Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a very good means of transportation in Raeford. Finding a parking spot is generally easy. This township is not very appropriate for bicycling because there are few bike lanes, and there are a fair number of hills for cyclists to brave. Getting around as a pedestrian is also not very practical for residents in Raeford because very few day-to-day needs can be carried out without the use of a vehicle.

Services

Accessing one of around 10 grocery stores without the need to get in a car is practical for some, but not all, house buyers in Raeford. There are also approximately 30 restaurants in this township. When it comes to education, in Raeford, residents will generally be able to get to both primary and secondary schools without the use of a vehicle.

Character

People who prefer a slower-paced atmosphere will enjoy Raeford. Raeford is very quiet overall, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue close to one of the 2 airports (Viking,P K Airpark) or one of the railway lines. Parks are very hard to access since they are distributed sporadically. Still, there are around 20 public green spaces close by for residents to visit.
