Croatan
National Forest lands line the highways and waterways in Carteret County and
the maturity of the trees and shrubs provide for a naturally beautiful backdrop
for the latest housing developments in Carteret and Craven County. One of the most recently developed
neighborhoods is located off of Highway 70 in Newport. Established in 2006, Gracelyn Park is
an 84 lot subdivision for single family residences.
Centrally
located between Morehead City and Havelock, Gracelyn Park’s appeal is greatly
increased because of the convenience the location provides to schools,
shopping, dining, fishing and swimming in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Although Gracelyn Park does not
currently have any community amenities, it is within walking distance to an 11
acre district park being developed next to the school. Plans for the park when completed will
include six lighted tennis courts, a 5,000 square foot recreation center, youth
soccer fields, basketball courts, playgrounds, a walking trail and ample
parking. The completed facility
will be lighted, fully landscaped and will have restrooms and a concession
stand.
Public
services for the neighborhood consist of the Wildwood Fire Department and the
Carteret County Sheriff’s Department.
Utilities are provided by Progress Energy and Carteret County Water
District.
If
you are looking for a great new neighborhood with fabulous, reasonably-priced
homes located close to Cherry Point, the beach, shopping and dining, then
Gracelyn Park is the PERFECT place to call home.
