You can find everything from small towns to big cities in the Raleigh area. But if you’re really looking for quintessential small town living in the country, you won’t find anything like Lillington, NC. This picturesque hamlet measures less than 5 square miles and is home to about 3,200 people. It’s a quiet place where you can escape from the bustle of the city and the steady development of Raleigh suburbs. When you decide to buy a home in Lillington and settle down here, it’s because you want to get away from it all, but not too far! Why is Lillington such a great place to live? When you’re watching television or browsing lifestyle photos online or in a magazine, do the country settings catch your eye? Do you get a sense of calm with those images? If you’d rather sit on your front porch on a summer night than hang out at an outdoor cafe in the city, you’ll love Lillington. As the county seat for Harnett County, Lillington is 31 miles south of Raleigh and bordered on the north by the famous Cape Fear River. It’s just about the halfway mark between Raleigh and Fort Bragg in Fayetteville.

A local landmark you’ll get to know is the Lillington Town Clock—officially known as the Senter Family Clock, dedicated to the town’s former mayor. It stands tall outside the Community Center, where Lilllington’s residents take part in the Commemorative Brick Program on the Centennial Plaza. While initially established to fund the clock and the plaza, the purchase of bricks inscribed with names continues to present reminders of the small town feel of Lillington. If you ask the people who live here, they’ll tell you that the people are kind and generous, that life in Lillington is quiet, simple, and good.
