    "Not sure but it seems like there are lots of places to take your dogs on leash. Although many of the roads have no shoulder"
  • Bigliz14
    "Great place to live and raise a family . People are friendly and atmosphere in this town is fantastic "
  • Trulia User

  • KatieB
    "Most people don’t walk their dogs they let them run loose or keep them fenced, those who do walk their dogs are usually friendly and always say hello! "
  • Irving R.
    "vehicle is a must have commodity to get around when you live out of the town city limits. Unless you like to walk or ride a bike. They're are few other drawbacks as well. Communicating by cell phone is not very good around the countryside, lacking cell towers. This is a problem, even trying to get on the internet. Somedays are better than others but still we have poor reception. Other than that we have the beautiful outdoors. We can enjoy going to the national forest for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing or just driving around the back roads and enjoy scenery as well as wildlife. Living outside the city's limit might have it's drawbacks but you take the good and the bad as it comes and make the best of it."

    "Murphy, NC is a small community with all the basics (yes, including Walmart). There is a lot to do or you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. Winters are NOT harsh, however, you will need warm clothing. You can enjoy the wildlife from your back deck or walk the many trails throughout the county. Although Murphy will have a Casino come the Summer of 2015; it will have little impact on the quality of life."
  • Wendy B.
