Homes with highway and shopping access on the south side of Fayetteville

Home to 29,000 residents, Douglas Byrd is a sprawling neighborhood on the south side of Fayetteville. Subdivisions are broken up by a railroad track and several highways. Still, the tree-covered and quiet residential streets give the neighborhood a peaceful, suburban vibe. “Douglas Byrd has plenty of shopping, and I don’t think the crime is really high,” says Barbara Evans, a broker at eXp Realty who sells in the neighborhood. The neighborhood’s overall CAP Index crime score is 5 out of 10, slightly higher than the national figure of 4. Douglas Byrd is about 11 miles from Fort Bragg, a prominent United States Army installation on the western outskirts of Fayetteville where 55,000 military personnel and about 12,000 civilians work.

Indoor and outdoor facilities allow for all-weather recreation

Residents can venture outside the neighborhood for park access. Arnette Park has a disc golf course, baseball diamonds and tennis courts. The area’s mild climate allows for year-round outdoor recreation. However, indoor recreation options, like rock climbing at Triangle Rock Club and axe throwing at Axes and Armor Hatchet House Fayetteville, can be useful when the weather gets hot and humid. “We don’t seem to get tornadoes,” Evans says. “But we get our fair share of rain and such. The weatherman will say snow is coming, but we don’t really get much.”
