Onslow County is very affordable and family friendly. There are several beautiful beaches in the area such as Emerald Isle and Topsail Beaches. It is home to great local restaurants, bars boutiques, shopping centers, and parks. There are lots of opportunities for hiking, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. There is something for everyone in this county! You can easily commute to Craven and Carteret Counties.
There's not much to do around here, and there are some pretty bad areas around. However, most businesses are good and up to date on the health factor of their food. The schools don't have too much funding, but they still try their best individually to be the best school for their students.
Like to see more things to do around town. Like to see old abandoned buildings gone, more side walls, street lights, after school care and transportation, traffic control.
