Neighborhood

Starting just north of Downtown Chapel Hill and extending northward past Estes Drive, Estes provides that perfect blend of wooded country and urban proximity. Estes is convenient to UNC Chapel Hill, Horace Williams Airport, the restaurants and shops of Franklin Street, and University Place mall. UNC Chapel Hill is home to the Morehead Planetarium and the Ackland Art Museum, while the downtown district offers iconic music venues like Cat's Cradle, popular restaurants like the Northside District, and taverns like He's Not Here.

Residents of Estes also enjoy the beauty of the area at Carolina North Forest, a great place to go hiking. Community Park is another terrific destination, with a community rose garden, a pavilion, basketball courts, a playground, and walking trails. Visitors can hike the Battle Branch Trail or the Bolin Creek Trail, both accessible from Community Park.

School data provided by GreatSchools The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
