2 Reviews & Comments About Hamlet
I live in Hamlet and it's a bad place to live!
I lived in Hamlet N.C from birth until I turned 24 years old and my entire family still lives there. Hamlet is a wonderful place to live and I always feel safe when I go home to visit. Just like every other town there are bad people and Hamlet does have some.
For the most part people in Hamlet and Rockingham are good people and a tight knit community. Just because the Facebook page doesn't have a lot of likes means nothing. No one in my family has ever been robbed in Hamlet or Rockingham and I will always feel safe there.
