I sold my home in Lumberton to go remodel my childhood home in PA after my Father passed. I'm waiting on rates to sell it and get back to Lumberton or Silsbee, preferably Lumberton. When I first moved to Lumberton in 2000, I received 2 speeding tickets 10 days apart......Stupid ones, like 44 in a 35 on Westchance cutoff.......I was mad at first, but learned to appreciate a clean town and very little crime. Lumberton has it's problems, but I would choose it over anyplace in our area.

Lumberton is about 20 miles North of Beaumont Texas. Lots of benefits living in Hardin County versus Jefferson county - main one being much cheaper insurance.

The Feds need to clean out Memphis. Seriously.

Sounds like a safe place to raise a family.  That is good policing and community involvement.

I completely agree!  Stayed there for two years 2012-2014 in Cordova.  Had to cut grass with pistol in back pocket.  Begged my Regional Administrator to please move me for the sake of saving my marriage.  Police Union had a billboard that said enter at your own risk. A C Wharton was the Mayor.
