The Town - New Bern, NC

Carolina Colours brings to life the very best of small Carolina towns, past, present and future. A mere thirty miles inland, the waters of the Trent and Neuse Rivers converge to surround the vibrant historic waterfront town of New Bern. Prized as North Carolina's first state capital, New Bern's convenient maritime location provides safe harbor and convenient access to coastal rivers, sounds and the Atlantic Ocean. Daily cares float downstream past New Bern's piers, marinas and riverfront parks. Tall, towering church steeples and clock towers stretch skyward. Crisp white sails flutter in the coastal breeze. The mind and body leisurely wander New Bern's cobblestone sidewalks past quaint boutiques, antique shops, and delightful cafes. Historic homes and gardens are just a short stroll away. Regional recreational opportunities abound – sailing, fishing, golfing and strolling the Atlantic seashores.

The Community – Carolina Colours

Plans for the Carolina Colours Retail Towne Centre offer a welcome return to the traditional conveniences of Main Street shopping. The Social Pavilion, architecturally reminiscent of a traditional southern coastal retreat, anxiously awaits your arrival. Carolina Lake and Towne Lawn, great outdoor gathering places, are near completion. The Activity Campus will include modern and traditional amenities – golf, fitness, swimming, tennis, walking paths and yes, even rocking chairs on the porches for all to enjoy. Golf play is scheduled to begin in Summer 2010.

The Neighborhoods

Residential neighborhoods are many, ranging from spacious estate home sites for those who prefer the great outdoors to petit home sites for those wishing to minimize the lawn care experience. The Carolina Commons neighborhood is a true, New Urbanism, Neo-Traditional neighborhood complete with gazebos, fountains and sidewalks leading to lakefront parks. Bayberry Park, the newest neighborhood to arrive on the market, features comfortable, affordable homes on small home sites with side-walked streets leading to natural parks and playgrounds.
