Smithfield is the county seat of Johnston County, and one of the oldest towns in North Carolina. Founded in 1777, Smithfield has an interesting history that still is reflected in some of our lovely older neighborhoods, our revitalized downtown business district, our Town Commons along the Neuse River, and in our renowned Johnston County Heritage Center.

Our community has grown to more than 12,000 residents and is located in the center of Johnston County – a county with a population approaching 150,000. Smithfield is well-located with convenient access via major highways, railroads, and airports. Raleigh, our dymanic state capital, is only 28 miles away, and we're just two hours from North Carolina’s beaches and four hours from the mountains.

The Smithfield area offers a number of available homes in a variety of styles, prices, and locations. Locations range from historic neighborhoods with elegant older homes to several new and inviting subdivisions. If you are interested in new construction, single-family homes and town houses are being built in established neighborhoods and also near our golf courses, including lakeside vistas. Building sites are also available for custom-built homes. Housing choices are wide open for preferences and tastes.
