By Jennifer Brooks


There are a lot great places to live in North Carolina. It has its share of large, urban areas like Charlotte, and many small communities located throughout the state. People who relocate there for business or as a result of retirement often choose to live in one of the little towns located a short distance from more metropolitan cities. Realtors are always happy to show new residents the Hillsborough NC houses for sale for instance.

Located just west and north of Chapel Hill and Duke University and a little over an hour from Raleigh, this charming community is a thriving town with proud residents who boast about the many advantages of living in Orange County. The town has nature trails perfect for biking, walking, and hiking. The restaurants are excellent and family friendly. There is a local farmer's market and an organic grocery store for the health conscious.

Newcomers interested in a working farm may have a chance to make an offer on a twenty-five acre spread that is fenced and includes a large barn complete with a heating and air system. The family home on the property is spacious and has plenty of baths and bedrooms for a large family. The floor plan is open, and the kitchen is outfitted for serious chefs. The price tag is slightly over eight hundred thousand dollars.
