Founded by John Tyrant Patrick the founder of both Southern Pines and Chimney Rock, NC.  Pinebluuf was originally envisioned as a similiarly busy winter resort.  Even the avenue names were part of that design; names like Philadelphia and Boston were given to make these winter tourists feel at home.  Streets were constructed with larger than average rights-of-way and named after fruits and nuts, evoking a tranquil pace.  The result is a lovely and peaceful residential community with a high quality of life.  Pinebluff draws residents from all walks and stages of life, but its proximity to Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base make it a great commute for military personnel.  Community activities center around Pinebluff Lake, which offers a solid recreational program including swimming and fishing as well as athletic fields and playgrounds.
