Welcome to River Bend!
Small in size, and young in age, the Town of River Bend is living proof that great things come in small packages. Chartered in 1981, River Bend offers a variety of housing styles, with many homes offering waterfront on the Trent River and Plantation Canal, or along the fairways of the privately owned River Bend Country Club. A progressive community of approximately 3,100 residents, the Town of River Bend is a great place to visit, and even a better place to live.
We invite you to visit our community. Located in Eastern North Carolina, River Bend offers boaters the opportunity to cruise the Trent River or make your way to the Intra-coastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. Recreational opportunities including golf, hiking, fishing, biking, and beach access are within or just a short drive from the tranquility of River Bend. Just a few miles away is the historic City of New Bern, offering shopping, dining, and other amenities. Spend a little time with us and you will see why people enjoy calling River Bend their home.
