I have been here in Goldsboro for 13 years and hate it. Just recently decided to move. Unless you have any ties to the Air Force and SJAFB, there really is no reason to be in GOldsboro. The crime is high, drugs, prostitution, breaking and enterings everyday in the paper. Too many projects and low income run down. If you want a decent paying engineering job, Goldsboro is not the place to be. What about Raleigh?? The school system here is aweful too, if you have kids you don't want them in the public school system in Goldsboro. Trust me, take it from someone that knows...look elsewhere. Raleigh, Greenville, Wilmington....anywhere but Goldsboro.
I grew up in goldsboro (jr. high and high school) and do not advise anyone with children to move there!! Terrible public school system, prolification of drugs, and crime. I am from an upper middle-class family, lived in Walnut Creek, my Father was a high ranking officer in the USAF. All I can say is thank The Lord that my husband and I were able to move away from that stink hole. When my Dad retired my parents jetted out of there as well! I would never want to raise my children there---EVER. Run, Run, Run to Raleigh or Cary or Charlotte, if you have a professional career and the finacial ability to do so. Live in Wilmington only if you are going to College or are retiring a multi-millionaire. Stay away from Goldsboro, Kinston, Smithfield, Clayton, Snow Hill, Greenville. Otherwise consider the mountains for an affordable, eclectic, artistic, "natural" lifestyle.
for all these people that say they dont like fayetteville, have you actually been to fayetteville, not just a drive thru going down I95, that doesnt count.

Yes. Typical military town. Strip joints, Adult book stores & Pawn shops.
I will give Fayetteville that they have cleaned up "Hay St".
Fayetteville has had alot of problems lately. Especially shootings & murders.
well talking crime related... when i stayed in charlotte for a bit there was a guy that raped a girl in south carolina, went up to charlotte to he's brother's in a neighborhood off west harris, a cop shows up, he shots the cop takes he's brother hostage and from mallard creek to (sugar creek?) but was closed off, i was in that neighborhood at that time, 2 houses down across the street. later there was a shooting that killed to cops. i mean if people keep going off crime, i mean charlotte has just as much as with any other city, yes for a city of fayetteville's size there is a bit more but there is crime in every single city in the world.

Yes, I've lived in Fayetteville. Almost my entire family (mom's side & dad's side) have lived there since before I was born, so when I wasn't living there, I was visiting there every Thanksgiving, Christmas, summers, deaths, weddings, church things, etc. I don't like the area, but as someone else said, it's just an opinion and a matter of personal taste.

Yes, been living here the last 8 1/2 years, very cluttered, very crowded, crime rate is high, traffic is bad and I concur with the 7 oh 4's last post.
And yes they are trying to make it better but still have a lot of catching up to do.
