Cozy is the word many use to describe real estate in Carrboro, a town often referred to as the Paris of the Piedmont or the Seattle of the South or Chicarrboro.  No matter what you call this southern town, it may be one of the best-kept secrets around.

Located in the southeastern region of Orange County, west of Chapel Hill real estate and west of the University of North Carolina, Carrboro is a lively place--nothing like a sleepy, southern town.  A population of approximately 20,000 resides on about 5 square miles of quaint Carrboro streets.  Homes in Carrboro make up what some call the most densely populated town in North Carolina and people like it that way.  Residents of Carrboro homes enjoy free buses, meter-free parking, widely used bikeways and a wide array of community-based activities with something for everyone.

When it comes to small towns, Carrboro is one of the best kept secrets around.  When it comes to small neighborhoods, The Cedars in Carrboro is one of the best kept secrets around! With its own community garden, its own common park, and its location near UNC and downtown Carrboro, The Cedars is the perfect location for enjoying the unique culture of the town and the area.  With almost fifty single, detached homes, The Cedars is just the right size to feel small, but large enough to feel like a neighborhood.  Although the access is restricted, The Cedars website at www.carrborocedars.org gives visitors a sense of the style of The Cedars, especially with the great pictures posted on the site.  Its just enough information to make you want to see more!
