Home Construction Progress

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

As significant development work continues in the Fairway Crossing neighborhood of Rivers Edge, so is home construction throughout the community. Three new homes are currently under construction, with several more in the design process.  The Strunk residence is taking shape beautifully with recently installed siding and roofing, and it will be ready for “hard hat tours” during our Summer Homecoming Celebration on July 24th. You can be among the first to walk through this home and others under construction.

Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Just bumped into this video from a few years ago and thought it was worth sharing.  The producers of the video wrote:  “This Arnold Palmer signature design has become one of the most highly acclaimed courses in the Carolinas.  Ranked among ‘America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses’ in 2005 by Golf Digest, Rivers Edge is situated along breathtaking bluffs overlooking the Shallotte River.  In 2003, Golf Digest ranked it in the ‘Top 20 Courses in North Carolina’ and awarded it 4.5 STARS in their guide to ‘Places to Play in America’.  Also GolfWeek ranked it #5 in North Carolina.  Exceptional design, condition and service add to the enjoyment of playing at Rivers Edge.”

The Shallotte Farmer’s Market offers different selections each week as the variety of produce comes in and out of its growing season. Some of the products you will find there include fresh vegetables, fruits, berries, arts and crafts, flowers, plants, eggs, seafood, and baked goods. All items at the market are produced locally by the person selling it. Customers can talk directly with the farmers, artists, growers and crafters to ask any questions they may have.
