Craven County, North Carolina
Craven County sits at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent rivers, anchored by New Bern's historic waterfront downtown and by Havelock, home to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. The base's roughly $2 billion annual economic impact and steady military housing turnover drive rental and resale demand, while flood zones and CAMA coastal rules around the rivers shape where new subdivisions can be platted.
