Anderson Creek is located approximately 7 Miles to the North Of Spring Lake/Pope Army Airfield/Ft. Bragg, NC.

Current talks are in place on incorporating Anderson Creek as a town, which would entail a post office being stationed in the community. Currently most Anderson Creek residents have Spring Lake addresses with the zip code 28390. Anderson Creek is serviced by the Harnett County Sheriff's department for law enforcement and Anderson Creek Emergency Services for fire and emergency services.[2]

Anderson Creek is a fast-growing community. Increased rapid growth of the community can be attributed to the increase of Military at nearby Ft. Bragg, as well as the Davis Love III. created golf course "Anderson Creek Club". Just recently at the intersection of Ray and Overhill's roads a shopping center was added. The Anderson Creek Shopping Center comprises a Food Lion, China Star Chinese takeout, Domino's Pizza, Family Dollar, and a Citi Nails nail salon. The Movie Gallery location is now a Fit 4 Life Health Club. The Tigers Pizza and Subs restaurant has moved to a new location near Hwy 210 and Manchester road in neighboring Cumberland County.

The Anderson Creek Plaza includes a McDonald's restaurant, Subway restaurant, a Tobacco Station, a dry-cleaners (Monarch Cleaners), and the Anderson Creek Pharmacy.

The state of North Carolina's Department of Transportation is currently planning road expansion along Ray Road, and as a result the Short Stop Convenience Store & Gas station has closed, and the State Farm Insurance Company office as well as a barber shop have moved to the Anderson Creek Plaza from a nearby location on Ray Road.
