About the WEXFORD Neighborhood in
Chapel Hill / Carrboro NC
Wexford is a beautiful neighborhood with lots of
hard wood, old growth trees and spacious lots, and wide boulevard-like streets
with paved sidewalks. (The houses in Wexford happily were not built one on
top of the other as they are in so many of the new developments in the Chapel
Hill area. Instead Wexford homes have spacious gardens/yards and lots of space
between homes.) Beautiful setting conveniently located off
Homestead approx. 5 min. from MLK/Airport Rd. (7 minutes from downtown Chapel
Hill) ; and 5 min. to Carrboro via Greensboro St.
The Wexford neighborhood was thoughtfully
designed with spacious yards/gardens and WIDE, wide streets & SIDEWALKS!
Perfect for long walks with strollers, running, bike-riding, walking dogs.
Friendly neighbors and extraordinarily
CHILD-FRIENDLY neighborhood.
Wexford neighborhood children walk to school or ride their bikes
to McDougle Elementary and McDougle Middle School (families rave about
McDougle Chapel Hill public school).
Chapel Hill High School is only a few minutes drive away.
There are also many great private school options in relatively easy driving
distance. (Anecdotally, in recent years some neighborhood children have
attended the Duke School for Children, Trinity School, Carolina Friends, Durham
Academy, Emerson Waldorf, St. Thomas More, Cardinal Gibbons High School in
Raleigh, and others. Several of these private schools are located within
an easy 5-15 min. drive from Wexford.)
Pretty Wexford Pond with Gazebo grace the
entryway of the Wexford neighborhood, with a wooden plank walkway across the
middle of the pond (fun for visiting the resident geese and fish), and paved
pathway around the entire pond. Lots of fun for bike rides and walks
around the pond with the kids.
Playground, Swimming Pool Tennis Courts --
Great low-key community swimming pool (friends often say it feels like a quiet,
private resort!); beautiful well-maintained tennis courts;
The wide boulevard Wexford neighborhood streets are great
for bicycle riding all through the neighborhood and adjoining neighborhoods (Cate's
Farm; Arcadia). The neighborhood has abundant trees and beautiful
hardwood, old growth trees -- maple trees, oak trees, pear trees.
Wexford Neighborhood families get together at the Pool
House for Holiday gatherings The Halloween party is always a huge hit with
the kids (pool house transformed into a Haunted House, with older neighborhood
kids dressing up to delight the younger children). Quite often Halloween crafts
festivities are followed by a Halloween costume parade around the pond path.
The Pool House also is the setting for Fourth of July bicycle
parades and (in some prior years) firework displays; Easter Egg hunts for the
Wexford neighborhood children organized
among neighbors.
Wexford neighborhood is only 5 minutes from Mapleview Ice Cream and dairy
-- enjoy ice cream as you relax on rocking chairs on the front porch and watch
the sunset over the dairy farm and fields spread out before you. Lovely
and always a great treat!
Wexord is just minutes from downtown Chapel Hill
and less than 5 minutes from Carrboro, affectionately known as "Paris of the
Piedmont": Farmer's Market; Weaver Street live outdoor music and brunch outside
on
Sundays; Open Eye cafe and lots of great restaurants for parents' night out plus
family-friendly restaurants.
It's so rare to find a family neighborhood like
Wexford these days! Wexford is a jewel of a neighborhood with its beautiful
homes each unique and distinct in their classic design (not cookie cutter!),
large gardens/yards, lots of space, wide boulevard-style streets with paved
sidewalks, and many beautiful old-growth hard wood trees as well as gorgeous
flowering trees in the Spring time. Just minutes from Chapel Hill and Carrboro;
7-8 minutes to I-40 (and then your'e on your way to Durham and Raleigh - within
an easy drive); 15 minutes to historic Hillsborough; 15-20 minutes to
Fearrington/Chatham County ... fantastic location.
