Location, Location, Location!

Johnston County’s location is one of its biggest advantages. Major routes, such as I-40, I-95, and I-42 keep residents connected to Raleigh, eastern North Carolina, and destinations up and down the east coast. That ease-of-access makes Johnston County optimal for those who work in the Triangle area but prefer a quieter homebase while offering a perfect launchpad for weekend road trips. 

Johnston County itself is unique as it is home to a collection of small towns with distinct personalities. Residents enjoy downtown shopping and dining in Clayton and Smithfield, exploring Selma’s antique shops, or visiting local farms, markets, breweries, and restaurants throughout the county.

A Roomier Lifestyle

Simply put, Johnston County offers homebuyers more space. Each of JSJ Builders’ six communities takes advantage of wooded surroundings with generously sized homesites. That extra space supports a variety of lifestyles with:

• Plenty of backyard space for children or pets to play.
• Room for outdoor entertaining and gardening.
• Increased privacy found through a bit more distance from adjacent homes.

JSJ Builders’ offers homebuyers a coveted combination of space and unique floorplans creating the perfect place to put down roots. 

Accessible Outdoor Recreation

Johnston County’s natural amenities are another reason residents enjoy calling it home. Local trail systems include portions of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail and East Coast Greenway, while the Neuse River offers opportunities for paddling or fishing. There are also several parks and greenways throughout the county that offer beautiful spots to walk, run, or play.

Residents here have convenient access to playgrounds, athletic programs, and community recreation. Whether your ideal Saturday involves a long bike ride, a picnic, a round of golf, or cheering on a favorite young athlete, Johnston County makes it easy.

As Johnston County continues to grow, so are new opportunities for shopping, dining, healthcare and employment. Still, the county maintains a focus on preserving its open landscapes and the welcoming pace that makes the area so attractive.
