The charming city of Kinston is home to the decadent smell of North Carolina cooking, the lush banks of the Neuse River, and a small-town friendliness that attracts all walks of life. Residing in Lenoir County off US Highway 70, this cozy community has everything you could need. Kinston is served by a public airport, Kinston Regional Jetport, and a non-profit hospital, UNC Lenoir Health Care. The picturesque downtown area is lined with towering historical architecture, delicious local eateries, and charm you can only find in the southeast coastal plains. Locals will treat themselves to a steaming helping of blueberry barbeque chicken and collard greens at the Chef & the Farmer and hit up Mother Earth Brewing afterwards for a sustainably brewed local pint. Families and sports lovers will frequent Kinston's Grainger Stadium, home to its minor league baseball team, the Down East Wood Ducks. A quirky gem of the community is Pearson Park, where children can let imagination run wild at the Loch Neuse Dragon Playground. Between all of this, the historic CSS Neuse Civil War Interpretive Center, Kinston Music Park, and a trifle of other local hotspots, Kinston is sure to keep its residents and visitors delighted. Renters wanting a slice of this unique city can find very affordable apartments and single-family homes available, with the cost of living remaining lower than the national average.
