Fredda, there are several areas of interest in the Lenoir Community. I just noticed the date of your question, are you still in the market for a home? There is a link you may click on if you desire. If you need further assistance please contact me.

Fredda,
While I do not live in Lenoir anymore I am from there and my family is still there. There is not alot of flooding in the majority of the area. Of course if you live on or very close to one of the many waterways you are in a zone. Lenoir itself is sort of inbetween. Take for instance the Lenoir golf course is in the low lying area and floods when it rains a good bit. But, the downtown area is not. There are several area developments that are in lower lying areas like for instance my brothers home. He lives in the Lower Creek area and the name says it all. But with that said there are areas in that section that are not in a flood zone either. As far as the desirable question it would depend on your own personal criteria which includes price. Lenoir has a wide range of pricing. This is an area that was and to a degree still is the furniture capital. The Broyhills, Kincaids, and Bernhardts still call this home. So if you like I can help you just decide on what you are looking for and let me know I have several friends which are top agents in the area. I grew up there so I can answer any question you might have. By the way I understand the move my sister-in-law lives in Gaithersburg, MD and she is moving down here when her husband retires.

Take care,

If you're still interested, I was born and raised in the Lenoir area. As a Realtor with an extensive background in this area, I have a wealth of knowledge surrounding Lenoir Real Estate. Because Google has just completed their 215 acre facility in Lenoir, the housing market is sure to be in high demand in this area. To tell you the most desirable areas, I would need to know what price range and square footage you are interested in viewing, as well as other criteria. For flooding information, I would recommend you visit the following site: http://www.ci.lenoir.nc.us/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7… Thank you and I hope to talk with you soon.

Fredda, I can get one of my local contacts/Realtors there to you some information that answers your question. I think you will be best served by a local person in Lenoir.
