NEW BERN NC COMMUNITIES BY TYPE- Just click on one of the links below or scroll down this page to read about some of the fine residential communities in New Bern, North Carolina: OVERVIEW of NEW BERN COMMUNITIES
In this era of uncertainty, make a smart move to a lovely community where you can be assured of a great lifestyle at a fraction of the cost that big cities impose on their residents! New Bern is one of the top growth areas in the state, and North Carolina was named as one of the fastest-growing states in the US. The reasons are many: the beauty of the area--as you can see from this short online tour. Moderate climate draws retirees and families alike. Cherry Point Marine Air Station is a major employer. Golf communities draw people from up and down the east coast. Medical facilities, cultural opportunities, sports, nearby beaches and waterways --and a heavy overlay of history--New Bern has a lot going for it. Commercial development with opportunities in
land parcels is a big part of the dynamism of New Bern. Our Location couldn't be better. New Bern is 40 miles from the Atlantic coast (see our Maps and Transportation page for maps, coordinates, transportation and directions). We are fortunate to NOT be in the vulnerable hurricane strike zone #1 like our neighbors to the east and southeast in Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, and Wilmington (Wilmington, NC, is one of 5 most vulnerable cities to hurricanes in the US, along with Miami Beach!), all of which usually evacuate during hurricanes. New Bern doesn't have to evacuate; on the contrary, many of the coastal folks come here. Even Greenville, NC, to the north floods extensively due to the narrowness of the rivers there. Our easy access to water without the headaches is a big reason for our huge influx of folks from Florida. (People who move here from Florida are called "half-backs" as we're halfway back for folks with family in the northeast, but still away from the brunt of those pesky Atlantic storms.) Stop by Bob Bartram's office at the CENTURY 21 Action office at 1904 C South Glenburnie Road and ask for Bob Bartram. He'll be happy to give you a map of the New Bern area and arrange to see some homes.
