Not really, You drive out Butner gate and you are there. It continues to expand north along Hwy 24/87 but from the time you leave the Hwy 24 over pass driving along 87/ Bragg Blvd till you cross Rockfish creek to the south, it all is Fayetteville.
Housing prices and rent are artificially high. This goes out for about 20 miles in all directions. Depending on where you will work. and how much of a drive you want look at Moore Co. area. (Vass, Cameron, Southern pines, Aberdeen). The Hwy 401/ Raeford area has a better selection, but the traffic sucks. Good luck NOI |

Live in Southern Moore County (Southern Pines, Aberdeen, Pinehurst or County).
Commute through roads in the training area for the win.  |

Spring Lake is as trashy as the rest of the immediate area. Parkton is too, from my understanding.
Moore County is where you want to be. Plenty of good neighborhoods, and schools are miles better if you have kids, especially in Southern Pines and Pinehurst. Just sold my house in Pinehurst to my sister. |

Another Vote for the Southern Pines, Aberdeen area. you just take Plank rd through the Chicken Gate. Reaford isn't bad either, Just depends on your lifestyle. I plan on Buying a home in the Aberdeen area in the near future.
The Aberdeen, Southern Pines and Pinehurst area also gets you away from the big army Drama and nasty of fayettville/spring lake. |

I've driven through Spring Lake a bunch and shopped there, it seems fine to me.
Then again I don't understand why people think Fayetteville is so bad, the traffic is annoying certain times of the day but it's really just a bunch of restaurants and pawn shops. |

Southern Pines and Pinehurst are definitely nice but you might want to look at Sanford as well. Rent would be cheaper than S. Pines and Pinehurst. |

Sanford isn't bad, but definitely not as nice as Moore. We have a building and property there. I'm from S FL, so I'm not used to small town country. But I always felt like Pinehurst / SP was domesticated

Broadway. 25 minutes from base, 15 minutes from Woody's, 25 minutes from Cary/Apex/Raleigh area, 35 minutes from H2O farms. You can't loose.

I live in Broadway. Been here my whole life (38) years. The western part of Harnett county is where you need to look. Cost of living will be much lower than Southern Pines or Pinehurst.

Thats what I like to hear. Ideally I will either buy a small plot (maybe just one acre) and put a small manufactured home on it. Or Ill just rent a house. Dunno which route I want to take yet. But I am thankful for all the responses everybody. The company Im trying to join is flying me out for an interview early next month so, heres hoping. |

Lol The only reason Im even considering buying instead of renting is so I can become an FFL. Well, that and so I can bring all my dogs with me. I have no illusions that I will make a profit as a FFL (not that Ill admit that to the ATF), I just think itd be pretty cool to own my own little business and this would be a fun way to get my feet wet without investing lots of money. Id only act as a middle man between online vendors and the local consumers. |

Berk Thomas, to 42, to Corinth Rd, to Christian Chapel Ch Rd, to US 1 N. Yes, to Apex. My wife works in North Raleigh off Six Forks, takes her 55 minute to get there, so yah, a good bit longer to Raleigh, but still not bad.

Sounds reasonable. my wife works in Wake Forest 2 days a week and it is 1 hour and 10 min. door to door from my house off Spring Lane.. |
