Many factors affect the area's growth, especially the tide of retirees flowing into the greater New Bern area and the demand for housing from nearby Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station. New Bern's housing market has expanded substantially to meet the influx of new homeowners.

The city's vibrant community renaissance continues at a steady yet unhurried pace. In New Bern's four historic neighborhoods, you will still see some structures in need of repair among the beautifully restored buildings, but this is changing as Georgian, Federal and Victorian edifices are being returned to their former elegance, adding considerably to the city's charm.

Another big plus for the city is its proximity to water. Positioned where the waters of the Neuse and Trent rivers come together, New Bern is less than an hour's drive from the ocean. A moderate climate, nearby recreational waterways and challenging golf courses are added bonuses in making New Bern a popular vacation, relocation and retirement spot for people from all walks of life.

New Bern's expanding homes market offers newcomers a wide choice of neighborhoods and housing in styles and prices that are sure to appeal to any taste or income bracket. Choices include historic homes, contemporary structures, bungalows, ranch-style residences, riverfront condominiums, townhouses and building lots in ever-increasing new developments.

Because both waterfront and non-waterfront homes and lots are often within the same district, real estate values can vary widely within the same neighborhood. Prices for lots and houses quoted here are approximations and, of course, are subject to change. Our descriptions of neighborhoods will help orient you to the personality, price range and availability of New Bern housing.

If you are interested in New Bern neighborhoods, one of the most helpful guides is HOMES magazine, published by NCCoast Communications. This full-color publication contains descriptions and pictures of properties currently on the market. It's free, and you can get copies at restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, real estate firms as well as local businesses.MH 02-07-08
