Maysville, NC

Maysville is a quiet town of around 800 residents set along the White Oak River in southeastern North Carolina. Located right along U.S. 17 in Jones County, it sits halfway between Jacksonville and New Bern. That central spot makes it a convenient option for commuters and military personnel stationed at Camp Lejeune or Cherry Point who want affordable, small-town living within a short drive of both bases and nearby coastal cities.

Everyday life in town moves at an easy pace, centered around Maysville Elementary School, local churches, and neighborhood get-togethers at Frost Park. The White Oak River and the nearby Croatan National Forest give residents plenty of room for fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the outdoors. It provides a peaceful, close-knit rural community with plenty of open space, while keeping city amenities and coastal beaches close at hand.
