Historic Downtown New Bern

Real Estate with Real Charm

The Blades mansion is located on Johnson Street in downtown New Bern. This elaborate Queen Anne House was designed by renowned architect Herbert Simpson for lumber magnate William B. Blades. It combines elements of Queen Anne and Greek Revival, making it one of the most elegant mansions in New Bern.

 

 Downtown New Bern is one of the finest historic districts in the nation. Comprised of beautiful historic homes dating back to the late 1700s and early 1800s, some are incredible to say the least. There are the large and palatial ones with beautiful garden areas; then there are the neat bungalows, perfectly manicured as well as historic condos and town homes. Some areas of downtown are multi-zoned, allowing for residential and commercial uses.

In several locations historic homes have been converted to small shops on ground floors with living quarters on the second and third floors. Other sections are strictly residential.

Downtown is alive with fashionable shops, upscale restaurants, Tryon Palace, art shops, antiques, crafts and clothing shops, gourmet coffee shops, several excellent civic theatres, and more. And all are within walking distance! The Neuse and Trent Rivers converge downtown, creating a picturesque scenery of boats, fowl, and lazy fishermen. Stroll along the river walk and admire some of the beautiful Hatteras Yachts which are  made right here in New Bern, NC.

Ghent

A Classic New Bern Neighborhood

From stylish bungalows

To stately mansions

This is the newest of New Bern's three historic districts.  Admission to the National Register occurred in 1983. Ghent contains private homes dating from 1913 to World War II. The area encompasses Spencer, Rhem, and parts of Park Avenues. It began as a trolley car suburb in the days when working folks wanted homes away from the hustle and bustle of downtown New Bern. Having grown up in Ghent, I know this subdivision quite well. in this area quite well.

Today, Spencer Avenue, the main street in Ghent, is considered one of the landmark streets in New Bern, with old-fashioned street lamps positioned along a landscaped median separating two lanes of traffic. In the 1920s and 1930s, a trolley car ran where the median is now located, taking passengers from one end of town to the other. Wouldn't it be great to see the trolley be brought back to life. Large flowering fruit trees are breathtakingly beautiful in April.

Ghent is an energetic, people-oriented neighborhood where residents take to the sidewalks whenever weather permits, which is quite often in New Bern. In the 1960's and 1970's many families left the Ghent area and moved out to the suburbs. As a result the neighborhood started to decline and many homes in Ghent fell into disrepair.

In recent years Ghent has become a fashionable neighborhood for homeowners looking for a convenient location and larger classic homes. Bungalow and cottage-style homes with neat lawns make up a large part of the Ghent neighborhood. Some homes feature antebellum column fronts, and many have open or screened porches for inviting warm summer evenings.

Ghent is close to one of the area's nicest amenities, the new YMCA, which includes a Jr. Olympic-sized swimming pool, a gymnasium, weight rooms and a racquetball court. The "Y" also offers day care and supervised exercise classes. Gent is also fortunate to be situated between Fort Totten Park, which has a baseball field with bleachers, swings and other park equipment for children, and the larger Lawson Creek Park, a popular fishing spot with nature trails, boat launches, several soccer fields, and picnic tables. Both parks are within walking distance of Ghent.

 Halloween is a special treat for those living in Ghent. Talk about fun. I think half the folks in New Bern take their kids trick or treating at Ghent as the wide sidewalks and high porches make trick or treating fun again even for adults.

Homes here are priced from $160,000-$300,000. Some have been modernized but many will require some upgrading. So for the handy man or woman this is a fine place to live. Ask my sister, she loves it there.


DeGraffenried

Homes of Distinction in a southern setting

This distinguished neighborhood lies one block north of the Ghent Historical DistrictClassy homes and beautiful gomes abound in this New Bern neighborhood. Homes here are generally large and well-placed on spacious, beautifully landscaped lots. DeGraffenreid was once New Bern's most prestigious subdivision to live and a quick drive through will explain why. Gorgeous dogwoods and azaleas abound throughout the area and create a spectacular  fireworks of flora in the springtime.

Sidewalks invite neighborhood walks and interaction with neighbors and streets carry names such as Queen Ann Lane and Lucerne Way. Many of the more notable residences are stately two-story brick dwellings with dignified Federal features. Brick walls and wrought-iron fences embellish many of the houses. Expect to pay between $220,000 and $400,000 for homes in this classy neighborhood.DeGraffenreid is a classic New Bern neighborhood

As with Ghent, DeGraffenfied is within walking distance of Fort Totten Park and Lawson Creek Park. A short 5 minute bicycle trip will have you in historic New Bern. I have many fond memories of Ghent and DeGraffenfied and take it from me, both are great places to live.


Riverside

The Riverside subdivision offers convenience and affordability

An old-style neighborhood with Timeless Appeal.

 

Riverside is also on the national register of historic places. Riverside is comprised of National Avenue and the areas east all the way to the Neuse River. Riverside is located only a few blocks from downtown New Bern and the many activities that occur in this area.

Development of the Riverside subdivision began in the late 1890s in response to the lumber industry. At one time the lumber business flourished along the Neuse River in the Riverside area. Logs were floated down the Neuse River to the many lumber mills located in the area.

Riverside was originally a mixed-use community of residential buildings and commercial enterprises. People wanted to live close to where they worked. The trolley car in New Bern ran from the end of Spencer Avenue through downtown and then on to Riverside.

In the 1960's as many lumber mills closed and ceased to be as economically important in New Bern, many homes in the Riverside area fell into disrepair. The result was a neighborhood in decline where beautifully refurbished homes and rundown buildings stood side-by-side.

Fortunately both the city of New Bern and the Preservation Foundation took measures to restore this once handsome community to its original glory. Many of Riverside's larger homes were built between 1896 and World War II, so there is a pleasant mix of architectural styles in the neighborhood. On National Avenue, high-peaked, two-story Victorian structures with wrap-around porches and plenty of shade trees are situated away from the road.

Cute bungalows abound in the Riverside neighborhood  On the cross streets, perpendicular to National Avenue and the Neuse River, are rows of tidy bungalows such as the homes on the left and below.


Riverside is a neighborhood that offers convenience and affordable.


Homes along the River Drive waterfront are of an entirely different character. Here you will find pretty brick ranch dwellings on small lots with plenty of trees and meticulous landscaping. Real estate prices vary widely, with some of the older bungalows in the $150,000 up to the $500,000 for those on the Neuse River. For those inclined to get their hands a little dirty. On occasion you can find a fixer upper for $50,000 or so.

Give me a call if you want to see this classy neighborhood. I am available most any day.

 


Trent Woods

Location-Location-Location 

This mature neighborhood lies between New Bern and the Trent River. One of New Bern's most desirable locations, it is only a few minutes away from shopping and most of the amenities offered in the area.

Trent Wood's is now an incorporated town. Although only a few miles from historic downtown New Bern, Trent Woods was once considered to be out in the country and other than a few scattered homes it consisted mostly of small farms. Now its assorted neighborhoods contain some of the ritziest homes in New Bern. Trent Woods is served by two Elementary Schools and both are considered desirable.

Trent Wood's is comprised of numerous neighborhoods that have developed since the 1960's. Manning Park, Holly Hills, Chelsea, Trent Shores and Ward Point are on the Trent River. Others, such Creeks Ends and Edgewood, are along Wilson's Creek. The three Haywood Creek subdivisions line the banks of Haywood's Creek.

Many of the homes in Trent Woods are large, with two and three stories, and usually have attached or detached two-car garages. Lots are mostly spacious, wooded and impeccably landscaped, often with towering trees draped in Spanish moss. If you drive through Trent Woods in the spring, you'll find a stunning display of flowering trees and shrubs.

In addition to the New Bern Golf and Country Club, see my links of interest, the area boasts other amenities such as the Eastern Carolina Yacht Club. Real estate prices in Trent Woods start around $200,000. Waterfront houses range from $550,000 for creek-front properties to well in excess of $1 million for waterfront.

Only a couple of minutes from the Riverbend Golf Course, tennis courts, and a new marina, Deer field subdivision was developed in the early 1990's so the homes have many of the amenities that buyers expect today. The winding roads keep the traffic speed down and allows for safe walking and biking.

Fairfield Harbour

Boating-fishing-Golfing-Tennis-biking

Fairfield Harbour from the air

This expansive, gated community is located across the Neuse River about 15 minutes from downtown New Bern. Fairfield Harbour is a 3,000-acre resort development featuring waterfront, golf course, and interior homes.

Northwest Creek flows through the back side of Fairfield Harbour allowing for the option of having a home or home site on a natural waterway. Northwest Creek is deep enough for larger boats and is a naturally protected harbour. The Fairfield Harbour canal system provides hundreds of homes and home sites with protected deep water access to the mighty Neuse River. Sailors and motor boaters love this neighborhood because of its easy access to the Neuse River and the Intra-coastal Waterway. Fairfield Harbour has 4 marinas with over 450 slips, one indoor and two outdoor pools, nine tennis courts, four of which are lighted.

Golfers also find Fairfield Harbour an attractive place to call home. The Harbor Pointe golf course is both challenging and fun. Tennis, walking, fishing, bicycling are other ways to have fun and stay in shape.

  Fairfield Harbour is unusual in that it is a combination of mostly single-family homes, with some condominiums, townhouses and timeshare condos added for good measure. In general, home prices start in the $175,000 and go up to about $550,000, depending upon proximity to the water. Home sites are among the most reasonable in the area and many folks choose to buy a lot and build their own home.

Condominiums and townhouses at Fairfield Harbour are arranged around small man-made lakes within the community. Winding paths and roads connect all locations, and the combination of layout and landscaping gives a feeling of privacy.

To me what makes Fairfield Harbour such a great neighborhood to live in is the incredible amount of clubs and organizations within the community. The Harbour's combination of year-round residents and vacationers requires that a wide variety of activities be readily available. Established community activities are too numerous to list but include such interests as men's and women's golf associations, a chorus, quilting, weaving, swimnastics, gardening, drama, book, bridge, RV, tennis and yacht clubs. Fairfield Harbour residents contribute more than any other community to the non profit organizations in the New Bern area.

Call Fairfield Harbour expert, yours truly, for additional information. My uncle was the original developer of Fairfield Harbour over 35 years ago and I have been selling homes here since 1978. For more information on FFH click the link below.

Excellent architectural planning has effectively blended a variety of home styles into a delightful community.

At 7000 yards from the back tees he made the game look short and easy.

Olde Towne Harbour

Old Town is a popular neighborhood located within minutes to everything

This is one of the nicest mature subdivisions in New Bern. Located adjacent to Trent Woods and just minutes from the downtown historic district Old Towne is convenient to the shopping centers on Highway 17. Olde Towne Harbour offers quiet seclusion in a lovely, natural setting. when I was a kid Old Town was called J.C. Park, owned by the local Junior Civitans who let area kids use the water access on the Trent River.

In addition to reasonable priced interior homes Old Towne offers homes and condominiums that front the Trent River allowing owners water access and beautiful views. Many of the homes in this subdivision are on the man made harbour that was created when a canal was cut in from the Trent River. These homes also have deep protected water allowing you to keep a large boat in your back yard. From your back door you can boat to downtown New Bern in a matter of a few minutes.

Homes prices range from $275,000 for an interior home to $800,000 for one of the larger homes located on the canal or harbour. As with many of the other communities in New Bern this subdivision appeals to working professionals as well as retirees.



Forest Hills

Exquisite in the Spring

 

My favorite neighborhood

Forrest Hills is almost an enchanted area at least in my opinion. But perhaps I am more than a little prejudice. My folks built the second house in Forest Hills in the early 60's. At that time Forest Hills was not even in New Bern's city limits. It was great growing up there as a boy with his dog and a bb gun was all I needed to keep me happy..

Located just a few blocks from Craven Regional Hospital Forest Hills is arguably as convenient a location as any area in New Bern. 

Here you will find homes built from the early 60's to the late 60's. The lots are larger, around 1/2 acre, and the mature yards explode in breathtaking views during the spring as the azaleas and dogwoods show their incredible, albeit short lived, splendor. There are quite a few pecan trees in Forest Hills and as a kid I would get $1 for a large paper grocery bag full. Seemed like a lot of money back then.

You will find exceptional, in my opinion, real estate values here. Often you can get 2000-2200 square feet for under $200,000. Yes the homes are older, but many have been updated. Please let me show you this subdivision, I enjoy just riding through Forrest Hills and I bet you will as well.


Lake Clermont

A convenient and affordable choice

This delightfully convenient subdivision is located just minutes from downtown New Bern, but is not in the city limits. Lake Clermont is a large 55 acre man made lake with around 65 homes carefully woven around and on the lake.

Also located close by are the Croatan National Forrest and the Brice's Creek boat launch. Mid town and downtown New Bern is a 7 minute drive.

 Interior home prices start around $235,000.00 and lakefront homes start around $375,000.00. Home prices are generally considered reasonable for this desirable subdivision.


Brice's Creek

Enchanted Forest and Deep Waters

The Brice's Creek area lies on the south side of the Trent River. The area is bordered by the 150,000 acre Croatan National Forest  and the enchanting Brices Creek. Brices Creek is a long, deep, creek that begins in the Croatan Forrest and flows through Carolina Colors and Taberna before making its way into the Trent River. From the mouth of Brices Creek it is about 1.5 miles to downtown New Bern. By car it takes about 10-15 minutes to get to shopping in New Bern.

 Over the past 25 years this area has been one of the most popular areas in Craven County for younger families. Large lots, excellent elementary school, reasonable home prices, and accessible water are just some of the reason why. The hub of this area is Merchant's store, a local country store that carries just about everything under the sun. Here you can catch up on all the local gossip, buy your fishing worms, or order a cheeseburger.

A number of subdivisions exist in Brices Creek, including, Snug Harbor, Oakview, Deer Run, River Trace, Rock Creek, and Hunter's Ridge. This area is growing rapidly because of its quick commute to downtown New Bern and easy access to Highway 70 E. There are also a number of creek front and riverfront homes, most with deep water, in Brice's Creek.

You can't go wrong buying a home in this area. Home prices off the water range from $215,000-$450,000. Creek front homes starts around $400,000. My wife and I live in this area and are familiar with the many different neighborhoods.
