The largest nearby city is New Bern, about a 30-minute drive away. Oriental, the sailing capital of North Carolina, is about 8 miles as the crow flies. Havelock and the Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station are a ferry ride away across the Neuse River. The Neuse is over three miles wide between Arlington Place and Cherry Point. Once you’re on the other side of the Neuse Morehead City and Beaufort are less than 20 miles to the south. So Arlington Place feels a little remote, but you’re actually a short drive to a lot of interesting places.

Aside from the docks, Arlington Place boasts a clubhouse, community pool, tennis, pickleball & volleyball courts, a kayak launch, and an outfitter center. They also have several walking trails.

Directly south of Oriental is the Adams River, which leads to a channel that, 15 miles on, will deposit you on Harlowe Creek, with either Morehead City or Beaufort another 5 miles on.
