Washington, North Carolina Best Place To Live
Washington North Carolina holds the distinction as being the first town named after our first president, General George Washington, and as you would imagine, has a rich history.
At the heart of the Inner Banks, Washington is comprised of a grid-work collection of streets and sits on the banks of the Pamlico River, a place where pines sip from flowing waters.
The river links Washington to the Pamlico Bay, the Outer Banks NC and finally the Atlantic Ocean, providing an environment of economic viability and natural beauty.
The scenic waterfront and downtown sections of Washington are filled with 19th century buildings, stately homes and beautiful gardens reminding residents and visitors of when the town was a shipping center.
But Washington, NC doesn't stop there.
There are fine dining restaurants, antique stores, art galleries and performing arts centers.
The waterway has also helped other towns and cities to become prosperous, such as Edenton, NC to the north and Morehead City, NC to the south.
Route 17 runs north and south, and Route 264 runs east and west connecting Washington NC with the rest of the mainland.
