Spring Lake, NC Townhome for Sale

Spring Lake is a Cumberland County neighborhood adjacent to Fort Bragg, the largest army base in the world. The area has a rich military history, with many residents employed by the base or in healthcare at the nearby Cape Fear Valley Health Foundation, located about 13 miles away. The neighborhood offers a family-oriented community with a small-town feel and convenient access to both the base and downtown Fayetteville, which is 10 miles away. However, living close to the base means residents often hear helicopters and distant explosions during training exercises. Housing options include on-base neighborhoods managed by Corvias and off-base homes, with popular styles being Craftsman, bungalow, and ranch-style homes. Properties near the base date back to the 1960s and 1980s, while those in Harnett County are from the 1990s to early 2000s. The median home price is notably lower than the national average. Spring Lake is served by the Cumberland County Schools district, which has highly rated schools. For things to do, residents can enjoy local Thai restaurants and army surplus stores along Route 24, or drive 15 miles to Cross Creek Mall for more shopping and dining options. Community events like First Friday on Main and the Fort Bragg Fair foster a sense of togetherness. Outdoor enthusiasts can visit Edward Mendoza Municipal Park, Carvers Creek State Park, and various on-base parks.
