Quality of Life in Johnston County, NC

 Named one of America's Best Places to Live by Livability.com

The communities in North Carolina's 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 a museum and yearly festival honor her. The Bentonville Battlefield State Historic Site, the largest Civil War Battlefield in North Carolina, is located in eastern Johnston County. Johnston Community College offers higher education opportunities, and the Neuse River is a favorite outdoor recreation spot.
