A quiet suburb near Fort Bragg
Pine Forest is a tree-covered neighborhood within the Cumberland School District, defined by its proximity to Fort Bragg, Fayetteville and the Carvers Creek State Park. The Sandhill Access Point entrance to the park is a big draw for hikers, bikers, equestrians and even fishermen. Students here participate in prestigious academic programs, and while this military town has a few locally owned restaurants, it’s only a short drive south to downtown Fayetteville and west to Spring Lake, with even more options.
New builds and 20th century homes
Members of the Pine Forest community are often temporary, but not always. “People in the area tend to be contractors, traveling nurses and military, of course,” says Marshall Jones, property manager of local Patriot Park Apartments. “But there are plenty who come back and retire here because it’s so quiet.” Places like Patriot Park Apartments offer pleasantly furnished units and conveniently short leases for temporary residents looking to rent. For smaller families, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes with three or fewer bedrooms cost between $175,000 and $250,000. New contemporary-style constructions are priced between $350,000 and $475,000, while a few older custom brick homes with four or more bedrooms can cost over $600,000.

Open to the public during the day, locals can kayak on Smith Lake, swim at the beach, play 18 holes of disc golf or run the five-kilometer trail. Fishermen can float on Smith Lake in motorless watercraft and reel in bluegill, bass and sunfish.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data.
