Current Resident: I love living in Spring Lake, NC. I am close to so many places to eat out. Plus there are so many niche places to grab a coffee, smoothie or something to eat. Walmart and Walgreens are also very close. I have lived in both a house and an apartment in Spring Lake and have found both enjoyable. Spring Lake has a lot to offer for a small town. It is minutes from Fort Bragg so it makes an ideal location to live in if you are in the military or employed as a contractor on post. I highly recommend living in Spring Lake. You won't regret it!... Read 45 reviews

Current Resident: My experience living in Hope Mills has been somewhat uneventful, which is good. I do not believe I could handle a town packed with action. There are many peaceful settings for people who want to relax. My favorite locations are the library and the lake by the local Dam. Accidents are so minimal, that you could travel to Hope Mills library without any worry of cars crashing. My only complaint is that the Middle School (Specifically Hope Mills Middle School) needs to get its act together. Instigating is a norm there, which immensely diminishes one's self-esteem for a better future.... Read 94 reviews

Parent: After retaining an educational consultant and searching the entire DMV for the right independent school, we chose Stone Ridge. We were impressed with the school's sprawling campus and Aquatic Center, but fell in love with the all-girl environment and the school's ubiquitous message of empowerment. Our lower and middle school daughters have already formed wonderful friendships and a love of learning! My middle schooler is constantly challenged in her rigorous curriculum, but as she puts it, "I never knew school was supposed to be fun." In summary: Best. Decision. Ever.... Read 133 reviews

Current Resident: I love all the nature and outdoor activity you can do with family. There are amazing parks that you can go too and learn about native plants, animals and so much more. There are plenty of hiking trails and with the mountains just an hour or so away that is also an option! If you like museums there are plenty near Fort Bragg! You learn about the history of our military and the planes that were used. My husband and I try to stay very active and there is ALWAYS something to do! On date nights we have a large amount of restaurants to chose from. Our favorite so far is Bubba's! There are also bubble tea spots. I have never had it before and it is honestly amazing....

Niche User: This area is a very serene and calm area. It is very military family oriented and everyone around here supports the definition of southern hospitality. The schools focus greatly on their students and being so close to the army and air force base many students decide to go that route. It is an absolutely wonderful area. With everywhere else I have lived I am happy to have come back to Fayetteville North Carolina for my schooling, for I see this area developing and expanding their values and new families coming in and falling in love with the area....

Current Resident: I have lived in Linden, NC since 2002 and my husband and I love this place. It is nothing but country! We raised our 3 children in Linden, they attended Long Hill Elementary, Pine Forest Middle and High Schools in North Fayetteville. We are about 15 minutes from Fayetteville, Lillington, Erwin/Dunn, Wade, just about any of the surrounding towns can be driven to in about 15 minutes. Linden has just upgraded the new park and put in a splash pad and the kids love it, as do the parents! There are a couple of local stations that you can go to if you need something fast, there is a post office, where you get a personal touch. Everyone knows everyone in this little quaint town....

Parent: We are a new family coming into the school & will most likely have more to say in the future, but our experience w/the admissions & leadership team deserves a review now. We are thrilled & feel like this is a very good fit for us- values, education & community-wise. From the very first moment I heard leadership and staff announce their pronouns, to throughout the many open houses, I feel like we were seen & belong. Both Shamika & Ashaki were phenomenal throughout the admissions process. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, kindness & professionalism were top notch. They both spent time really getting to know us, and contributed to a feeling that no matter what happened, we had a fairest opportunity in the process. Further, to have received an invite right away for my daughter to join a cooking class for new middle schoolers this week blew my mind- we are months away from start & they would be forgiven for taking a break before jumping into welcoming activities! Thank U SSFS!... Read 76 reviews
