being on Post isn't bad if you have kids NOT in High School
Raeford is cheap and the homes aren't bad..but...the schools are not well funded. We moved on post to get away from Raeford schools in 2001
Fayetteville isn't bad on the Kelly Springfield side of town in the North Ramsey Street area...the area on the East side of I-95 near Cypress Lake Golf Course is nice too. Southern Pines, Whispering Pines and Pinehurst are great and have the best schools in the "Public System" in the area IMHO. The drive from Pinehurst to the main post gas station for a reference purpose is approx 35 miles or 50 minutes drive time. I live there now and don't mind the drive, but like TR stated, I can't go home after PT or to have lunch anymore. It's a trade off, but a good one...my boys are in High School at a good school and my car insurance is cheaper than in Hoke or Cumberland County.
