We live on the edge of Burlington. We are retired. It is 1.5 hours from the Mountains and 2 hrs from the beach. The neighbors are very friendly. There are things to do  More

Crime?
Over 17 years ago

Crime in Rutherfordton in next to non-existant. You hardly ever hear of murder or rape here. I'm aware that we have burgleries and so forth, but very serious crime?   More
