Riverside Historic District of New Bern, North Carolina

Once an elegant area with very large houses,  this section is now a historic district, and restored and newly researched homes homes are quickly being added to the National Register. 

Riverside is a very mixed neighborhood where some homes in desperate need of repair stand next to an already restored gem.

National Avenue is the main street bordering the section listed in the National Register. The area includes National Avenue and the section east of it extending to the Neuse River. It was home to the lumber barons in late 1800's.

In the neighborhood is the National Cemetery with gravesites dating to the Indian Wars.

It has organized with a vibrant preservation group and working hard to begin restoration on a major scale.  The Christmas Tour of Homes is a new addition. 

The transition area between the Downtown Historic and this area is undergoing rehab --as we speak.  Huge fertilizer factory on the Neuse River is coming down to make way for an upscale community.

Prices range considerably less than the downtown historic areas. Smaller bungalows can go for $90,000's. Restored historic properties start at about $400,000.
