What it’s like
The place. Belvidere is a small township in Perquimans County, in the flat, low-lying northeast corner of North Carolina. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers turn hot by July. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the course of a year. Homes here are valued below what is typical for the country as a whole.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants and hotels, in government, or in shops. Across Perquimans County, the largest workplaces include Perquimans County Schools, FedEx and Food Lion. Commutes are long, and almost no one works from home. Unemployment across the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The area is better suited to water and woodland than to crowds. Dismal Swamp State Park and Merchants Millpond State Park are protected areas, and the Roanoke and Chowan Rivers are rivers worth the trip; each is a longer drive away. History-minded visitors can head to St. Paul's Church in Edenton, an archaeological site that is also a longer drive from town.
