Living in Martin
County
|
| We like to think Martin County offers the best of worlds.
We can be your haven from crowded, urban areas yet, when you're ready for "city excitement", you don't have far to
go. How about this for variety: you can canoe the quiet backwaters of
the Roanoke right here; dine to live jazz in Greenville only 30 minutes
away; enjoy a world-class exhibit at the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh, or
spend a spectacular weekend on North Carolina's Outer Banks fishing,
kayaking windsurfing or hang gliding. It's all within reach, right here in
Martin County. And that's just an appetizer. Come try out the whole
buffet!
