Battleboro, NC Home for Rent

Battleboro is a large, rural community about 10 miles from Rocky Mount, North Carolina. It spans both Nash and Edgecombe counties, and is known for its low cost of living and range of housing options. You can find everything from modest ranch-style homes to new construction on large plots of land, as well as modern farmhouses and New Traditionals in newer subdivisions, built near public water systems, as most of the community relies on septic tanks, which usually require a bit of land. Battleboro has an authentic country feel, largely thanks to longtime local spots that residents have visited for generations. Some examples include W.B. Ennis Memorial Park, which has a playground and athletic facilities, Faulkner's Store, known for its hand-dipped ice cream, and Smith’s Red & White, a family-owned grocery store. Community events, like an annual Christmas parade, also give the community a close-knit feel. What you can't find in Battleboro, you can find in Rocky Mount, which is about 15- to 30-minutes away, depending on where you live. The city offers trendy spots like Rocky Mountain Mills, outdoor areas like the Rocky Mountain Greenway and the Tar River Paddle Trail and practical amenities like grocery stores and a hospital. Rocky Mount also has train and bus stations, and the nearest airport is in Raleigh, about an hour away.
