Jacksonville NC

Located just off the North Carolina coast, Jacksonville NC is best known as the Home of Camp Lejeune and New River MCAS.  As of July 2007, Jacksonville has a population of 74,614 people.  Because of the proximity of the military bases, the influence of both active and retired military is always present.  Their experiences as well as their service dominates the culture.

Jacksonville received positive recognition on the national stage in 2008. 

First, Jacksonville was deemed the best place to raise children in North Carolina by Businessweek Magazine.

Then, Jacksonville NC was ranked No. 1 in home value appreciation out of 163 metropolitan statistical areas by Zillow.com, a popular real estate Web site.

With this kind of national recognition, Jacksonville NC is very attractive to home buyers.  With the stability of the local military bases, and the steady appreciation of value, it seems Jacksonville NC has leapt to the top of the national stage in real estate investment.
