Fayetteville's life revolves around Fort Liberty (recently renamed from Fort Bragg), one of the largest military installations in the world. The Cape Fear River runs past, the airborne and special operations museum is excellent, and the food scene reflects the international military families that cycle through. Southern, military, and friendly. Quieter than the big NC cities.
the verdict
the monthly cost of moving past Pittsburgh
A small premium for Fayetteville. Worth it only if the rest of the city earns it back.
