Where We Build
Since 1984, we’ve worked alongside local families and community partners to expand access to affordable homeownership throughout Orange County.
From individual homes in established neighborhoods to mixed-income developments, our work helps create places where families can put down roots and communities can thrive. We’ve built and repaired homes in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, Efland, Mebane, and communities throughout Orange County.
Current and Upcoming Developments
Weavers Grove
Location: 171 Weavers Grove Drive, Chapel Hill, NC
Status: Construction in progress. Currently accepting homeownership applications!
Weavers Grove offers affordable homeownership to Habitat households as well as market-rate homes. Of the more than 200 single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes, and condominiums, 102 will be Habitat homes purchased by households who live or work in Orange County. Construction is set to be completed in 2028.
Auman Village
Location: 1317 US 70-A East Hillsborough, NC
Status: Infrastructure in progress
Auman Village will deliver 75 much-needed affordable homes just east of downtown Hillsborough so more families can live in our vibrant, growing community. Sixty units at Auman Village will be dedicated to first-time homebuyers earning between 30-80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), and the remaining 15 units will be designated at workforce housing for households earning between 80%-120% of AMI.
Homestead Gardens
Location: 2200 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill, NC
Status: Infrastructure in progress
Homestead Gardens is an innovative new mixed-income community in Chapel Hill that will bring 87 affordable units to a 14-acre property owned by the Town of Chapel Hill. It will include 33 affordable townhomes and duplexes, built and managed by Orange Habitat and the Community Home Trust (CHT). CASA will build and manage affordable rental units in Homestead Gardens.
Rogers Road Development
Location: 7817 Rogers Road, Chapel Hill, NC
Status: Early planning stages
Our proposed development on Rogers Road would create 86 affordable townhomes on a 15.5-acre property within Carrboro town limits. This neighborhood, which would include a walking trail, community gathering pavilion, and overlook park, would represent the largest affordable housing development in Carrboro’s history. It builds upon our longstanding relationship with the Rogers Road community, where we’ve built and repaired more than 100 homes since our founding in 1984.
