NEW CONSTRUCTION: Going to build your dream home?  Or are you a developer looking for land to build your newest project? We can match you up with the right land and people to get the job done. We have several builders that we think will give the best in value and service to our customers.   As a member of the New Bern Home Builders Association, Bob Bartram knows all the best builders in the area and whom to recommend for a particular type of project. Two of the best in town are Jennings Outlaw Construction and Monnier Custom Homes, New Bern's 2005 Builder of the Year. Check them out at the end of the lots section.

We think New Bern is a great place to call home, and many folks around the country seem to agree as they are moving here from all over the US around the world for our great climate, laid back lifestyle, "home town" friendliness and feel, and easier drive for visits to and from friends and relatives up north or further south. Like many who choose New Bern relocation or to retire in NC here, most of us end up getting involved in the community and pursuing fun hobbies after either initially retiring from jobs up north, being transferred here for civilian job or military transfer to a local military base, or simply moving here to find a better life for their family. 

We are overwhelmed with all the press we're getting: both Time Magazine and the Today Show have named New Bern, NC as one of the top five retirement spots in the United States (click to read article)!! "Where To Retire" magazine regularly features New Bern as a great place to live and retire.  We are no longer that "undiscovered haven".  A haven, yes, but now we do have a 15-20 car traffic jam at 4pm ;-)   

New Bern is once again becoming a focus for community and cultural events throughout the region.
