0p The city has eight public schools, one private school, and a tertiary institution. Nonetheless, I especially appreciate living in Tarboro, NC due to the low cost of living. Anyone can get their preferred home in the city.

Getting around the city to your preferred destination is easy due to its scrupulously planned out transportation network. I only need to drive a few miles to get to the Boogielou Johnson for shopping. Besides that, I have an affinity for spending time outdoors. Tarboro, NC has two parks; the Sunset Park and the Burlington Park. I often spend my sunny weekends exploiting some of the best areas in Tarboro, NC. Read Less
