What people are saying about New Bern | |
Are you f... kidding me? | |
Yes there is some money there, but who are you kidding? The crime is unbearable, \"Historic New Bern\"? Have you ever been there? Its a ghetto with beat up houses, big wheel cars, and shootings every week! It might be a paradise for drug dealers, but I would never retire there, I rather die before retirement. The roads suck, hotels are overpriced and dirty, and there is not one good restaurant in New Bern. Even chains are pulling out. I have traveled the world as a young person, I\'ve seen it all! And let me tell you something: Within the US, New Bern is my least favorite place! | |

i would agree with part of what youngatheart says about New Bern - it is near the water and it is affordable. But after visiting there and then Chapel Hill-Durham, there is no comparison for me. The latter has a LOT to do with the University and all of the exciting things that it attracts. New Bern on the other hand, is a very small and very cute town. If you like quiet or you like boating, go to New Bern. To kick up your heels, head for the bright lights of Chapel Hill | |

New Bern great for active adults | |
I run into a lot of people who have retired to New Bern. There is a lot to do and tons of active adult communities. It's close to the water but not too close. A great low cost place that's affordable. Check it out, it doesnt have the reputation of some other towns but has just as much to offer. Average home on zillow goes for about $215,000. | |
