Jacksonville, NC Apartments for Rent

Jacksonville stretches along the banks of the New River in Onslow County and serves as home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, one of the largest military installations on the East Coast. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Jacksonville, you'll discover everything from modern apartment communities near the base to established neighborhoods like Carolina Forest and Northwoods. With a median household income around $48,550 and average one-bedroom rents at about $1,114, the city makes coastal North Carolina living accessible without the steep prices of beachfront towns.

Renting in Jacksonville means easy access to both military facilities and coastal fun. The city's New River location brings waterfront activities at Willingham Park, while the Crystal Coast and Intracoastal Waterway are just 15 minutes away. Downtown Jacksonville offers local shops and dining spots, and Coastal Carolina Community College provides educational programs for the community. Highway 17 cuts through the city, linking you to nearby Wilmington down south and the Outer Banks up north. Between the variety of apartment communities, proximity to jobs at Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station, and quick access to coastal attractions, Jacksonville makes sense for renters looking to settle in eastern North Carolina.

Why Jacksonville?

  • Jacksonville is home to Marine Corps Air Station New River and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
  • The Council for the Arts hosts galleries, shows, festivals, and other community events.
  • Hammocks Beach State Park, just over 17 miles from Jacksonville, features gorgeous sunny beaches.
  • New River Waterfront Park, located downtown, is a beautiful park with a floating boat ramp and a boardwalk.
  • Jacksonville has some unusual attractions, such as Jumping Run Creek Mud Bog, the only such bog in the county.
  • Coastal Carolina Community College provides a wide range of cultural and fine arts activities for the community.
