Rockfish
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. And indeed, Rockfish is where newcomers go to escape the busy city activity while still enjoying the perks of keeping the urban center nearby. The neighborhood market consists of single-family houses ranging in price in the $200,000s and $300,000s. The properties include traditional homes to ranch-style houses that sit close together in cul-de-sacs or larger grassy lots, depending on your location. It’s a particularly attractive area for military service members, thanks to its proximity to Fort Bragg, only 20 minutes away.
Rockfish is also part of the Hoke County Schools district, and its schools proudly serve the children of these Fort Bragg military families. Rockfish Hoke Elementary School is right along Rockfish Road in the neighborhood, so students and their parents can walk or bike to class. Sandy Grove Middle School prides itself on its eco-friendly campus and is described by the LEED U.S. Green Building Council as a “nationwide model” for sustainability in schools. Hoke County High School offers riding graduates a wealth of scholarships and unique student-led clubs, from the welding club to the RPG club.
After school and work, you won’t have to travel far to reach the nearest shopping and dining destinations. Just drive north up Gillis Hill Road to find Westside Village Shopping Center, which boasts Walmart Supercenter, ALDI, Lowe’s and Food Lion. Take a shopping break at popular chain restaurants or one of Raeford Road’s local establishments, like Fuller’s Old Fashioned BBQ for mouthwatering slow-cooked eats or Yang Garden for authentic Chinese dishes. On top of all that, Raeford Road houses auto repair shops, fitness centers, banks and supply shops, so all your needs are in one convenient hub north of the neighborhood.
While Rockfish may be out in the country, residents find plenty of sights and recreational destinations to unwind after work and school. Gillis Hill Farm is a local favorite. Located just north of Rockfish, this 9th- generation farm offers locals fun agritourism activities that celebrate the area’s farming traditions and sweet treats at their very own ice cream shop. One of the community’s most distinct spots is Rockfish Speedway, the centrally located track where locals flock to witness heart-pounding weekly races. If you want the right place to host your own social events or get to know fellow residents, Rockfish Community Building is the central community hub that includes a playground and athletic fields for basketball and baseball.
Due to its closeness to Downtown Fayetteville, Rockfish residents can enjoy a weekend getaway to the city anytime and see its many attractions and events. One of the most popular gatherings is the Dogwood Festival, a three-day event where vendors sell their culinary and artisan wares and attendees enjoy eclectic musical acts. Attend the annual When Pigs Fly Festival for some savory Southern barbecue, catch a live performance at Festival Park or see a Fayetteville Woodpeckers minor league baseball game at Segra Stadium.
Rockfish is a sprawling residence that gives residents a piece of the beautiful North Carolina countryside.

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. 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.
