Golf, Golf and more Golf. This is one of the reasons why Pinehurst is facing a residential boom. Not too many years ago the majority of people moving to Pinehurst were retirees. But now the southern charm and exceptional quality of life is attracting families who want to escape the cold of the north, and urban congestion in such states as New York, Maryland and New Jersey to name a few.
There are a number of factors that attract people to this area. As mentioned above, there is world class golf, and it just does not get any better than Pinehurst. For avid golfers, you’ll think you died and went to heaven. The Sandhills is packed with more than 40 golf courses within a 15-mile radius; about one golf hole per 100 residents. Pinehurst is renowned for their golf courses!
The ability to golf throughout the year has brought both residents and travelers to the Sandhills and surrounding areas such as, Southern Pines, Aberdeen and Seven Lakes. Lovers of the game have found the great climate and incredible variety of courses to be an intoxicating mixture.
When you enter the Old Town of Pinehurst you feel like you just went back 100 years. The combination of quaint shops and historical hotels, makes the old town a favorite destination for both tourist and residents. Through meticulous maintenance and restoration, nearly all of the Pinehurst's original cottages remain. While the original ambiance of "Old Town Pinehurst" has been retained, the village has grown and offers numerous shopping centers and fine dining.
When visitors discover the cost of real estate in Pinehurst and the surrounding areas, they are in disbelief. What would buy a small ranch in New York or Maryland can get you a 4 bedroom house, 3 bath house overlooking a golf course. In fact, the area is overrun with golf front residential neighborhoods. With all the golf courses in Pinehurst and the surrounding areas, you’ll find an abundance of outstanding golf properties on fairways. And if you don't live on a fairway in Pinehurst, you are a short golf cart drive from one. Lots and home sites for new construction are available throughout the area and continue to grow.
In addition to the great real estate values, you’ll find the property taxes are a fraction of what folks in New York, Maryland and New Jersey are currently paying. Combine that with quality schools and some of the best medical facilities in the southeast, and you have an “Eden in the Pines.”
If you are tired of the bumper to bumper traffic and snow plows in the winter, and you are considering a move to the south, you owe it to yourself to check out the Pinehurst area.
