hasentree and Governor's Club- I would go for Hasentree. This is based on the overall look and feel of the community. You can pick up choice lots in Hasentree as it is just starting out, whereas in GC there are very few lots left that are desirable/buildable.
That is a good point about Hasentree and the situation with building lots. Do you know what the quality of the K-12 schools is in the Hasentree/Wake Forest area?

I believe that they are Wake County schools (it's near the Granville county line (schools aren't that great) but I don't know if any parts of Hasentree would go there).....the schools are very good in this area.

Sorry, can't help you there. I don't live in the area. Just looking to move there. Tho I have visited these communities during my visits to the Triangle. My kids are all grown up so never looked at the schools in the area.

Hasentree is designated to North Forest Pines elementary, wakefield middle and wakefield high school. My daughter attends and we really like it. It is a new school, year round. If you do not want the year round option, then the school is wake forest elementary. Wake forest elementary is currently a magnet school but will lose its magnet status in 2 years.
Hasentree isn't close to the Granville County line. The whole subdivision is in Wake County.
