Goldsboro Apartments for Rent

Sweet, Sweet BBQ

Welcome to Goldsboro, NC, where the air is sweet, and the roads are paved with North Carolina’s finest barbeque sauce. Don’t slip on your way to your newly rented apartment!

Besides walking on BBQ sauce at all times, what is it about this little town in the heart of Wayne County that gives it that that extra sumthin sumthin? Maybe for the kids it’s the miniature train, tennis courts, gazebo, pond, and playground at Herman Park. Or perhaps if you’re a bit competitive, it’s the relaxing 18-hole golf course. For the hikers, it’s climbing the cliffs of the Neuse State Park and overlooking the Neuse River and appreciating the awesome power of erosion. For those of the military persuasion, Goldsboro’s flare could come from the fact that this city is home to the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Or maybe it’s the Spring Bank Stables where you can ride a horse with the wind blowing in your hair, while hearing Erasure’s song “Always” echoing in your mind. (If you don’t know that song you now must look it up on YouTube.)

Hats, With BBQ on the Side

A hat meal isn’t very satisfying, so instead you should probably take advantage of the authentic eastern North Carolina-style barbeque. I mean, Wayne County is hailed as the “Barbeque Capital of the World” after all! That’s why your first stop should be to pay a visit to Wilber’s Barbeque. When I hear the name “Wilber” I think of that cute little pig from Charlotte’s Web, which I guess is both appropriate and creepy since one of Wilber’s famous dishes is their pulled pork. That was some pig! If you want to get away from this whole BBQ thing, then maybe you should check out Sumo Japanese Steak and Sushi at 301 N Spence Ave for sushi. The Goldsboro Roll is obviously favored by the locals, so take a break from unpacking and venture out from your new apartment to explore some good eats!

A Gold(sboro) Mine for Art!

Goldsboro has no lack of culture, and it is easy to make or find a niche here. Artists will love the local scene and appreciate the Arts Council of Wayne Square who put on exhibitions, live music, and dance performances, as well as various visual and performing arts classes in the Ash Street facility. If you are more of an appreciator, step back in time to the Wayne County Museum, at 116 North William Street, which memorializes World War II with rotating exhibits.

Education and BBQ

Don’t expect to always get the best BBQ at every restaurant you go to in North Carolina, but expect to get the best education at every school in Wayne County. Wayne County Public Schools are known for their involvement with the community. It is their mission to make their students upstanding Goldsborian citizens. This school district works to give your child the best education and extracurricular opportunities to expand their interests and capabilities.

W(ay)ine Count(r)y

See what I did there? It’s Wayne County aaaand Wine Country! Cue slow clap, thank you very much. I am serious about this being a county where you can get a drink though. Raleigh, right next to Goldsboro, has a nightlife that will tire you out. Grab a beer at Natty Greene’s Pub and Brewing Company at 505 West Jones Street and enjoy Thursday $3 pint night. If you are in the mood for something a little more upbeat, check out Legends at 339 West Hargett Street which is an all-inclusive gay club that has a dance floor, DJs, pool, darts, drag shows, cute guys and dolls, and drinks. If you are looking for something a little quieter, and a little funnier, go to the Goodnight’s Comedy Club at 861 West Morgan Street to see comedians work to make you smile.

You might be smiling because you just came out of Goodnight’s Comedy Club, or maybe you are smiling because you just realized all the golden opportunities in Goldsboro that you can take advantage of when you rent an apartment isn’t costing you a ton of gold. Ba-dum-bum-ching!"""
