When I set up searches for clients I find out what is important to them about Chapel Hill. Is it the Chapel Hill/Carrboro School District?
If that’s it I’ll set up the search by high school. Chapel Hill High, East Chapel Hill High and Carrboro High. That will give all of the elementary and middle schools in the results.
If it’s a Chapel Hill address and low taxes that are important I’ll set up the search for the North Chatham areas 305C and 305D and specify the city as Chapel Hill.
If proximity to Chapel Hill is the criteria and price is especially an issue I’ll set up the search for Chapel Hill and Durham County.
