Incorporated in 1883, Woodland, North Carolina, is a small but diverse community. This rural town is part of Northhampton County, an agricultural region located in the northeastern section of the state. Although the population is small, the demand for affordable housing - especially for seniors - remains high. In fact, all other communities in the area are at 100% occupancy and maintain waitlists.
