+1 on Aberdeen, Southern Pines, Pinehurst. Even though they are only on the other side of the training area, its as if Fort Bragg doenst exist out there. The main roads are not inundated with Pawn Shops, Sewing Shops and Golden Knight Thank You posters!
Depending on where you wind up, the drive can range from 20 to 40 minutes. Traffic usually isnt bad, and it gives you time to unwind and get rid of the office drama before you get home.
I lived in Aberdeen and could take Manchester or Plank/Chicken and it was 29-31 minutes either way, anytime of day.
School system is good and the Sheriff is pro military and will hack off on Transfers unlike Cumberland County!
