Boardman balances a quiet pace with easy access to nature and nearby job centers, with the Lumber River close at hand and the US 74/76 corridor placing you within a straightforward drive of Wilmington and Fayetteville. Set in Columbus County, the community values elbow room, front-porch conversations, and affordability. Outdoor time comes naturally here: weekends often mean paddling or fishing the wild, blackwater channels of Lumber River State Park or stretching your legs along the sandy shoreline trails of Lake Waccamaw State Park, with daily essentials close by in Whiteville and Lake Waccamaw.
Families are served by Columbus County Schools, which offers a range of academic, CTE, and extracurricular programs. Lifelong learners and career switchers find convenient pathways at Southeastern Community College in Whiteville, while science lovers can plug into exhibits and outreach from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences nearby.
Recreation and logistics are streamlined: anglers rely on resources from the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, and the US 74/76 corridor maintained by the N.C. Department of Transportation keeps regional travel simple. Local services and permitting run through Columbus County Government, and day trips to places like Fair Bluff add riverside boardwalk views to your weekend plans.
