It's home to many shops, restaurants, coffee, work out and work-in spaces, and there is plenty of parking underneath to make sure it's easily accessible.

There are also luxury apartments and several beautiful hotels in the area.

Meadowmont Village is the place my wife and I have visited the most during our time in Chapel Hill…read more(2020-2024), mainly because of the Harris Teeter here, but also because of the property's restaurants and other businesses. This is a nice mixed-use development on the east side of Chapel Hill, close to the Durham border. It's just a short drive down highway 54 from I-40 exit 273 and it's not far from 15-501 either. Meadowmont Village sets itself apart from competition in the area by simply being nicer with a cleaner and more elevated atmosphere. The architectural design, layout, and landscaping make it a quaint, relaxing place to walk around. The tenant mix is a good combination of chain and local. This isn't a bigger, destination-type development like Fenton in Cary. Instead, it's smaller and quieter, and that's part of the appeal. It's never felt crowded or uncomfortable all the times I've been here. It's easy to get in and out and there always seems to be just the right amount of people, even when it's busy (e.g., active patios at Brixx, Bluebird, and Kahlovera). There's a pond and trails nearby and overall, the entire neighborhood is well-kept. When we first moved to the area, my wife and I frequented the Harris Teeter up 54 at Hope Valley Commons in Durham. We then switched to the Harris Teeter at Meadowmont Village because it's more secluded and has a calmer, more peaceful environment (inside and out). While I think the Harris Teeter at Hope Valley Commons is a little bigger with a slightly wider variety of inventory, that difference hasn't been big enough for us to switch back to the Hope Valley Commons Harris Teeter as our primary Harris Teeter. Below is a list of businesses at Meadowmont Village that we've been to so far. I've left Yelp reviews for most of them.

If you got laid last night and the person who got on top of you was not particularly good in bed,…read morethen that was a Mediocremount, and you should go to Mediocremount Village instead. But if that doesn't apply to you then this fancy shopping area will work out fine. They're trying to be European and stuff, and it's cute. Reminds me of some of the fancier parts of Northern Virginia or Maryland, but it's not cheap here. It's a cute brand-new shiny shopping center with some boba tea and some desserts and some food and a lot of high-end shops. They tried to make it like a little shopping Village and while it does seem fake it and contrived, it also is a really nice place to hang out and get some stuff - and it's peaceful and safe and quiet and reminds me of Virginia in some ways.

Bottom line: Park West Village is a great shopping complex offering a wide variety of shops,…read morestores, dining opportunities, residential areas, and a movie theater. Big retailers and smaller businesses as well as many services can be found here. Plenty of parking. The Morrisville Smart Shuttle stops here if not driving. Pretty large in size but not too big to explore. The Deets: Park West Village has been around for a few years here in Morrisville and is a vast sprawling complex, located in the area between Morrisville Parkway and Cary Parkway along Chapel Hill Rd. Within its many roundabout traffic circle-accessible areas and multiple buildings, one can find many good restaurants & eateries, large retailers (Target, TJ Maxx, PetSmart, Bath & Body Works, Trader Joe's, multiple others), banking institutions, electronic/gaming shops, craft shops, phone stores, health & beauty stops, home furnishing stores, and other places to shop. It also has residential as well as retail spaces, even a movie theater. If it would be any bigger it would be a challenge to walk around but I think it just hit the sweet spot between having multiple good shopping/services that's walkable and being too big to get around. The Morrisville Smart Shuttle (town provided free transportation service) even has stops there if you don't feel like battling traffic or parking, but they do provide plenty of parking if you do drive. I like this shopping center for what it offers and accessibility, I'm here frequently because of it.

Park West Village is an ENORMOUS go-to destination for shopping, dining, and services in…read moreMorrisville, NC!!! It is a huge shopping AND residential area. Park West Village features a unique mix of national retailers, contemporary brands, and distinctive shops and dining. It literally has everything for you, whether you live there or not - all kinds of apparel, crafts, eateries, education, electronics, fitness, general merchandise, health and beauty, home furnishings, pet supplies, services, shoes, specialty, sporting goods stores, etc. I want to walk into every store! For example Piada Italian Street Food is one restaurant that caught my eye tonight - if I hadn't already eaten dinner I would have liked to try one of their unique piadas that they hand-roll in front of you, or one of their salad or pasta bowls. As a shopping area, Park West Village is a lively, great place to hang out, take a stroll, and/or socialize with family and friends or visit on your own! The plaza looks shiny new and modern and is very clean and well-maintained. As a residential area, each of its THREE different neighborhoods is also loaded with the nicest amenities. They have, for example, swimming pools and brand new playgrounds! They all look so modern shiny and new and enjoyable to live in. Park West Village really is a lifestyle! In addition, Park West Village hosts events every day - they often have live music and good food at Open Mic Nights or at Acoustic Nights on Fridays - it can get very lively there! They also have an upcoming fall festival as well as Winter Wonderland. There are so many activities and things to see, buy, eat, explore at Park West Village - I would definitely recommend enjoying quality time there!!!

For me, the standouts are the local restaurants but they have opportunities for groceries, haircuts, chain restaurants, local pharmacy/compounding among other shops and services. Decent amount of traffic here but not chaotic. The Deets: Being near Morrisville Market Shopping Center (MMSC), it is a "go-to" destination for me. Mainly, I am a fan of MMSC because they have a lot of restaurants such as locally run businesses Georgina's (a personal favorite for Italian, if you know me), Kinoko, Pho 919 as well as many chains such as Smithfield's Chicken 'N BBQ, Dunkin/Baskin, McDonalds just to name a few at the time of this writing. It also contains many other shops and service providers (a locally run pharmacy/compounding shop and an AutoZone come to mind). From Indian grocery store to haircuts and many other things to offer, it's a pretty well balanced shopping stop for Morrisville but not a large one so it's less chaotic than most shopping areas. I was not pleased when it put in a Walmart Neighborhood Market here a few years ago, replacing the huge hardware store it had in the space originally. I fully realize that most shopping centers need a good "anchor store" and a Walmart grocery would serve that purpose, but honestly I liked having a very large and well stocked hardware store near me instead. For me, I'd rather go to one of the other grocery stores near me such as Wegmans, Publix, Harris Teeter, Food Lion, etc. unless I needed to hit this Walmart grocery store for sheer convenience only. But it does get the traffic into MMSC so I guess that's doing the trick for the other businesses there. In all, besides losing out on a great hardware store they had before, I like MMSC mainly for the restaurant offerings, convenience, diverse services, and smaller size...I am a fan.

This modern shopping center is at the southwest corner of Creedmoor and Millbrook. Thanks to the…read moresharp grade and topology, there is only an entrance from Creedmoor northbound and Millbrook has a single entrance/exit with a traffic light. The shopping center has three buildings. The largest is the anchor, Harris Teeter. The next is a strip building with a hair cutting salon, quick pizza place, dry cleaner and nail spa. The third, smallest, building has a higher-end salon. A decent amount of parking though some tight corners. [Review 11696 overall, 1478 of 2019.]

I have only been to the Harris Teeter in this shopping center but I really enjoy this Harris Teeter…read morelocation and think it's really conveniently placed by the intersection. Looks pretty new although I'm not sure how long it's been here! There always seems to be plenty of parking here too. Even during the time I'd expect it to be really busy. From the direction I come from, the stop light off of Creedmoor makes it really easy to leave the shopping center. There's nothing worse than sitting at a stop sign during rush hour waiting for the clear to make a left turn... As I said, I've only been to the Harris Teeter in this shopping center but I know there are a few restaurants including a MOD Pizza, a dry cleaner, and a salon here too. Pretty standard shopping center but I like the Harris Teeter so no complaints from me!

After 15+ years, Glenwood Square is due for another Yelp review. (Not really.)…read more This shopping center is located on the southeast corner where highways 54 (Raleigh Rd) and 15-501 (Fordham Blvd) meet. This is just east of UNC Chapel Hill's campus, near the Chapel Hill-Durham border. Glenwood Square is across the street from another shopping center, Glen-Lennox: https://www.yelp.com/biz/glen-lennox-shopping-center-chapel-hill I think this shopping center is best known for the Chapel Hill location of The Fresh Market ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-fresh-market-chapel-hill ). There's also a Thai restaurant here, Thai Palace: https://www.yelp.com/biz/thai-palace-chapel-hill-2 My wife and I have visited this shopping center mostly for The Fresh Market. We also recommend Thai Palace. The food and service are great. The UNC Health Care office located here is for UNC Hospitals Pre-Procedure Services (e.g., anesthesiology). Also located here are a mattress store, nail salon, pharmacy, H&R Block (tax preparation), dry cleaner, and veterinarian clinic. Unlike Glen-Lennox across the street, you can't access Glenwood Square from both directions on 54 due to a median. You can only enter directly from 54 if you're traveling east. If you're traveling west, you'll have to make a left turn at the stoplight (Hamilton Rd) and turn in behind the Exxon gas station. So yeah, not the most ideal ingress/egress.
