Cumberland blends small-community ease with access to the Cape Fear River corridor and the conveniences of nearby hubs like Fayetteville, Hope Mills, and Spring Lake. Residents enjoy quick connections to I-95 for weekend coastal getaways and day trips to Raleigh, while everyday needs are met with local markets, independent eateries, and year-round events around town. Outdoor time is a staple, with riverfront greenways and family-friendly parks spread across Cumberland County.
Schools are a strong draw. Cumberland County Schools offers a wide network of neighborhood schools, STEM and arts academies, and early college options, plus robust extracurriculars and athletics. Higher education anchors the area as well, with respected programs at Fayetteville State University and Methodist University supporting lifelong learning and a steady pipeline of cultural events.
Weekends fill easily: stroll the themed gardens and seasonal exhibits at the Cape Fear Botanical Garden, explore military history at the acclaimed Airborne & Special Operations Museum, or bike the Cape Fear River Trail and catch concerts at the Crown Complex. Military households appreciate proximity to Fort Liberty and the strong sense of community that spans both long-time locals and new arrivals.
