See all of the homes in the Winmore neighborhood that are for sale now!

Today we are going to take a tour of Winmore, a Carrboro neighborhood with a Chapel Hill address with my client Sharon.
Sharon, her husband and son have lived in France for the past 12 years .When they decided to move back to the US they chose Chapel Hill out of anywhere in the country because of the Chapel Hill schools (Chapel Hill/Carrboro City Schools) and wonderful college town quality of life.

Winmore is a all certified third party green built sustainable living neighborhood. When completed there will be 86 town homes, 96 single family homes and 20 live/work units with commercial space on the first floor and residential living on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The neighborhood features walking trails, a community garden, pool, playground an even it’s own apple orchard.

The lots in Winmore are narrow in the front and quite deep. If you want a new home in Chapel Hill or Carrboro a small lot is all you will find because about 15 years ago the towns adopted the planning concept of clustering (small lots with much of the land dedicated as green space) as a way to protect the environment.

Winmore has several custom builders and David Weekly Homes, a national home builder, is building townhomes.
Prices range from the $160′s for the David Weekly townhomes to over $900,000 for a large custom home.

The neighborhood is being developed by Capkov Ventures a local developer and builder (Kovens Construction Company) with an excellent reputation for quality and style. The neighborhood is in the early stages of development but the amenities and roads are all in. I really like that because in this real estate market I want to feel comfortable that my clients aren’t in for an unpleasant surprise in the future.

After we tour Winmore we’ll stop by the Carolina Cafe and find out what Sharon thought about Winmore while we enjoy lunch because real estate is hungry work!
