Questions
1. If I'm looking for a quiet coffee shop where I could sit down and work in peace, where would I go?
There are several great options; Griffin’s Coffee Shop in Haymount is a good one. Village Coffee House is another. It has a lot of space, a couple “living” areas with couches and coffee tables. It’s quiet and roomy and you can even reserve a section if necessary. Of course, there’s also Barnes and Noble.

There’s a Curves, as well as For Women Only, located in Tallywood Shopping Center.

16. I was wondering about various fitness clubs in the Fayetteville area?Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks again for inquiring about fitness centers in the Fayetteville area. Our Q&A Team have come up with several answers for you.Here are some suggestions:
1. My wife belongs to The Spa Fitness & Wellness Center. The Eutaw plaza location has a separate weight room for ladies, good water aerobics program. She likes it. Gotta buy a membership, but you can spread out the cost over a couple years.
http://www.thespafitnesscenter.com/index.html
2. I know some other folks who go to the Omni Health & Fitness. It's on Walter Reed Dr, at south end of All-American Freeway.
3. If you're military dependent or retired, the post gyms are pretty good, if you avoid 6-8 PT rush. Ritz-Epps and Tucker are both nice and upgraded.
4. Several members of the Cumberland County Schools are using the Omni Gym on Owen Drive or All Americab Drive. I hear there is not a contract that binds an individual to the facility. Apparently that is the case with the Spa and Gold's Gym. The Health Plex is another favorite due to the discounts offered to Cumberland County School employees. Other factors to consider are: child care- hours of operation, military discounts, women only sections, and the perks- tanning, juice bars, saunas, and pools.
5. YMCA hope mills and fayetteville. The Spa there are links for all online I can't provide cause I'm traveling

17. Greetings, I am a Coast Guard Retiree and I just read an article about Fayetteville being one of the top/best for military retirees and also the home of 50K active duty personnel. My question is that I would like to see if I can buy a house. How is the housing market and are they affordable?
Thank you for inquiring about housing in the Fayetteville area. Our Question & Answer Team have come up with several different suggestions for you.
Here are there suggestions:
1. I believe Townsend Realty or others provide a virtual tour of available homes.
There is such a smorgasbord of prices and sized-homes within a 20-mile radius:
from Hope Mills to the south / Hoke border to the west / Ramsey to the north / Eastover to the east.
This interested retiree should know there is an active atmosphere for the Baby Boomer population
from music to the arts to sports to continuing education.
Direct him to the Cycling Club -- Cross Creek Cycling Club (C 4)---they have a website.
As residents of the area, the officers might have opinions/suggestions about the various neighborhoods depending on where they live.
2. The housing market is very healthy in our area and has consistently been so, despite the housing crisis that hit many other states so hard. According to Zillow.com, Fayetteville was number one nationwide for the first three consecutive quarters!
Houses are very affordable here and with the anticipation of BRAC, we have many new home communities springing up! When I work with folks moving to the area, I like to get a feel for their interests and hobbies and will work to find a neighborhood that will more likely appeal to them and their lifestyle! There are homes here to fit nearly anyone's income level. I would be happy to share our most recent absorption rates with you or the person who sent the inquiry if you're interested!
We have some lovely gated-golf communities in the area, as well as a few lake communities. Downtown boasts lovely historic homes, contemporary lofts that sit above locally owned businesses, as well as charming newly-built condos! There is a neighborhood to fit any potential newcomer!
3. There are plenty of houses for rent and for sale. All prices. Houses for 100,000-200,000 are nice homes. We bought a home in Hunter's Crossing subdivision in 2001 for 160,000 but it would sell today for at least 200,000.
We live on the West side of the city. Plenty of real estate firms to help you. You can see them on line also.
18. I will be moving to the area in a few months, and am looking for a nice, family friendly town to live in. Any suggestions? I don't know the area at all! I would love a town that has a good local library (with kids section), as well as a park district that has swimming pools and extracurricular classes available for the kids (such as gymnastics, soccer, etc). Thanks!
Hi, Fayetteville and Cumberland county have a wonderful library system. Something for everyone in the family. I just went to the one branch library today and it is wonderful. Parks and recreation has all kinds of programs for all ages here. Lots of sports and all kinds of things.
In Cumberland county we really don't have all of those things grouped together. They can get a pool and playgrounds in Anderson Creek Club. The rec centers offer sports. Also, if the person is military they do have things on base. Moore county is a good option.I believe the area along MacArthur Road off of Ramsey fits the bill partway.The East Regional Library branch is on the corner of Rosehill and MacArthur /Countryside Gymnastics is on MacArthur near the Ramsey intersection /the College Lakes (techno) and Warrenwood (math/science) grammar schools are on Rosehill Rd.
Hope Mills has a close combination as well. Cheer Dynamic gymnastics is on Legion Rd.Baldwin Elementary is on Legion Rd.
All of our library branches are great for both children and adults with access to computers andmultimedia rentals / book clubs / reading events.
As for swimming pools, the YMCA comes to mind first. I know the Fort Bragg Rd facility has one.I do not know if the Hope Mills building has one.
Regardless of which neighborhood a family lives in, our city Parks and Recreation Dept. has seasonalsports and activities for children.There are many great “communities” within our market area. The main library and most branches have children sections. It just depends on whether you want walking distance or short drives. There are several community parks with slides and swings. Each county has its own extracurricular classes for children. The larger counties have more resources and classes than the small counties. All within driving distance. Most counties publish a calendar of classes or provide the information on line.
19. Are there many homes on lakes and rivers? We would like to re-locate but are looking to buy a house on the water, close to Ft. Bragg.
Yes, we have homes on lakes. One of the most popular is the gated golf community of Carolina Lakes which boasts five lakes, if I"m not mistaken. There are plenty of homes in that area for both rent, as well as for sale, in all price points. The area is also just minutes from post and is an area you probably want to check out!
20. I'm looking to rent a single family home. What are the best Web sites to finding a home rental in Cumberland County, or maybe a realtor who rents out homes?
My company, ERA Strother, has a rental management division called Strother Property Management. I have used Aaims Property Management for years in managing my private rental property and have been pleased with them. I hope this helps!
21. I am looking forward to relocating to Fayetteville, NC within the next couple of weeks. I am also willing to travel back and forth in order to secure a job. What would be the best way that you or anyone can help assist me in finding a job.
matchforce.org is one avenue.
Both businesses look for employees and former military or spouses looking for employment may find
their match.22. Our family just moved here from San Diego. Husband and I are both retired Navy. Do you offer free tax service on base and if so, may I have please have the contact number. Thank you Martha 910-484-2092
Military onesource does Here is his email:
usajoerob@yahoo.com
Hi, yes, Fort Bragg offers free tax service and it is great. My husband is retired Air Force and we have had ours done that way for many years.
Here is some tax info:
http://www.militaryonesource.com/MOS/FindInformation/Category/Topic/Issue/Material.aspx?MaterialID=1395323. I keep hearing talk about lofts/condos/townhomes in the downtown area but have yet to find a web site with listings, prices and availability. Is there a site with side by side comparisons to the surrounding citites of Fort Bragg (detailing: crime rate; statistics; housing prices; school districts; distance to the base and attractions). I am interested in Sanford, Fayetteville (within 10 mile of Fort Bragg) and downtown Fayetteville. What are the stats on singles in their 40's? I want to make sure I don't move into as part of town that is predominately seniors, young families or young Soldiers. Which part of town would best fit a 'foodie', city dweller and prior Midtown Atlanta and NYC resident?
A good place for you to start is Downtown Fayetteville. There are beautiful new condo's and townhomes for sale. They are on Hay Street which is the main street in Downtown Fayetteville. The area has a lot to offer such as restaurants, a cool nightclub, Movie Theatre, shops and a short walk to some museums.There are also various festivals and parades that take place down there at different times of the year. It is a 10-15 minute drive to Fort Bragg. For more information you can go to 300hay.com and look at photos and find out more about that area. I hope this helps!
24. will be relocating to the area from Ft McPherson, GA, during first week of March 2011. interested in purchasing a home in the area but since the Ft Bragg area is so large is there a single source for housing that we can go to. am getting tired of searching site by site, especially since we are not familiar with the area and actually do not have any idea where we would like to purchase our home.
Welcome to Fayetteville! (in advance) I would be happy to help you out. On my website you can search the MLS which is the Multiple Listing Service for Fayetteville and the surrounding areas. It has all the homes that are for sale, you can click on the ones you like and read more about them. You are not required to sign in on my site to view homes like some other sites. If you have any questions you can call me. I will also be happy to send you some information in the mail. My website is www.ricesellsrealestate.com There is no obligation! I am a military spouse so I know what it is like. I hope you find this helpful!!
25. Do you know anything about the TIFFANY PIN Subdivision??
Tiffany Pines is a subdivision in the northern part of Fayetteville close to Fort Bragg and Methodist University. It currently has 16 properties for sale priced from $41,900 (a foreclosure) to $99,500. Most have 3 bedrooms and 1 or 1 full & 1 half baths. A couple have 2 full baths. The number of days on market for these houses are from today to 213.
26. I will be moving with college age dependents. Will they be offered the In-State tuition, or are we considered non-residents for the first year?
The following link will take you to the University of North Carolina 16 campus oversight office and this addresses in-state residency issues. If you are asking about a private college, I would recommend direct contract to that specific college or university. http://www.northcarolina.edu/legal/residence/index.htm
Basic residency rule for in-state tuition at North Carolina public higher education is 12 months immediately prior to the term student is registering. Exceptions allow dependents of active duty military to qualify for in-state rates (with paperwork, of course); there is also a means for active duty personnel to pay no more than in-state tuition, involving a complicated formula that accounts for tuition assistance. Students should talk to admissions and financial aid advisors at their school before classes start to make sure they are filing correct paperwork.
Information obtained from:
Fayetteville Technical Community College admissions website:

Hi, Hope Mills is a nice area but smaller than Fayetteville. If you want a job in the city of Hope Mills itself then there would be less places to get a job. Jobs aren't real plentiful now but it just depends.
The Hope Mills area may make finding a job in the field very hard. I would suggest USAJOBS.COM. I have personally seen many jobs requesting that very degree!28. Who is a good mover in the area?
Hello;M.A.D. Moving company goes above and beyond for their clients and is a good recomend from the agents here at ERA Strother Real Estate. Their phone number is 910 484-6683. Good luck with your move and have a wonderful day.If they are looking for a local mover, I would recommend2013 Ivey Commons Rd, Fayetteville, NC - (910) 484-6683 madmoversnc.com29. Does anyone prepare taxes for free-if not who has the best price?
Some firms or non-profit agencies will advertise these free offerings. You should watch the newspaper and the community service station on the TV. Also, at some designated times, the local offices of IRS and NC Department of Revenue were providing this service for folks with the basic W-2 short form. You may want to call them just to check if they still do this and at what times. You should remember, you get what you pay for in knowledge and stills. If you have more than very simple short form filing, you should consider a trained tax preparer.
30. My fiance is getting stationed at Ft. Bragg and we will be moving there at the end if march. We would like to kno the good neighborhoods to live in and how to go about finding the best rental homes because our time is limited and neither of us are there to physically view the homes
What is your definition of a “good” neighborhood? Contact a REALTOR property manager and ask the agent. Cumberland County has great neighborhoods. We just have to match your definition to an area.
31. there are no dorms but there are Fayetteville Technical Community College Apartments For Rent. would Will financial aid pay for rent?
Recommend they talk with financial aid office at Fayetteville Tech.
32. I have a 5 yr old daughter, I also am looking for work. got any suggestions?
There are several employment agencies but the place to start is NC Employment Security Commission. https://www.ncesc.com/default.aspx

You will need to contact the Register of Deeds in the county in which he died. They will have the official death certificate. Example you can go to google.com for “register of deeds Cumberland county”. You probably will have to call the office direct to receive final instructions.
34. What is the best way to search for a Civilian job at Fort Bragg?

45. are there any single family homes for rent that accept section 8 housing vouchers?
Yes, check out http://www.fayettevillemetrohousingauthority.org/index.asp?Page=programs/section846. I will be moving to Fayetteville at the end of July. I need help finding a church to worship at. I'm Penacostal Holiness and my husband is AME Baptist.
Their are many churches in Fayetteville that will meet both of your needs.
I would visit:
Covernt Love Worship Center
Manna Church
I was a music directory in a Penacostal church for 15yrs.47. looking for something to rent with a good elementary school and not more than 30 minutes to post.
There are many, many rental properties available in practically every school district. The first two decisions that need to be made center on how much money do they want to spend for rent per month and which school district do they desire. Here is the link to the Cumberland County School System if they want to do some research on the schools (http://www.ccs.k12.nc.us/Default.htm).
There are several houses for rent and for sale in the Haymont area. You have Alma Eason Elementary School, and it is less than 30 minutes.48. If you're not a military family and are thinking of relocating to Fayetteville, how difficult is that process and is there enough employment to support a relocating family?
It depends on what kind of work you do. There is a lot of work in the construction industry, as well as truck driving jobs.
Also you can check out the web site http://pipelinenc.com/49. Hi - I am looking at relocating to the area and am looking for pictures of the downtown area. Many sites speak about it being historic and beautiful, but can't find any pictures. Do you have links on your site that I couldn't find or do you know of others? Thanks, Ryan
