Pinehurst:
Steeped in Tradition
When people who love golf think about where to spend the next chapter of their lives, Pinehurst comes up again and again. Not because it's trending, but because it's authentic.
This is the Home of American Golf®—a place where history runs deep, where 40+ courses sit within a 15-mile radius, and where you can build a life centered around golf without the crowds.
You're two hours from the mountains, two hours from the coast, and 90 minutes from an international airport. But once you're here, you won't feel the need to leave.

Golf Tradition
When you tell someone you live in Pinehurst, they know what that means.
This is where Donald Ross shaped American golf course architecture. Where the U.S. Open has been held four times—and will return again. Where the USGA chose to build their Golf House, cementing this as the spiritual home of the game in America.
The golf credibility is unmatched. When you choose to live here, you're choosing to be part of that tradition and a rhythm of life that feels intentional, not rushed.
Small-Town Charm
Pinehurst and Southern Pines aren't trying to be Charlotte or Raleigh, and that's exactly why people choose them.
The walkable Village of Pinehurst has its charm—Southern hospitality, locally owned restaurants, pubs, coffee and wine shops, and boutiques tucked between historic cottages.
Southern Pines, just minutes from Forest Creek, offers a mix of bookstores, specialty shops, small galleries, cafes, and distilleries. Seek refined dinner options, explore the historic train station, and connect with the area’s nature preserve and equestrian roots.
Explore farmer’s markets on summer weekends, pottery studios in Seagrove nearby, the Sunrise Theater hosting live performances, and Cameron's Antique Festival. These are the textures that make the area feel like home the moment you arrive.
The Raleigh-Durham airport is 90 minutes north. Charlotte is two hours west. The Outer Banks and beaches are two hours east. Asheville and the mountains are three hours west. You have access to all of it when you want it.
Healthy Living
First Health Moore Regional Hospital is here—the flagship hospital for First Health of the Carolinas, a comprehensive health network—and if you need specialized care, Duke and UNC hospitals are just over an hour away in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.
