Winning towns With great schools, a thriving arts scene and plenty of outdoor adventure, Chapel Hill and Carrboro are much more than college towns by Lisa Daniels
C
hapel Hill and its neighbor Carrboro are towns with winning characteristics—diverse, cultured, progressive—all delivered with a dose of Southern charm. The two towns merge so seamlessly you may not realize you’ve left one and entered the other. Chapel Hill and Carrboro are part of the Research Triangle, and their central location—two hours to both the beach and mountains and less than 30 minutes to RDU Airport—makes them ideal for those who love to travel and explore. Chapel Hill is home to one of the nation’s oldest public universities, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), and the school’s presence is felt throughout the region. Although the college-town vibe is strong, the area’s amenities for professionals, families and retirees make it appealing to more than those pursuing a college degree. Families are drawn to the area, not only for the world-class healthcare available at UNC Medical Center, but for the public

school system, recognized as one of the country’s best. Jay Kennihan, owner of Chapel Hill Realty Group, credits the schools as one of the biggest attractions for people moving to the area. “Chapel Hill and Carrboro embrace over 38 different nationalities in a school system that has the three best public high schools in North Carolina,” he says. “Kids going to school here get a private school education at a public school.” But the area isn’t all work and no play. Chapel Hill and Carrboro offer a wealth of possibilities for enjoying the arts, nature, sports, nightlife and family fun. Venues like Carolina Performing Arts and the theatre at Playmakers Repertory Company, both on UNC’s campus, and Carrboro’s ArtsCenter hold a variety of performances. Carrboro’s Cat’s Cradle, a legendary live music venue that has showcased top performers for more than 40 years, is a must for music lovers. Chapel Hill is also home to excellent museums. The Morehead Planetarium
and Science Center, where NASA astronauts once trained, provides a fascinating day out for the whole family. And the Ackland Art Museum, with a permanent collection of more than 18,000 works of art, contains the most important collections of Asian art and works on paper in North Carolina. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Stroll through the NC Botanical Garden, hike the Bolin Creek Trail or Carolina North Forest, or take a relaxing canoe ride on University Lake. Spectator sports are a favorite pastime. Pride for UNC’s Carolina Tarheels permeates the town. “With 28 Division 1 sports on campus, and the Dean Smith Center and Kenan Stadium right here, there’s always something to see,” Kennihan says. Chapel Hill has been forced to embrace change over the last decade, and chain stores have moved downtown amongst local shops. In contrast, Carrboro’s eclectic downtown has remained independent. Originally built as a mill town, Carrboro

is pedestrian- and bike-friendly with a strong sense of community. “There are many community events throughout the year—film festivals, live music, even an annual community dinner at a local school—that bring everyone together,” says Tom Wiltberger, owner of Terra Nova Global Properties. Housing options differ between the two towns. Chapel Hill boasts large, high-dollar properties, while many of Carrboro’s are smaller Craftsman-style homes from the early 1900s. According to Katherine Kopp with Hodge & Kittrell Sotheby’s International Realty, the housing landscape of both towns is evolving. “There have been a number of new neighborhoods, as well as condominiums, townhomes and apartments, built in recent years,” she says. And, Wiltberger adds, the market continues to grow stronger. “Despite the high property taxes in our area, there is currently little inventory,” he says, “so it’s very competitive and prices continue to rise.”

Marble
Is it better to go faux or stick with the real thing? by Vicki Payne

atural stone is a valued material in the construction and design worlds. It is always in style. Marble is an example that has stood the test of time—the most desirable of which is white calacatta. Michelangelo chose it for his beloved David sculpture. It adorns thousands of cathedrals, churches and castles all over the world. Perhaps it’s its Italian origin or its unique mix of white, grey and dramatic veining that

keeps this surface material in such high esteem. Still, not all white marble is the same. Carrara marble is not as white and crisp as calacatta, although both are mined from the Carrara area of Tuscany. I’ve admired white marble for as long as I can remember. On one of my trips to Italy I had the unbelievable opportunity of visiting a quarry. As far as I could see it was a mountain of white enchantment. For me, it reinforced why this endowment from nature is so spectacular. But natural stone does have its limitations and special features. First, it’s heavy, making it expensive to ship,
fabricate and handle. It is strong, yet fragile. Perhaps that was the challenge that Michelangelo fell in love with using this stone. Natural stone surfaces are susceptible to staining (etching) and chipping. If you have ever had coffee in Paris, it was most likely at a calacatta marble cafÊ table. The visible etching and wear on its surface only enhances its charm. This is the attitude you must embrace when you surround yourself with real marble. Furniture designers’ response to some of these limitations is to use it sparingly. For example, Jonathan Charles has incorporated real calacat-

ta marble on the front of the JC Modern Fusion cabinet while using lighter, more affordable materials like brass and wood for rest. Jumping on carrara’s incredible popularity, manufacturers across the spectrum are producing products featuring white surfaces veined with gray and black streaks—faux marble. Silestone’s combination of natural quartz and other raw materials results in a look-a-like material that is extraordinarily hard and stain free. It can be used

for countertops, flooring and wall siding, providing a faux look without the limitations of natural stone. The Ava coffee table by Sunpan is made from a marble-looking epoxy resin over sculpted concrete. Its gross weight is 231 pounds. If you’re looking for something a little lighter, the same eyecatching style is available as end tables. Not to be outdone, upholstery and textile producers have thrown their hats in the ring with faux marble prints. Bradley USA introduced the swiveling Jacqueline
chair in marbled suede. Eastern Accents’ banks fabric pouf lets you toss around a chunk of white and black marble without breaking a sweat. On a smaller scale but just as enduring, Crate & Barrel offers tabletops and barware in a wide variety of designs out of pure carrara marble.

Sitting seniors Seniors are living in their houses longer, changing the real estate landscape by Allen Norwood
A
new study by mortgage giant Freddie Mac attaches some numbers to a housing trend we’ve talked about before, one that anybody who’s paying attention can plainly see: Seniors are staying in their homes, which forces younger buyers to wait longer to buy. “Seniors born after 1931 are staying in their homes longer, and aging in place,” the study says. “We estimate that this trend accounts for about 1.6 million homes held back from the market through 2018, representing about one year’s typical supply of new construction, or more than half of the current shortfall of 2.5 million housing units. This [...] will increase the relative price of owning versus renting, making renting more attractive to younger generations.” The study paints a more complete picture of a trend Allen Tate President Pat Riley has been talking about publicly for several years.
But it’s still an incomplete picture. “There’s an elephant in the room,” Riley said when I called to ask whether he’d seen the study. He had not, but was planning to give two speeches this week about seniors staying put—and about that elephant, which we’ll get to in a moment. If you’re an older homeowner who plans to downsize in a few years, don’t ignore the pachyderm. Anyway, the study breaks senior homeowners down into three age groups: The Good Times cohort, or those born 1931-41; War Babies, born 1942-47; and Baby Boomers, born 1948-59. Freddie Mac, a government-sponsored enterprise that supports the secondary market for mortgages, says the oldest group accounts for more than 1 million homes being held off the market. The War Babies are responsible for more than 350,000 homes being held off
the market, and the boomers for another 250,000. A graph on the Freddie Mac site compares the ownership rate for the oldest group to those born in 1930 or earlier. It’s dramatic, even if you’re not a housing wonk. I’m always struck by a couple things when I read studies like this one: (A) I don’t like to be grouped with lots of other folks and treated like a mere number, and (B) I’m amazed at how accurately they reflect my own behavior. To see the study, go to freddiemac.com and click on “Research.” If you’re an older homeowner, you might find yourself nodding along. Riley, president of a Charlotte company with a footprint that stretches from South Carolina to the Triangle, expands on the trend. For instance, he says seniors are staying in their homes longer not only because they’re healthier than their parents and grandparents, but
SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION . THE NEWS & OBSERVER . SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2019
also because they face the same lack of inventory that hinders today’s younger buyers. Boomers struggle to find houses to buy, so they stay put, which means millennials have a hard time finding houses to buy. Many seniors also quit maintaining and updating their homes as they age, Riley says, which compounds the problem. This is the elephant, Riley says, “And he’s a big one.” Homes that haven’t received the attention they need don’t sell, or linger on the market for months. Either update your home while you’re living there and can enjoy the improvements, or rush to do it right before you sell. “I don’t want to be that person who has to scramble,” Riley says.

Today’s most popular roofing materials include asphalt and composite shingles, metal, slate, tiles, and wood.

one are the days of one-size-fitsall roofing. Today’s roofs come in a range of materials, colors and even installation methods. Whether you’re building a new home or replacing or upgrading an existing roof, there are plenty of options on the market. Depending on the type of roofing homeowners choose, the cost and life cycle of the material will vary. It’s also important to choose a roof that will withstand the elements and climate

conditions where you live. “The most cost-effective residential roofing material is asphalt or fiberglass shingles,” says Ned Arthur, president of H&S Roofing and Gutter Company of Charlotte, N.C. “The longest lasting is slate. The choice of material depends on the homeowner’s budget and the design of their home.” ASPHALT Asphalt shingles are economical and
generally low maintenance. This type of roofing comes in a standard strip of three-tab shingles, and a good highquality material can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance. “Architectural or designer shingles are a type of laminated asphalt shingle, and while very nice to look at, sometimes have more maintenance issues than standard asphalt roofing,” says Daniel Terry, owner of Olde Raleigh

Roofing and Exteriors. Modified asphalt shingles—which are made with a rubber-like compound— are a more durable option and will withstand weather better than regular or designer asphalt shingles because they bend easily instead of tearing, and are also highly resistant to hail. COMPOSITE Also known as synthetic shingles, composite shingles are comprised of
a mixture of asphalt, fiberglass and other recycled materials. Composite roofing comes in a range of colors, shapes and sizes, and can even be manufactured to look like most other types of roofing. While similar to asphalt roofing, composite roofing usually carries a longer warranty and are lighter in weight which makes them easier to install or replace. This is a great choice for homeowners who want a long-lasting roof without much maintenance. Composite roofing doesn’t crack, peel, or warp, and are fire- and moistureresistant, which is optimal for areas of
the country with humid conditions. METAL In addition to being extremely durable, metal roofing is also considered energy efficient because it uses a reflective solar coating, which minimizes heat produced by the sun and can help reduce air conditioning costs. Metal roofing is also the most environmentally friendly and sustainable roofing material on the market—it contains between 30 and 60 percent recycled materials and can even be installed over an existing roof, eliminating the amount of disposal during SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION .

roof replacement. Other pros include minimal maintenance, protection against extreme temperatures, high winds and hail, and an expected life cycle of 30 to 50 years. SLATE Slate is one of the most durable types of roofing. It stands up well to all types of weather and is very strong due to the fact that it is very heavy. Because of the weight, slate roofing sometimes requires architectural reinforcement or a difficult installation. Slate roofs are also customizable, with varied tile sizes and thickness coming in a range of colors, including black, gray, green, purple and red. There’s also the option of mottled tiles, which are a mixture of several colors together. While the initial investment is somewhat expensive, the payoff is worth it—a slate roof can last up to 150 years when properly maintained.

MAINTENANCE With any roof, it’s important to remember there is some level of maintenance, although some roofing material may require less than others. This should play a role in deciding which type is best for your home. “As a rule of thumb, a roof should be inspected once a year, usually after hurricane season,” says Terry. It’s recommended that homeowners check their shingles regularly, especially after a heavy storm or high winds, look for leaks in the attic or ceilings and make sure a licensed professional performs your inspection. “A professional roofing contractor will be able to spot potential problems you might have missed, as well as provide you with invaluable tips for maintaining your roof,” says Arthur. “They will also give you a rough idea of how many more years your roof will last. Regular maintenance and a yearly inspection can help increase your chances of finding potential issues before they become costly repairs, no matter what type of roof you have.”

Cedar is the most commonly used wood for roofing, like these heavy, cedar shakes with copper flashings.
Keep in mind that depending on the type of roofing material you choose, there are different guidelines and standards for proper installation and level of maintenance.
