Alma Farms Jacksonville NC Neighborhood Guide

Alma Farms is a residential neighborhood in the southeastern Jacksonville area off Waters Road, with access from Piney Green Road by way of Old 30 Road. The subdivision is centered on Robert Alan Drive and Garrett Drive, placing it near the Piney Green corridor and close to established Onslow County school campuses including Morton Elementary on Old 30 Road and White Oak High on Piney Green Road.

Development and history

Alma Farms is a newer Jacksonville-area subdivision that took shape mainly in the late 2010s. Property records and listing data in the neighborhood show homes built in 2017 and 2018, which gives Alma Farms a much more recent housing profile than many of Jacksonville’s older in-town neighborhoods.

Homes and architectural style

Alma Farms is made up primarily of single-family homes. The neighborhood’s available property records show mostly three-bedroom plans with two to two-and-a-half baths, square footage commonly running from the mid-1,600s to just under 2,000 square feet, attached two-car garages, and one- and two-story layouts. Lot sizes in the examples available through current records cluster around a quarter acre to just under three-tenths of an acre, and at least some homes are served by septic systems.

The neighborhood today

Today, Alma Farms presents as a small, modern resale neighborhood with a consistent subdivision layout and a newer-home look. Streets are paved, community records show an HOA is in place, and the housing stock is more uniform than in older Jacksonville neighborhoods that developed over several decades.

PCS and location context

For PCS moves, Alma Farms offers a practical southeastern Jacksonville location. Camp Lejeune’s main entrance is just east of Jacksonville off Highway 24, while the Piney Green gate provides another access point on the southeast side of the base. MCAS New River’s main gate is on Curtis Road, and the air station sits south of downtown Jacksonville on Highway 17. From Alma Farms, the usual route into Jacksonville’s larger road network starts with Piney Green Road and then connects outward depending on the gate and installation involved.

Real estate perspective

Alma Farms fits buyers who want a newer Jacksonville-area home in a neighborhood made up primarily of detached houses rather than a mix of townhomes, older ranch homes, and infill construction. The subdivision’s late-2010s build dates, consistent lot pattern, and common three-bedroom floor plans make it a straightforward comparison point for other newer neighborhoods in the Piney Green and southeast Jacksonville market. For sellers, that also means condition, upgrades, and lot position tend to matter more than wide swings in age or housing type.

Key takeaways

Alma Farms is a newer single-family neighborhood off Waters Road in the southeast Jacksonville area. Most homes date to the late 2010s, with practical access to Piney Green Road, Camp Lejeune routes, and MCAS New River. The neighborhood’s housing stock is relatively consistent in age, size range, and subdivision layout.
