Stay away from Bonnie Doone, Murchison Rd and Massey Hill area. 4. Skibo Rd is the busiest in Fayetteville. The Mall, Target, lots of restaurants other shopping centers. 5. Military town with a large diversity of people

Ah, yes...Skibo. Sky🎀 is the pronunciation. It's Scottish I usually hear it as ⛷️🎀 Skee-bow from non locals Fayetteville is definitely making efforts to clean up it's act. Theres been quite a bit that divided the area throughout its history (including laws not allowing the area to expand, so it's very non cohesive) I haven't checked out your blog yet, but if you're interested in a history adventure, the downtown history museum is worth the trip. It won't necessarily explain the horrendous driving. It's not strictly an American thing, there's definitely something different in a bad way about the Fayetteville drivers 😅

Great video! It’s been about 4 months living here in Fayetteville after over 20 years being in S. Florida. Loving here every day that gets by. I believe you spoke a very true statement as far as what you’re looking for, you will find it. I can safely say that so far, I much enjoy how diverse Fayetteville is. Where I came from, there were specific pockets of concentrated wealth areas. At the beach are millionaires, before the beach are very dangerous very low income class neighborhoods, in the middle is middle/low income neighborhoods, right above that are the wealthy and past them are the other millionaires. What I love about Fayetteville is that there is a “healthy” mix scattered between. Thankfully, through our research and an amazing realtor, we picked a pretty chill spot where within the past 4 months, we haven’t heard any shootings, theft, cars being broken into and we even go out for walks at night with our pup. Of course there are the areas where I was advised to stay away from if I don’t have business being there and I’ve seen a couple places through my exploring where it was good that I drove through it so I know what’s there and I don’t have to go back. But as far as what people said to us before moving over, they called it “fayettenam”, to what I’m seeing now that I’m here, I think is all a perception of what you want it to be. Truth be told, where I’ve lived prior to here, so far, it was more dangerous then now and we were in a middle class area. We love Fayetteville and really couldn’t be happier. You were spot on everything. I also don’t really like the fact that we are on a valley so when winter comes, we don’t get as much snow as other places but all in all, it’s exactly where we wanted to be. If anyone is looking for a realtor, I highly recommend James M. Walker, realtor in Fayetteville. Look him up. I’ve dealt with a lot of people back in s Florida but the professionalism and amazing personality he brought on with him, stick with us to the point that he was my first real friend up here. Again, great video and I will definitely check out your blogs for things to do seeing that I also love driving out to all American trail area and discovering new things!

Hello! We also live here in Fayetteville. My husband is originally from s. Florida as well, and initially when he retired from the Army we were looking to buy in S. Florida, but ultimately decided to stay here and buy because we really like the location. Close enough to the coast, but far enough away to not have to deal with the rougher hurricane weather during that time of year.we really enjoy the milder weather as well. Not too cold in the winter, but summers can be 🥵🔥…..but that’s okay because that’s when we hit up the beach! Also love the proximity to Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Wilmington. Thankfully our neighborhood is quiet and full of retired military. We are on the border of Fayetteville though, near Raeford…..close to Gillis Hill. Skibo is avoided by us as well lol.

@@chrissmarie455 lol we just had international festival which was this whole weekend. Aaran Hills, Hope Mills, Raeford those are all towns within Fayetteville that are nice. Some areas close to Ramsey Rd / MacArthur area is nice also, Spring Hill is another nice town. We’ve been here for a year now and I maintain what I said over 5 months ago. I have the news app for the area and Raleigh/Durham area seem to have a lot of heat going on. Raleigh is bigger and more metropolitan of an area but we were looking for a quieter place and Fayetteville was just that. I’m surrounded by nice neighbors and haven’t heard anything happen in the neighborhood within a year. Matter of fact, my next door neighbor has been here for over 20 years, he’ll go o it of town and leave his garage door open lol. Said no one’s ever broke in or had any incidents happen here. We had heard plenty of bad mouth towards Fayetteville before we decided. But I suggest actually taking a week off (maybe two if possible), come down here, stay in a hotel and explore the area. If you need a realtor I can recommend one, the same guy that we got our house through and for the first time ever, my realtor and I are friends to this day. Rockfish is another nice area. If you’re looking for a super busy life and need to be surrounded by people everywhere you go, Charlotte and Raleigh are much better choices. I mean where I am I still have Harris Teeter (it’s like Publix here lol), 1 publix lol, Walmart, target, Best Buy, cvs, walgreen, all fast food restaurants (only thing we don’t have here that we had in Florida was Popeyes chicken lol), international foods (mexican, Peruvian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Colombian, Jamaican, Indian, Thai….list goes on) and it’s all literally at most a 15 min drive. The BEST thing we like living here is traffic. Traffic here is never bad in comparison with Raleigh or Charlotte. It’ll get busy but it’s nothing like west palm Florida busy lol.

I was in the 80's while in the 82nd Airborne and drove a motorcycle and a car. I basically just drove to visit family out of state. When I wasn't training or on deployment I was fishing in the waters of Ft Bragg. I really enjoyed my time there and had some great friends who were locals. Nice airport and quaint AMTRAK station. We used to go discover mom & pop BBQ places because they do it right. Glad to hear Hay st. cleaned up. The only time weather was an issue was hitting the drop zone when it was frozen at 0300 hours. Only bad memories was saying Goodbye. Thanks for sharing your video and thoughts.

I've lived here since I was 7, I've seen the good and bad parts of Fayetteville. I was actually a good driver but I chose to longer dive because of too much stress. The summer is my worst complaint so humid and hot. Fayetteville is like the open ocean I have lived in the hood areas, I lived in Bonnie Dune for 6 years and never had a problem.

Lifelong reaident of Fayetteville and I agree with all of your comments! I would add for the dislikes the overcrowding/population density (it heavily contributes to the traffic and poverty though...) and I would move weather over to likes, but I can sympathize with and understand your reasoning for disliking it. I have a son with eczema and it has been much more difficult to control with the erratic weather and humidity here. Like AND dislike for being a military town... it brings diversity to our area in food and culture, we love meeting new military members and dependents in the community. The dislikes are additional overcrowding/traffic/crime, since we are are a more open base and the constant booms 💥 and helicopters/ C-130 air traffic from military exercises in the field. If you have a skittish pet or are a light sleeper, this could be an issue. 😉

Pedro come live in the Bronx, it's really bad here, I'm a retired Army disabled veteran, I was stationed at FT. Bragg, its allot better and safer than the Bronx trust me on that, its what you do to make your better, so a few negative comments shouldn't discourage you from moving to Fayetteville, do your research many soldiers retire in Fayetteville NC, so come January 2023 I'm moving back to Fayetteville NC, NYC is too expensive for my pension, toll bridges, parking is hell, apt rentals are horrendous, a 1 bedroom apt in the Bronx which is hood will cost you $1500 plus, you can rent a nice house in Fayetteville for that amount, price of groceries in NYC is expensive, good luck hope you'll like it there.

There is nothing to love about Fayetteville, its a crap town. I have no idea, of what job, that made you move there. Many other NC cities like Raleigh, Charlotte, or maybe even Greensboro would benefit more. Good luck.

You're wrong, maybe you haven't been overseas, I retired from FT. Bragg, come to the Philippines and see first hand how driving is, you'll be shocked, if you cannot come here go to KZread look up driving in the Philippines and see, in Manila if you go 3-4 KLMs it will take you @ 2-3+ hours, Filipinos are irresponsible drivers, you'll appreciate Fayetteville, also I come from the Bronx, come here and drive for yourself. Come January 2023 I'm leaving the Philippines back to the USA.

You are way to classy and educated for Fayetteville, miss.

Crazy!!

Yadkin Rd and skibo isnt bad btw

Here's rule of thumb for North Carolina. Do your homework thoroughly on the politicians and their policies. This is actually becoming a hitler ran State pay attention to the new laws that I've been coming across. You will see the prejudice taken a ride away from women. Gerry mandering like crazy. Pay attention to where you're moving at tons of corruption in the political realm. And it is not for the people

No job 🔥 hot 🥵

Driving advice not helpful. People watching this video are looking to move to Fayetteville. We need knfo about the city and whatbits like to live there. People drive like this all over NC. We know the weather! Cmon lady

Maybe it's not that it's not a helpful video and more that it wasn't suited to you. In any case it's *my* subjective video on what *I* loved and didn't love about Fayetteville anyway

True but not all people drive recklessly, don't get upset for a few irresponsible drivers, you have auto insurance, no need to worry.

The drivers here suck, she is accurate. I believe it’s because it’s a melting pot of people from all over with different driving styles due to the people stationed because of Bragg.

I lived in Fayetteville for over30 yrs couldnt wait to get out of there and moved to Rockingham back in October 2022 now I wish I still lived there lol Fayetteville is paradise compared to rockingham
