Moving to Bragg...Where to live?

Got hit with this question the other day... search here came up empty.

SFAS Select is moving to Bragg with family. Where should they live?

He wanted to avoid Fayetteville proper.

I advised to avoid Spring Lake. Go further North IVO Spout Springs, Cameron, Anderson Creek...

Also offered Raford as a nice alternative (affordable, close, and the Airport/DZ ).

Because I haven't lived on Bragg since 2004, wanted to see how much the area had changed...what guys currently in the area recommend...

I'd stay on the Raeford side...as for assistance I can hook him up with some realtor assistance if he wants. Her husband is retired SF.. Is he looking to buy or rent?

I lived in Pinehurst while I worked at SWCS, wife worked in "the village"

In my opinion, for the area...........you cant beat the community, Moore County Schools, and Dugans Pub........

Where to live

I own a house in Lake William area. It's on the South side of Raeford Road ,West of where Cliffdale Road connects to Raeford Road. I retired in 1995, but still have the house there. It's actually for sale or rent now. I liked that area when I was living there. There are several housing areas out that way towards Raeford. Check with Evans Realty. The owner is retired SF too.

My son bought a home in Kings Grant and says that he likes the area and the traffic back and forth from post is not too bad.

I highly recommend Southern Pines, Aberdeen, that area... it's not really a drive if you take Morganton (the other side) to King's Rd....

I live off of Raeford Rd right at the county lines.. and I really like the area.. lots of new houses going up and we're minutes from Raeford DZ and it takes about 15 minutes to get to post whether by Plank/Chicken or by Cliffdale/Reilly.
