Angier

Angier’s proximity to Raleigh is a definite bonus for those who work in and/or enjoy the recreational and cultural benefits of the capital city but living here also provides residents with a highly desirable small-town feel. With a population of just over 5,000, affordable home prices, low crime rate, and good local schools, this “Town of Crepe Myrtles” is in one of the Piedmont’s fastest-growing regions. Angier’s popular Christmas on the Square, holiday parade, and springtime Crepe Myrtle Celebration are fun annual events, while the town’s 33-acre Jack Marley Park and surrounding Lanier Falls & Campbell Creek, Raven Rock State Park, Anderson Creek Park, and Cape Fear River Trail Park all provide outstanding recreational opportunities.
 

Buies Creek

Campbell University’s main Buies Creek campus has designated the town a true college community, where most residents fall within the 18-24 year age category and most businesses and housing options cater to this college-age crowd. School and community life closely intersect here, where the town’s proximity to the Cape Fear River makes the region a prime one for kayaking, canoeing, tubing, and whitewater rafting, and the beautiful, highly-rated Keith Hills Golf Club offers courses and tournaments attracting some of the best golfers in the Piedmont. Campbell’s Lundy-Fetterman Museum & Exhibit Hall showcases specimens of exotic animals and ocean life, while the Aquatics Center offers activities in the form of swimming and water safety programs.
 

Bunnlevel

Unincorporated Bunnlevel, with a population of around 500, sits in an ideal location just 50 miles south of Raleigh and 30 to the north of Fayetteville. The community’s founder, Joseph Bunn, established the first post office here in 1846, but since that time the area has gone from being incorporated in the 1920s back to non-incorporation as a municipality just a few years later. Over the decades Bunnlevel has remained a safe community that is ideal for farmers and retired folks, for the most part; it is still a quaint, very small town. The Neoclassical Revival-style home known as the Byrd house and several other homes including the Smith and Hobbs farms, built here in the early 1900s by successful local tobacco farmers, add some interesting historical background to the area.
 

Coats

Peaceful, family-friendly Coats, NC hosts “Coats Farmers’ Day” each fall – a fun local celebration involving a tractor show, golf tournament, military exhibits, and pig cook-off – as well as Chamber Bluegrass in the Park, both events that bring thousands of visitors to the charming town. Coats’ strong sense of community, low crime rate, miles of nearby walking and biking trails and outstanding hunting and fishing opportunities make it ideal for families, while commuters appreciate its prime location more or less halfway between Fayetteville and Raleigh.
 

Dunn

Dunn’s stirring Averasboro Battlefield and Museum are a testament to one of the most significant battles of the Civil War in North Carolina; it was shortly after this event, in 1887, that the city of Dunn was incorporated. The largest of Harnett County’s cities is also one of the most diverse, with an impressive historic district, several local – and outstanding – golf courses, and a thriving recreational program. Dunn’s annual NC Cotton Festival showcases the area’s agricultural products, while dynamic downtown Dunn shows off an impressive array of dining, retail, and entertainment venues and outdoor spaces.
 

Erwin

Eastern Harnett County’s small town of Erwin was once nicknamed the “bluest” town around, as it was known as the denim capital of the world until the Erwin Cotton Mill closed in 2000. For over 50 years denim production was one of the driving forces of the local economy, and although it has been postponed for 2020, the town celebrates this unique heritage during its annual Denim Days in early October. Residents here enjoy two thriving recreational parks; kayaking, canoeing, and fishing in the Cape Fear River; and miles of beautiful hiking and biking trails including the popular Dunn-Erwin Rail Trail along the old Erwin Mill railroad spur. The area’s peaceful natural setting, strong sense of faith and community, and business-friendly policies make this town ideal for residents of all ages.
 

Lillington

Lillington, Harnett County’s picturesque, thriving county seat, is blessed with some of the most spectacular parks and other outdoor recreational areas in the state. Raven Rock State Park offers a variety of hiking terrains, camping areas, magnificent outlooks, and the impressive Raven Rock itself while rafting, boating, and tubing along the Cape Fear River entertain residents and visitors alike in this pretty town. Annual Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, and Christmas festivities provide lots of family-friendly, yearlong activities and small, quiet neighborhoods provide a perfect environment for families with kids. Although a slower pace of life is the norm here, Lillington’s population and economy continue to steadily grow as they have over the past couple of decades; the future of this community is very bright indeed.
