Rockfish offers homes on the edge of Fayetteville's suburbs

Rockfish is a large, evergreen neighborhood less than 30 minutes from Fayetteville. This community is where suburban residences meet rural charm on vast green swathes of farmland. “It has a quainter atmosphere and country setting, and it’s very convenient to Fayetteville and Raeford,” says Amanda Smith, a Broker with Atlas Real Estate Partners. Rockfish is where newcomers go to escape the busy city activity while still enjoying the perks of keeping the urban center nearby. It’s a particularly attractive area for military service members, thanks to its proximity to Fort Bragg, only 20 minutes away.
