You have a variety of places to live when stationed at MCAS Cherry Point, NC. Located on the Neuse River in North Carolina, you can find homes next to the ocean, the base, or inland in New Bern.
New Bern is most like the suburban life you may already know, with your chain stores and restaurants along with the option to live in a comfortable neighborhood or have some space on a little plot of land.
What sets living in New Bern apart from living near the beach is the price tag on the house you want. Just as you’ll find near any coastal city, the further you get from the ocean, the more house you get for your money.
So if beach life isn’t a high priority to you, but having a little space from the base is, then New Bern is your best option. Let's take a tour of three New Bern homes for sale under $300,000.
This gorgeous home located in Carolina Pines is full of charm. It has an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, built-ins, a fireplace, catwalk, large spaces to entertain, and lots of natural light.
As you make your way into the kitchen, you’ll notice how spacious it is, along with the stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, custom birch cabinets, a breakfast bar, and eat-in area.
You’ll be blown away by the huge master suite that features tray ceilings and new carpet. The bathroom features a jetted tub, stand-up shower, and his and her closets.
