This established community is located close to downtown Hillsborough and 18 miles from downtown Durham. We have a stable resident base with some having lived here for close to 40 years! Occoneechee Golf Club is a semi-private golf course within 7 miles of the community, and there are farm-fresh vegetables and homemade ice cream just 2 miles away at Eno River Farms. The Eno River State Park is a short 6-mile drive, and offers nearly 30 miles of trails along a swift, shallow stream that is popular with local photographers and sightseers. Duke University and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill are both within a 20-minute drive.

Hillsborough's downtown historic district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, features more than 100 homes, churches, school, and other structures from the late 18th and 19th centuries. Among those buildings open to the public are the Visitors Center, which served as General Joseph E. Johnston's headquarters when he surrendered the largest of the Confederate armies to General William T. Sherman, leading to the Civil War's conclusion.

Today, Hillsborough is a tourist destination, a haven for artists and writers and a wonderful place to reside. The town is centrally located in North Carolina with fast access to the Triad and other Triangle cities. Interstate 85 runs through the town, and Interstate 40 is just south of its limits.

Barbecue lovers descend on the town each September for the annual Hog Day BBQ Festival, and the city's downtown comes alive Friday evenings with arts and entertainment during Last Fridays Artwork celebrations. In addition to Revolutionary War reenactments and guided tours of the historic district, Hillsborough is home to Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area and several other trails. New parks and public spaces are making our historic town even richer. Come see what is happening in Hillsborough!
