	The city of Kinston and the eastern part of North Carolina has so much to offer. The Bentley is almost centrally located in eastern NC. Most Kinstonians live with a "metropolitan point of view" --considering the coastal plain as one large city with beautiful highways between destinations. Not to mention the glorious climate! North Carolina's capitol of Raleigh is just an hour and a half to the west, via several easy, beautiful routes. The NC Museum of Art, The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, EXPLORIS an Interactive Museum about the World, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences --the largest natural history museum in the Southeastern United States, plus the big city restaurants, shops, malls, sporting events, concerts, -and everything you may already enjoy or appreciate can probably be experienced in the Triangle. About the same distance (the other direction) is the Atlantic Ocean at Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, Beaufort, or Emerald Isle to the southeast. Visit the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, plus further connections via the NC Ferry System to the Outer Banks and a 2.5 hour ferry ride to Ocracoke. North Carolina's famous lighthouses are wonderful stops along our coastline. 50 minutes to Wilson northwest to pickup I95 heading north or 264 to Raleigh.
