Old-school charm and new growth

Located just six miles south of downtown Fayetteville, Hope Mills’ South View neighborhood is a charming mix of small-town character, outdoor recreation, and urban access. With its winding creeks and large swathes of trees, residents can still get where they need to go quickly—but return home to a serene slice of country living. “Historically, Hope Mills has always been a very old-school kind of suburb, with a lot of old timey charm,” says Trena Daignault, real estate broker with Keller Williams Realty and longtime resident of the area. “But it’s recently seen a huge population growth—so there’s a good deal of change and excitement in addition to that old-time feel.” Thanks to its blended lifestyle and access, those looking for a little bit of both worlds may find what they’re looking for in South View.

South View homes are a mix of established and new

Housing in South View reflects the character of the neighborhood well—along with the growth it’s experiencing. “You have a mix of lovely traditional styles in South View,” says Daignault. “But also a lot of new, more modern styles that are coming up along with the new population.” Traditional designs in the neighborhood primarily include ranch styles, split levels, and the occasional Cape Cod. New construction usually demonstrates modern contemporary style, with newer townhouses also featuring this aesthetic. Thanks to its more country surroundings, homes in South View are usually on sizeable lots with yards, driveways, and garages. Prices typically range from $175,000 to $550,000—with a single-family, 3-bedroom home usually starting at around $210,000.

Just minutes from Fayetteville

South View’s location is one of its key benefits, with its proximity allowing residents to quickly get to more urban areas—such as nearby Fayetteville—or get even farther out into the country. “That area in particular is great for those working in Fayetteville,” says Daignault. “It’s practically in their back yards, even if it feels farther out.” Interstate 95 is conveniently located right next to the neighborhood, while Highway 301 and Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway are also within a few minutes. Fayetteville Regional Airport calls the neighborhood home, making for easy access—though, occasionally, some extra noise as well.
