Lumberton is an easygoing, affordable base for multi‑week assignments—small‑city pace, local spots to unwind after shifts, and low day‑to‑day stress make it comfortable to live in for several weeks while you recharge between work.
Bigger‑city options are a short drive: Fayetteville (~35 miles) offers broader shopping, dining and cultural amenities, and Wilmington (about 72 miles) provides a lively riverfront, historic downtown and Atlantic beaches for easy day‑trips or weekend escapes.
