My husband and I have lived in Governors Club for 10 years. And yes, we are retired, and we moved to the South from the Boston suburbs. We knew noone who lived here--we just liked the convient location. Our home was built by a fine local contractor. It is a modest home which suits our needs--there are many like ours in the development. The community could not have been more welcoming--we had never experienced this in New England. Our neighborhood is friendly, helpful when there is an illness or emergency. We were both golfers when we came here, but I have had to give it up for health reasons. There are many opportunities to work/volunteer in the community and outside. My husband and I both work in the VITA program, I was an active member of the Chapel Hill Service League for 7 years and am still a sustainer. Most recently, my husband was on a committee to improve the facilities at our golf club. His job on the committee was to study and research all aspects of replacing the playground equipment at the pool/tennis/playground/fitness center. The project is now all complete. Since we live near the playground, I can tell you very clearly that there are lots of happy kids at Governors Club! We have a junior golf program, a swim team, a junior tennis team, and instruction in all those activities with more activites besides those mentioned.. To conclude,we cannot think of another place we would rather live--and we have checked many other locations in the area. I would also add that I am not a real estate agent.
Pros: Friendly people of all ages, lovely landscape
Cons: None at the moment
