Pine Forest
Suburban Neighborhood in Fayetteville, North Carolina
Cumberland County 28311
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.

Fish, hike and bike at Carvers Creek State Park
Pine Forest is home to Carvers Creek State Park, where locals can enter via the Sandhill Access Point and hike, bike, ride horses and even fish. Though camping isn’t allowed in Carvers Creek, Department of Defense ID cardholders and their guests can stay in cabins and RVs at the Smith Lake Recreation Area. 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. A few miles outside Pine Forest are the King’s Grant Golf & Country Club, open to the public and club members, and the ZipQuest Waterfall & Treetop Adventure, a zipline attraction for all ages that travels past Carvers Falls.

I-295 leads to downtown Fayetteville
Pine Forest is a short drive from downtown Fayetteville on Interstate 295. Here, locals can visit the Cape Fear Botanical Garden, the Airborne & Special Operations Museum and the Cape Fear Regional Theatre. The Fayetteville Regional Airport is also a 16-mile drive away down the All American Freeway.Scenic views at the Carolina Barn events venue
One of the most unique places in Pine Forest is The Carolina Barn, a wedding and party venue booked over a year in advance because of its beautiful scenery and remote location. The Carolina Barn hosts many weddings, proms and the annual military ball for Fort Bragg.Noise from nearby military bases
But with Fort Bragg nearby, both Pope Army Airfield and Simmons Army Airfield are within ten miles of most homes and may be loud neighbors for some residents. Artillery and training exercises may be heard as well.

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. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
