This is your Waterfront.

From an invigorating morning kayak in the lake, to setting out by boat on the Cape Fear River, to a tranquil float in the healthful salt waters of the Atlantic Ocean, water is everywhere and it’s all yours. What’s your pleasure? Fishing? Searching for seaglass? Birdwatching along the river? Whether you’re in the water or having fun alongside it—horseshoes at Riverfront Park , perhaps?—you’ll love calling this waterfront wonderland home.

Choose Your Adventure.

The River

Let it inspire you.

The Bluffs’s northern boundary is a full mile of scenic, wooded riverfront. From these high bluffs that overlook the lush, rolling waters of the storied Cape Fear River, you can embrace river life at its best. Our river-centric amenities make it easy.

Riverfront Park with pavilions for sunny picnics and twilight soirées, lawn games, fire pits and more.

Stroll the scenic boardwalk to the marina. Then take you boat out for a pleasure ride or just enjoy the views from the River Park.

Crabbing, kayaking, paddleboarding, daytripping…this river is ready for your every adventure.

The Ocean

Enjoy effortless days at the sea.

Your home at The Bluffs comes with ‘keys to the sea.’ When you live at The Bluffs, you‘ll have your own Private Beach Club on Oak Island to enjoy. Just steps away from the beach, it’s a gracious locale for community gatherings or just a family day of fun.

Oak Island is one of North Carolina’s most charming and beautiful beaches. Consider it yours.

The Lake

Kayak, fish, or just gaze.

Set alongside The Bluffs Clubhouse, our glassy community lake awaits. Start your morning with an easy kayak around the banks. Drop a line from the pier with your favorite kid and try for some of the many stocked Hybrid Stripers or Largemouth Bass.

As the sun sets, head to the Clubhouse porch and raise a glass to another beautiful day at The Bluffs.
