College Lakes balances peaceful, lakefront living with quick connections to the rest of Fayetteville. Set along the Ramsey Street corridor, the neighborhood offers established streets, mature trees, and homes that range from classic brick ranches to updated two-stories, all within minutes of everyday essentials and an easy commute to Fort Liberty via Honeycutt and McArthur roads.
Recreation is a true asset here. The community’s own College Lakes Recreation Center hosts year-round programs and fitness options through Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks & Recreation, while nearby Mazarick Park and the Cape Fear River Trail add playgrounds, courts, fishing spots, and miles of paved path for biking or jogging. Weekend explorers appreciate the sandhills scenery and longleaf pines at Carvers Creek State Park in nearby Spring Lake, and those connected to the installation find lakeside camping, trails, and events through Fort Liberty.
Families are served by Cumberland County schools, with neighborhood elementary options and a direct route to the district’s offerings via Cumberland County Schools. Higher education sits just up the road at Methodist University, which adds lectures, athletics, and arts to the local calendar. Dining, groceries, and services line Ramsey Street, and neighboring communities like Kings Grant broaden the mix of amenities.
