One of the most diverse cities in the US, Fayetteville, NC has many awards to its credit and activities for citizens. Fayetteville has won All-America City awards, and honors for the city song "My Hometown Fayetteville" and city show "Kaleidoscope." The sixth-largest city in North Carolina also has numerous historic sites, seven museums, three colleges and universities, multiple entertainment venues, a historic downtown and award-winning golf courses. We're right next door to Fort Bragg and Pope Army Airfield, so we are very military oriented.

Plus, if you're looking to travel, Fayetteville Regional Airport and Interstate 95 give you many destination options.
