We visited Swansboro yesterday, now we're moving on down the road into Hubert, N C. in Onslow County, N C. It is very difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. Hubert has a post office but no downtown, it is more of a residential community with small, mostly locally owned businesses located primarily along Highway 24 otherwise known as Freedom's Way(so named because this is the route the marines travel back to their home base when returning from overseas conflicts and duties). There are still a few small farms in the area with their roadside stands offering their vegetables, fruit, flowers and homemade goodies during the appropriate seasons.
There are several marvelous neighborhoods and the range of house price and size is very broad. One of the most notable and desirable neighborhoods is Kingsbridge on Queens Creek marketed by Kingsbridge Realty, Inc. As the name implies, it is located on Queens Creek
and what a lovely setting it is. The newer section of this neighborhood feature many large waterfront homes with a picturesque view of the creek. There is water and boat access for the residents and a boathouse is also under construction for their use and enjoyment. A new section is due to open within the next 60 days with waterfront and water view home sites available.
Residents of Hubert are very fortunate in that they are located in one of the most desirable
Onslow County School districts. Many people elect to live in the area just so their children can attend the schools here. Hubert has a diverse population with many retirees, military families, and transplants as well as long time residents. The location is convenient to Camp LeJeune Marine base in Jacksonville with the back gate about a 10 minute drive away. Jacksonville is a short, painless drive from Hubert where the shopping, banking, airport and interstate access is quick and easy. Residents enjoy the relaxed lifestyle Hubert provides while its location offers recreational opportunities such as the area beaches and waterways with outstanding fishing and boating. The North Carolina Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores is about 30 minutes away, here families can spend many educational and entertaining hours learning about the From Pine Knoll Shores to Atlantic Beach is another approximately 10 minutes where Fort Macon State Park, one of the most visited state parks in the U.S., is located.
Hubert, N C is a lovely community--if you will be relocating to this area, this is definitely an area you will want to visit.
