Thank you for joining us for the new-and-improved Annual Membership Meeting! "New and improved" in that we moved it outside to the park and lucked out with a beautiful day. We are glad so many of you chose to spend the mid afternoon with us, finding out what's planned for the neighborhood and meeting the neighbors.

These folks were elected to the board:

President: Michael Marshall
Vice President: Carol Burke
Treasurer: Julie Welch
Secretary: Jim Rose
Members at Large: Jeff Jacobson (We have two vacant spots for At Large members. Are you interested? Let us know!

An annual meeting flyer and events calendar were mailed to every home in the neighborhood. If you didn't receive one you can download them through the links above.

The 2026 Spring Egg Hunt!

Thanks for joining us to celebrate Oktoberfest!

Our third annual Oktoberfest was a big success! The CHNA grilled bratwurst, hot dogs and soft pretzels and poured beer and beverages. The event was free for CHNA member families, and only $10 for adult guests. Kids are always welcome free of charge.

Oktoberfest is held at our neighborhood park, E.C. Leonard Playground, at the corner of Audubon and Clayton Roads. 

The annual meeting of the Coker Hills Neighborhood Association was held January 26 at 1:00 pm at the Chapel Hill Public Library. Minutes of the meeting can be found here.

National Register of Historic Places 

The effort to add Coker Hills to the National Register of Historic Places, joining four other neighborhoods in Chapel Hill, has now received preliminary federal approval. The next step in this federal designation process is photographing the exterior of homes in the neighborhood.

Phillip Lyons, of Preservation Chapel Hill, the organization that is shepherding the process, said at a neighborhood information session on February 18, 2024 that the designation could be in place within eighteen months. This federal designation showcases the unique architectural nature of Coker Hills and allows a 15% tax credit on many home renovations. It should be noted that this distinction is quite different from similarly named locally designated "historic districts" in that it places no limits whatsoever on homeowners' ability to modify their property. Background information and online contacts can be found here. You can read the recent neighborhood mailing from Preservation Chapel Hill here. 

The board of the Coker Hills Neighborhood Association supports this recognition of our special neighborhood.

Coker Hills Neighborhood Association membership approves changes to the Board of the organization.
