"Where To Retire" magazine's 2000 summer edition featured New Bern. We are an "undiscovered haven" with all the bases covered, they say. (Of course, we knew that). Time Magazine named New Bern as one of the nation's top 5 retirement spots last fall. Check out the "Calendar of Events" and "New Bern Today" to see the top news stories right now. You'll see why we're the "Southern Surprise". We have more going on here than you can shake a stick at.
