Why do we love living in New Bern?

Posted by Drake Bratton on Friday, November 13th, 2009 at 7:48am.

I have been contemplating the first submission for our Coldwell Banker Willis-Smith blog.  Why do we love living in New Bern? The answer is around us every day. I believe New Bern is a unique community peppered with advantages over competing towns and cities. Full disclosure would dictate that I am a New Bern native and biased toward my hometown.  But I choose to live here.  Looking out the window in early November at a sunny 68 degree afternoon with a fantastic orange sunset over the river, one can appreciate how lucky we are.  Potential clients tell me weekly how much the Southern hospitality of our area takes them by surprise. It is only later in our conversation they hear of our diverse market with retirement, military, industry and tourism as a stable foundation and economic driver.  Four full seasons including the occasional snow has advantages not found just a hundred miles south. Outdoor recreation happens all year, not just the 'seasonal months'. Housing is diverse. One may find historic homes, waterfront condos, suburban neighborhoods and rural mini farms all within a fifteen minute drive from the city center. There a lot of great reasons to call New Bern home, but you should plan to find out for yourself and not take a native's word for it!
