La Grange, NC Homes for Rent

The small town of La Grange continues to bloom in rural eastern North Carolina. This community earned the nickname “The Garden Spot” in the early 20th century because some of its gardens were visible to passing trains. Today, La Grange is home to fewer than 3,000 but has cultivated a quaint downtown area and is close to the amenities in cities like neighboring Goldsboro and Kinston. The town has a mix of vintage architecture and new subdivisions. A handful of original Victorian-style homes, often with steep roof gables, front porches and decorative trimming, are in the town center. Other styles include shotgun, cottage, Craftsman bungalow and manufactured homes, which may range in condition. The up-and-coming Blair Ridge community on the town's south side has one- and two-story new construction homes on large lots. The median home price is around $300,000, slightly higher than surrounding areas. La Grange Elementary School, which gets a C-plus from Niche, and E.B. Frink Middle School, which gets a B, are both in La Grange. Lenoir High School, which earns a B-minus, is a few miles away. High schoolers can embark on several career and technical education pathways involving
