Pine Village

Living in Lee County, North Carolina

Lee County is a place where traditional values are embraced. An easy drive from the Raleigh, Fayetteville, Southern Pines, and Chapel Hill areas, Lee County is an all-American community, dedicated to faith, family and country.

New faces and new ideas are welcome. Here, new residents become friends in neighborhoods that include cozy cottages on quiet, tree-lined streets; reasonably-priced homes with architectural grace in our historic district; and classy, high-end waterfront properties in gated communities.

Sanford maintains the beauty and charm of its past as a small southern railway town. Our quaint city center restaurants reflect our diversity, offering everything from health-conscious to Latino, Caribbean, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Tex-Mex, finger-licking soul, and of course classic southern cuisine.

Sanford believes in entertainment. There is a refurbished, vintage theater featuring top-quality guild actors; weekly free concerts (jazz, bluegrass, beach music, classical) in our town square park; an annual statewide high school battle of the bands; a community orchestra and chorus that welcome new members; and the largest annual pottery festival in the Southeast.

Recreation opportunities abound as Lee County is also equidistant to beaches and mountains. Enjoy boating, swimming and camping at a local lake or take in a round of golf at one of the many nearby golf courses.

Education is a priority with a newly opened high school, a new middle school under construction and two K-12 low-enrollment private schools. The local community college offers programs for those seeking associate degrees, or simply to enhance their lives through continuing education. Ideally situated within a short drive to metropolitan business, technical and medical areas like Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Greensboro. Plenty of jobs are available in our thriving businesses and industries.
