The Town of River Bend,  North Carolina

River Bend is a town on the southern border of New Bern.  About 1200 homes wind among lakes and canals. Many of the homesites have water frontage and private boat slips on the Trent River and it's lnlets. Interestingly enough the land was originally owned by the Odd Fellows, a fraternal group of black tenant farmers raising tobacco. 

During the recession of 1914, they lost the land. In 1965, a real estate speculator recognized the area’s potential as a retirement development. 

River Bend was the first big development in New Bern and opened the potential of this beautiful area.  Lots of retirees  live in River Bend; with an equal number of young families. Homes are both aging and brand new.  You can often find a great fixer-upper in River Bend.          

River Bend Golf Course continues to improve, and two years ago was rated by Golf Digest as a 3 star. Tennis, swimming, a municipal building, baseball field, docks and playground makes it desirable for all  families.

Townhomes, condos, and single family homes are available. Prices range is between $90,000 and -----way up,  for the newest waterfront homes. Check out River Bend's own web site for a close-up.
