Walnut Creek, NC

Tucked just outside Goldsboro in Wayne County, Walnut Creek is a quiet village of around 1,400 residents. The community grew around the Walnut Creek Country Club and several small lakes, giving the area a peaceful, scenic feel. Shaded residential streets wind past Lake Wackena, the golf course, tennis courts, and the community pool. Most daily errands and work trips lead into neighboring Goldsboro, where you will find plenty of shopping, dining, and healthcare options.

Local students attend Wayne County Public Schools, and the village itself has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where neighbors regularly walk the lakefront roads or take golf carts down to the clubhouse. For travel across the region, U.S. 70 runs right by the village, making for an easy commute to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, Kinston, or Raleigh. It is a comfortable, tight-knit place to settle down if you want waterfront living without losing touch with city conveniences.
