The Community

Pinebrae Retirement Community is an adult community located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. We are midway between New York and Sarasota, Florida; as well as halfway between Detroit, Michigan and Sarasota. An ideal location for retirees who wish to relocate within a day's drive of family and friends.

Although a small community, Pinebrae offers a variety of housing styles, with shopping, banking and medical services all within five minutes of Pinebrae.

Trees, vegetation and wildlife are protected for your enjoyment and each home is so located on its lot to compliment the natural setting. Reasonable restrictions are in force to protect your privacy and the aesthetic quality of the subdivision --- and all of it at a price that fits nicely with retirement budgets.
