nice parks, top notch recreation areas, and yearly festivals

love the small town feel
We were both raised in Winterville. We loved almost everything about it. We loved the small town feel. We also loved the city park where our kids could play. We loved the annual Marigold festival which included a parade and more.

Within walking distance are six very good restaurants with prices from six dollars to thirty dollars a plate. Two gas stations, miscellaneous clothing and antique stores. We are working on adding sidewalks but it’s easy enough to walk to the post office, the library and the health department clinic.
