Evergreen offers a peaceful, rural pace with the advantage of straight-shot access along US 74/76. Set in Columbus County, the community sits within easy reach of everyday stops in Whiteville, weekend outings to Lumberton, and the lakefront town of Lake Waccamaw. Commuters benefit from the state’s ongoing improvements to the I-74 corridor, enhancing east–west connections. Public services and permitting are close at hand through the county government, making country living straightforward for homeowners, builders, and small business owners.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. The boardwalks, trails, and sandy bayshores at Lake Waccamaw State Park invite sunrise walks, fishing, and birding. To the east, the longleaf pine savannas and rare carnivorous plants of the Green Swamp Preserve offer a remarkable glimpse of coastal plain ecology. Paddlers head to the blackwater bends and remote campsites at Lumber River State Park. Families also enjoy STEM programs, exhibits, and community events at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences at Whiteville.
Evergreen is served by Columbus County Schools, with dual-enrollment options, workforce training, and continuing education available at Southeastern Community College. Housing ranges from farmsteads and wooded acreage to newer homes along quiet country roads—room to spread out without losing access to parks, markets, and services. Whether you’re exploring a move to Evergreen or planning to list your property, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top real estate professional who knows the local market.
