Living in Pinehurst, North Carolina

Nestled in the heart of the North Carolina Sandhills, Pinehurst is a destination where tradition, elegance, and Southern charm converge. Best known as the Home of American Golf, Pinehurst is much more than a championship fairway—it's a lifestyle defined by historic architecture, tree-lined streets, and a refined, close-knit community.

From the iconic Pinehurst Resort—host of multiple U.S. Opens and future home of the USGA—to private golf communities like Forest Creek and Pinewild, this village is a haven for golf lovers and those seeking a sophisticated, slower pace of life. The timeless appeal of Pinehurst lies in its balance: luxurious estates, quaint cottages, and modern new builds all exist within a community that values tradition, hospitality, and quality of life.

Beyond the greens, residents enjoy a walkable downtown filled with locally owned shops, upscale dining, farmers' markets, and cultural events. The village is also home to equestrian facilities, top-rated schools, and a strong sense of civic pride—making it ideal for full-time residents, second-homeowners, and retirees alike.

Pinehurst’s central location offers both privacy and accessibility—just over an hour to Raleigh-Durham and under two hours to the coast—making it a smart investment for those looking to balance luxury living with long-term value.

At The McKinney Group, we understand the nuance and prestige of selling and buying in Pinehurst.
