Rose Hill, NC Home for Rent

Rose Hill, settled in the late 1840s, remains an agricultural hub with a strong focus on poultry farming, celebrated annually at the North Carolina Poultry Jubilee. This event features a parade, carnival, live music, and cooking with the world’s largest frying pan. The neighborhood is characterized by single-family homes, including ranch styles, Colonial Revivals, and new traditionals, often with large lawns and oak-lined streets. There are no homeowners’ associations, and properties range from gridded neighborhoods to large farmsteads on the town's outskirts. Dining and shopping are centered on Sycamore Street, with options like Rose Hill Restaurant and El Buen Sabor, and nearby boutique stores on Church Street. For more extensive shopping, Wallace, located seven miles south, offers a Piggly Wiggly, Food Lion, Walmart, and Bealls. Year-round attractions include Duplin Winery, the South’s oldest and largest muscadine winery, and Jimmy Jerome Park with its baseball diamonds and playground. Rose Hill is safer than the national average, though it faces some flooding and hurricane risks due to its inland location. The community is served by Duplin County Schools, with Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary and Wallace-Rose Hill High School. Interstate 40 provides easy access to Albert J. Ellis Airport, 28 miles east, and Wilmington International Airport, 47 miles south.
