Brices Creek is an area that has seen significant growth in the past several years. This "out in the country" area is not really country anymore. Several nice developments have been implimented in this area south of James City and east of the Trent River.

Some of the neighborhoods are Snug Harbor, Hunter's Ridge, Oakview, Deer Run, Hunter's Ridge, the Homeplace, Rock Creek, Lake Clermont, Pecan Ridge and others are coming.

This area is accessable by Madame Moore's Lane and Brice's Creek Road. Brices Creek Road will carry you to Pollocksville via the "back way" if you need to get to Jacksonville a little quicker than going thru New Bern.

Brice's Creek has been the setting for a popular novel written by New Bern resident, Nickolas Sparks.

Stop by Merchant's Grocery. This is a fine example of the country store concept. They have a little bit of everything from gas to a short order grill. Dwight Merchant has owned and operated Merchant's for about 30 years.
