If you’re headed to North Carolina with orders to Fort Bragg, congrats! This region doesn’t host a large tourist industry. Instead, it fosters a slower-paced culture, making it a very military-friendly community. And you can't beat the location. With the Blue Ridge and the Smoky Mountains to the west and the Atlantic to the east, this duty station is ideal for simplifying life with outdoor adventures!
When it comes to finding the right place to live near Fort Bragg, there are a handful of neighborhoods to consider. There isn’t a big city nearby to seek out (or avoid), but Fayetteville offers a beautiful backdrop for those looking for a more cultured place to live.
If you’re looking for an off base house but a short commute to post, then Spring Lake is a good place to start your house hunt. But if you want to put some distance between work and home and you aren’t afraid of a longer commute, then you might consider Pinehurst.

1) Fayetteville Smart Home Filled with Upgrades
4735 Ritson Lane — Fayetteville, NC
MilitaryByOwner Listing MBO1451476
For Sale: $277,900
This smart home with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms is located in Fayetteville, just 11 miles from Fort Bragg. Why do we say “smart home"? This property features technology designed to make your life easier — Wifi Skybell HD Doorbell, KWIK Set Touchpad Deadbolt Lock, MyQ Wifi Garage Door Openers, Outdoor Auto-On Smart Bulbs, and Professional High-Speed Ethernet Installation.
The exterior boasts of North Carolina charm and the interior do not disappoint! Step inside, and you’ll be greeted with 9-foot ceilings, a grand staircase, the living room and kitchen straight ahead, and the formal dining room to your right.
The dining room is especially beautiful with its coffered ceiling, wainscoting, and flooring.
The kitchen, while open to the living room, is still a space of its own. It features granite countertops, a gorgeous ceramic tile backsplash, a large enclosed pantry, upgraded lighting, a breakfast island, stainless appliances, and rich mahogany cabinets. Plus, it has a desk area and direct access to the dining room.
The family room is the perfect space to unwind. It gets plenty of natural light, and the electric fireplace makes it feel incredibly cozy.
Upstairs, you’ll find the master suite. Grand is an understatement. The trey ceiling alone captures your attention. But this space features not one but two walk-in closets (no, that’s not a typo), and a master bathroom complete with a garden tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower sporting an upgraded shower head.
The three additional bedrooms are also located on the second floor and feature 10-foot cathedral ceilings. Two of those bedrooms have walk-in closets.
The back yard is ready for summer fun. The covered patio is the perfect space for staying cool in the summer. The best part? It’s easy to keep any bugs away with the built-in ceiling fan.
Another feature to love? The three-car garage. Keep both cars tucked away inside and still have room to store your Christmas decor and other items that might not need to sit out year-round.
Bonus: the entire home is professionally painted with a wipeable satin finish, making it easy to keep clean.
