Johnston County · The County Seat
Smithfield is Johnston County’s seat: a courthouse downtown, the Neuse River, and the outlets off I-95.
The Community
Smithfield runs Johnston County’s business. The courthouse and county offices sit downtown, surrounded by historic blocks, the Ava Gardner Museum, and restaurants along Market Street. The Neuse River edges the town with a riverwalk and park; Carolina Premium Outlets pull shoppers off I-95 from both directions. Housing spans old town homes with real porches, established mid-century streets, and newer neighborhoods pushing toward Clayton and Selma.
Highlights
Courthouse, county offices, and the services that come with being the center of Johnston.
Market Street storefronts, the Ava Gardner Museum, and blocks of period homes.

Who It Fits
Buyers who want an established town rather than a subdivision, families working in Johnston County, and investors following the US-70 corridor east.
