Your First Year at Brice Pointe: A Season-by-Season Preview
What might your first year at Brice Pointe look like? Picture all four seasons filled with waterfront views, new friendships, favorite traditions and plenty of reasons to get outside and explore. With a maintenance-free lifestyle at home and historic New Bern just minutes away, every season brings something new to enjoy.
Spring: Everything in bloom
Spring in New Bern invites you outdoors. Start the morning with coffee overlooking Carolina Lake, then follow the sunshine wherever it leads. Walking and biking trails at Brice Pointe will make it easy to add fresh air to your daily routine, while nearby New Bern offers even more to explore.
At Tryon Palace, for instance, spring brings beautifully landscaped gardens to life, creating a colorful backdrop for a leisurely stroll through one of North Carolina’s most historic destinations.
Downtown, you might spend an afternoon browsing boutiques and galleries or meet friends for lunch before walking along the waterfront.
Summer: Life on the water
When summer arrives, New Bern’s location at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent rivers takes center stage. Head to Union Point Park for an early-morning walk or fishing along the waterfront. Take a boat out for the afternoon or enjoy a sunset cruise as the day cools down.
Closer to home, Carolina Lake will provide a beautiful setting for everyday life at Brice Pointe. With maintenance and yardwork taken care of, you’ll have more freedom to make the most of long summer days — whether that means staying active, gathering with neighbors or simply relaxing by the water.
Autumn: Festivals, fresh air and fun
Cooler temperatures signal the coming of one of New Bern’s signature events: MumFest, when the historic downtown comes alive with entertainment, food, vendors and festivities to celebrate fall’s favorite flower.
It’s also an ideal season to explore the area on foot or by bike. Take in the changing scenery along the East Coast Greenway, enjoy a round of golf at next-door Carolina Colours Golf Club or spend a crisp afternoon discovering another corner of your new hometown.
Winter: Celebrate the season
Winter offers its own mix of cozy comforts and festive traditions. At Brice Pointe, imagine filling your calendar with lectures, art classes, fitness and wellness programs, dinners with friends and other activities just steps from home.
Community life bursts with opportunities and activities.
Beyond the expansive campus, New Bern embraces the holidays with seasonal events throughout its historic downtown. Watch decorated boats illuminate the Trent and Neuse rivers during the Coastal Christmas Flotilla, explore holiday shopping and events, or welcome another year during New Bern’s New Year’s Eve festivities.
Before you know it, spring will be returning — and you’ll have a year of new memories behind you.
