Moving to Pinehurst, NC (Southern Pines, Whispering Pines: crime rate, safest area, place to live)

[Francine1]

I am planning to move to the Pinehurst, NC area in the next few months. Does anyone know of the safest areas to live in?.

Hi Francine,

Whispering Pines has the lowest crime rate in the area and they also have their own police department.

I have also heard that Longleaf Country club is also very low in crime

Most of Pinehurst also is very low.

The Pinehurst area is a wonderful place to live and I feel safe here.

It depends, do you have kids? There are great neighborhoods in Southern Pines too that are very safe and good for kids.

Check out the stats here on city data.

Pinehurst crime index is 42

US Average is 320

Lower is better. So, as you can see, crime is almost non existent here.

You lucky thing! My favorite place in all of NC and I don't even play golf.

Check out the Chamber of Commerce when you get to town. Just up the road from Walmart. Very friendly people.
