Founded by John Tyrant Patrick, the founder of both Southern Pines and Chimney Rock, NC,  Pinebluff was originally envisioned as a similarly busy winter resort.  Even the avenue names, such as Philadelphia and Boston, were part of that design given to make these winter tourists feel at home in the fair-weathered paradise.  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 the Pinebluff Lake, which offers a solid recreational program including swimming and fishing as well as athletic fields and playgrounds.
