"Great subdivision for military families"

River Bend is a residential community that has a private golf course which was central to the Town's development. River Bend also has a navigable canal and frontage on the Trent River. Home buyers will find a wide variety of home architecture and a corresponding range of home prices in River Bend. Many first time visitors remark that they find River Bend to be a very attractive community.

Safe Golf Community Dog Park No HOA	Nothing, I love the area and its residents

"Quiet retreat from the main part of town"

River Bend was a great place to live. The website for River Bend describes it well "Small in size, and young in age, the Town of River Bend is living proof that great things come in small packages. Chartered in 1981, River Bend offers a variety of housing styles, with many homes offering waterfront on the Trent River and Plantation Canal, or along the fairways of the privately owned River Bend Country Club. A progressive community of approximately 3,100 residents, the Town of River Bend is a great place to visit, and even a better place to live." We enjoyed the quiet and friendly neighbors we had when we lived there. The townhouse we rented backed up to the water and it was a nice place to come home to and relax in after work. Utilities were cheaper then the main part of the city of New Bern as River Bend is not under the city utility company. Well maintained neighborhood and had that small town feel. The walking and fitness trails were great. Not too far from downtown New Bern and still within close distance to shopping. This is one neighborhood I truly miss living in.

Pros	Cons
Quiet Small town feel Not on city utilities Water access	outskirts of city
