With a history dating back prior to the Revolutionary War, the Cape Fear valley is a charming blend of history and modern convenience. Historical buildings and museums sit side-by-side with modern businesses, including the sprawling Cape Fear Valley Health campus.

Although Cape Fear rests in the heart of Fayetteville, nature lovers flock to the area thanks to the Cape Fear Botanical Garden, which also hosts exercise classes, lectures, and concerts. Daily walkers or bikers may want to look for a home for rent near the Cape Fear River Trail, a paved trail that winds for more than five miles.

Enjoy a hearty, family-style meal at JK's Diner and Deli or chow down on some great southern barbecue at Cape Fear BBQ & Chicken, then catch a classic stage show at Cape Fear Regional Theater. Cape Fear's central location and diverse neighborhoods make it easy to find something to do.
