Medical Professionals

Match Day is almost here! Each March, hundreds of fourth-year medical students hoping to complete their education in a top program are matched with Duke University or UNC residency and fellowship training programs. Both hospitals offer many top-ranked programs as rated by Doximity Residency Navigator and U.S News & World Report.

So if your match brings you to the beautiful Triangle region of North Carolina, you’re in luck! Durham and Chapel Hill are both great places to live, attracting people from around the country with an alluring mix of sunny weather, charming Southern culture, awesome sports teams and excellent schools. But where are you going to live?

That’s where we come in. At Local Market Realty, Michele Burris and Sue Fox specialize in working with medical professionals. We have many years of experience helping Duke and UNC residents find the right home quickly, within their budget and close to campus, before their residency begins. We can help you with financing too, as we have a list of reputable lenders who provide zero-percent down “doctor loans” to medical residents.

Many residents choose to buy a home here rather than rent, because the numbers tend to favor ownership. We have helped our past clients calculate the difference between renting a $1500/month apartment and buying a home with a similar mortgage payment, and buying a home generally results in a savings of tens of thousands of dollars over just a few years. If you prefer to rent, we can help you with that too.

Choosing a residency program is one of the biggest decisions new physicians face in their careers. You’ve done the hard part… now give us a call and let us make your housing search easy.

Cue the calm, touch the sky, and step into a modern marvel where curated luxury meets the suite life. This singular, one-level penthouse in Castalia is a modernist aerie defined by soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, a soft barrel-vaulted great room, and walls of glass that bathe the interiors in natural light while dissolving the boundary between indoor living and the treetop panorama beyond. Here, nature takes center stage, with ever-changing views of sky and canopy—wind stirring the leaves, clouds drifting overhead, and shifting light throughout the day—providing a constant source of tranquility and renewal. Inside, a sophisticated interplay of form, flow, proportion, and materiality unfolds into clean, airy spaces wrapped in crisp museum-white walls and subtle neutrals that frame the greens and blues of the landscape. Every inch reflects an authentic marriage of artistry, craftsmanship, and quality: a sleek tile entry hall, warm hardwoods throughout, cinematic lighting, and meticulously designed California Closets systems throughout. Recent improvements elevate daily life: Hunter Douglas automatic shades, Control4 automation, a whole-house dehumidifier, FloLogic leak prevention, and the painstaking four-month refinement of every seam by a master plasterer. The kitchen delivers luxe functionality with a designer tile backsplash, Franke fixtures--including instant hot and cold water--and a streamlined workspace. The bathrooms are reimagined sanctuaries with Italian stone, custom cabinetry, Toto specialty commodes, and, in the primary suite, a waterfall soaking tub that fills from the ceiling. A flex room with a sleek, vented Rais of Denmark fireplace, a built-in productivity nook, and a terrace worthy of the finest summer milieus complete the experience. Decompress at night and rise restored in the expansive primary suite, where sweeping views become a daily meditation on land and sky. A practical side hall with laundry, a basin sink, and custom cabinetry keeps household life effortless. Three dedicated garage parking spaces, Two Tesla charging stations, and secure internet wiring from the living space to the garage underscore the home's rarefied attention to detail and life-enhancing functionality. Let nature draw you in and high style hold you. This is a home choreographed for gracious living, where breathing room, creative energy, and the art of living well are woven into every detail. Castalia at Meadowmont is a mixed-use modern landmark, home to a sought-after enclave of one-of-a-kind top-floor condominiums. Its distinctive architectural design feels both refined and connected, perfectly positioned within walking distance of Meadowmont's lively village center—a vibrant collection of shops, restaurants, a grocery store, the UNC Wellness Center, medical offices, and everyday conveniences. Beyond, Chapel Hill's small-town charm and cosmopolitan pleasures unfold in every direction, from natural beauty and a flourishing culinary scene to rich cultural offerings.
