Real estate in Hillsborough North Carolina ranges from historic homes in the Hillsborough Historic District to new developments in the countryside. Historic Hillsborough is sometimes referred to as a museum without walls. The boundaries for Hillsborough were laid out in 1754, where the Great Indian Trading Path crossed the Eno River. You can visit the reconstructed Occaneechi village in the original riverside site within a block of the Orange County courthouse. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Hillsborough Historic District boasts more than 100 late 18th century and early 19th Century structures still standing. The residents appreciate the quaintness and friendliness of their small town, but also enjoy its fast, convenient access to other Triangle cities via Interstate 85 and Interstate 40. Hillsboro is only a 15 minute commute to Duke University and Duke Medical center to the east and about 15 to 20 minute commute to UNC and Chapel Hill to the south. Vicky Olive of Piedmont Preferred Realty, Inc. is an independent real estate broker serving individuals who value expert representation in their search for a distinctive home and North Carolina lifestyle. Vicky will be pleased to introduce you to the Hillsborough and Orange County NC communities. Click on any photo to see homes for sale in Hillsborough, Orange County, NC

Finding the No Extra Cost Energy-Efficient Home for Hillsborough communtiesEverybody loves energy-efficient homes. Ask home builders or home buyers if they want energy efficiency and most will say yes. Tell them how much it will cost, and many start to hedge. Despite clear evidence (and common sense) that energy efficiency is a great long-term investment, additional construction cost often dampens the initial enthusiasm. Promoters of energy efficiency routinely find themselves justifying the extra cost as "worth it." An effort--called Building America--is now underway to remove any need for justification. The goal of this applied research program is to find ways to cut energy use by 50 percent compared to current practice without increasing overall construction cost. That's right, zero increase in overall cost. One key partner in Building America is Building Science Corporation (BSC) and its principals, Joe Lstiburek and Betsy Pettit. With their advice and encouragement, three production builders have demonstrated various methods of reaching the goal. Known as the Building Science Consortium, this group has already built 35 homes.  Homes sold in July/Dec 2003 in English HIll Community in Orange County, Hillsborough, NC
