A very loving city for the Military and the retired. I love it because they have lots of job opportunities, movies, restaurants, and great schools for your children to go to. Every year they have Christmas parades which you will be on TV for the community, and your children would love it, because at the end Santa Claus would pass out candy to everyone.

Fayetteville is essentially known as the home to Fort Bragg. Fort Bragg is the largest military base in the world and defines the entire are. If you are not in the military you will find that this area is sparse in terms of employment, economic growth, and general social stability that you would find elsewhere.

Fayetteville is one of the larger cities in North Carolina. While there is enough to label it a city, there isn’t anything special to be found. There are many rural areas, and it is overall a low income city. The highlight of living here is the proximity to the beach, which is about two hours away.

Fayetteville is a city located next to a military base, called fort Bragg. Fayetteville is surrounded by forests which makes Fayetteville the perfect location for hiking and camping. Despite being a small city, Fayetteville has malls, shopping centers and many restaurants to choose from.

The city, in which I reside, nestles itself deep in the south of North Carolina. Home of the largest Army base in the United States, Fayetteville bolsters a strong military community. The area is also rich with the surrounding Native American community, whose ancestors have occupied the area for centuries.

The city is about an hour south of Raleigh and two hours from the coast. It is quite spread out and has a diverse population. The downtown leaves something to be desired. I would not necessarily recommend living here. I wouldn’t live here myself if it wasn’t for the military base.

People moving to Fayetteville, North Carolina, should know it is a “melting pot of people”. Fayetteville is home to a military base and often sees a diverse group of people moving to the city. Fayetteville also has many things to offer, such as three colleges and universities and several elementary, middle, and high schools. With a rich history spanning several generations, it is no surprise that Downtown Fayetteville is the hub of several cultural events.

Fayetteville, North Carolina, has the largest United States Army installation, which is Fort Bragg. This city use to be a lot smaller, but over the years it has been constantly growing. Most people love to travel to the cities nearby such as Raleigh or Charlotte. It’s a great place once you get used to it.
