Chapel Hill Realtor: Summer Camp Search

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

It’s that time again, get your summer calendar out and start planning the rest of your year.   Because if you want to take advantage of some of the great camps we have in our area, you are going to want to sign up soon.  Deadlines start in early February for some of our favorites, so this is the time that we try to put our plans together.

For those of you who plan to move here this year, don’t be discouraged if you don’t sign up in February.  There are always some openings and some cancellations, so just put yourself on the waiting list.  

Our favorite camp location is the Morehead Planetarium, right on Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill.  They have wonderful science and learning camps that run throughout the summer.  Another good science and nature camp is the one run by the Museum of Life and Science in Durham.  They host a full schedule of camps at Estes Hills Elementary right in town here.   Now if you are more interested in sports camps, there is a great one in Southern Village at the Southern Village Club.

Other great resources are the Y at Meadowmont camps and Chapel Hill rec camps.

Is your head spinning yet?  Well good luck!  And if you have any questions about Chapel Hill real estate call Reg Morgan, your Chapel Hill realtor with over 20 years of experience.

Carrboro Development Pushed Back

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

As a Carrboro realtor who specializes in buying and selling homes, I’ve watched the plans for development very carefully.  And I guess I should not be surprised that plans to break ground for the 300 Main Street development downtown have been postponed till the Fall of 2009.   Spokesperson for the developers, Laura Van Sant tells us there is alot of interest in leasing and the hotel builders - Hampton Inn, are eager to get going.  Well, so am I!  I think this developement will be great for our town and I’m looking forward to having a hotel right here so that my relocation clients are able to stay right in Carrboro while they look at all their Chapel Hill/Carrboro real estate options.

If you have questions about Carrboro real estate, now is a good time to start tht discussion.  Call me, Reg Morgan,  your expert Carrboro realtor.

Chancellor Cancels Airport Plan

Friday, January 9th, 2009

UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp held a press conference this morning to announce that the University would not be pursuing an airport in Orange County.  This was a great relief to members of the White Cross and rural Orange County community.  The doctors from AHEC have agreed to move operations to RDU once the Horace Williams airport is closed down and Carolina North construction begins in earnest.
