Spring Lake is a large swath of northern Fayetteville that encompasses both undeveloped land and newly constructed residential hotspots. Proximity to Fort Bragg makes this area popular among those who work on the base. Residents love the area for the extra space it affords when compared to Fayetteville and its downtown. Highway 401 makes it easy to commute into the city to enjoy the restaurants and attractions, and Interstate 295 makes exploring the rest of the area simple.
