Because UNC is one of the three anchoring institutions of Research Triangle Park, Chapel Hill is one of the three "points" of the Triangle area along with Raleigh and Durham. Though smaller in population than these two major cities, Chapel Hill boasts plenty of big-city amenities. Residents can cheer for the Tar Heels at UNC sporting events, tour attractions like the North Carolina Botanical Garden, and shop at destinations like Franklin Street and the University Place mall. Let us introduce you to the area.
