Quality of Life in Johnston County, NC

The communities in Johnston County – Smithfield, Selma, Clayton, Benson, Cleveland, Four Oaks and Kenly – make up one of the fastest-growing areas in the state. Part of the reason is the easy access to Raleigh-Durham and the Triad region, located just 30 minutes away. Smithfield, right off Interstate 95, was the birthplace of Ava Gardner, and there’s a museum that honors her. Johnston Community College offers a roster of interesting classes, and the Neuse River provides outdoor enthusiasts with a place to play.
