Living In Our Area
Pinehurst is situated in southern Moore County, 70 miles south of Raleigh and 90 miles west of Charlotte.
Beyond geography, it is the serene quality of life that has drawn families for generations to our region. Developed first as a health resort by James Walker Tufts, nearly 220,000 trees were planted among native pines in the late 19th century, offering year-round blooms and an evergreen environment. The result is a walkable community where the air is still crisp and stars can still be seen at night.
While most are drawn to world-renowned Pinehurst Resort, the neighborhoods in the Village of Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen and beyond offer community living in a wide price range. Ask about areas where young families, retirees, second home purchases, horse farms to lakeside living, farmlad to golf course living are most known, and you’ll be on your way to finding a home just right for you.
Community Resources
