Buckhaven is a Richlands, North Carolina subdivision with single-family homes along Buckhaven Drive. Multiple major property portals identify Buckhaven as the source neighborhood for homes on Buckhaven Drive, and Community Association Services lists a Buckhaven community page with homeowner association documents. (Realtor) (Community Association Services, Inc.)
For buyers comparing Richlands neighborhoods, Buckhaven offers a more defined subdivision setting than a loose rural road corridor. It should still be evaluated property by property, especially for HOA documents, utility setup, septic details, lot size, drainage, and current resale condition.
For more context, see the Richlands area guide and Onslow County. The Jacksonville NC hub and first-time buyer guide cover inland Onslow due diligence.
What Buckhaven Feels Like
Buckhaven is best understood as an established Richlands-area subdivision with an HOA identity and neighborhood amenities. Realtor.com identifies Buckhaven HOA for 102 Buckhaven Drive, while Homes.com identifies Buckhaven HOA for 128 Buckhaven Drive and lists community pool, maintained common areas, and maintained grounds as HOA/neighborhood amenities. (Realtor) (Homes.com)
That makes Buckhaven different from many broader Richlands-area searches where a home may simply have a Richlands mailing address. Here, the neighborhood name is tied directly to multiple Buckhaven Drive property examples and HOA references.
Housing and Property Character
Available property examples show Buckhaven as a single-family detached neighborhood with homes built mainly in the 2010s and early 2020s. Zillow lists 121 Buckhaven Drive as a 2012 single-family residence, 131 Buckhaven Drive as a 2013 single-family residence, 102 Buckhaven Drive as a 2014 single-family residence, and 100 Buckhaven Drive as a 2021 single-family residence. (Zillow) (Zillow) (Zillow) (Zillow)
Home sizes and lot sizes vary by property. Examples include 102 Buckhaven Drive at 1,626 square feet on a 0.45-acre lot, 100 Buckhaven Drive at 1,680 square feet on a 0.61-acre lot, and 131 Buckhaven Drive at 1,680 square feet on a 0.86-acre lot. (Zillow) (Zillow) (Zillow)
That pattern gives buyers useful context, but it should not be treated as a guarantee for every home. Each property should be reviewed for its own lot, layout, improvements, garage setup, fencing, drainage, and condition.
HOA, Amenities, and Neighborhood Documents
Buckhaven has repeated HOA references across multiple sources. Realtor.com lists Buckhaven HOA and an association phone number for 102 Buckhaven Drive, Zillow lists Buckhaven HOA for 121 Buckhaven Drive, and Homes.com lists Buckhaven HOA for 128 Buckhaven Drive. (Realtor) (Zillow) (Homes.com)
HOA fee information should be verified before relying on it. Zillow lists 121 Buckhaven Drive with a $285 annual HOA fee, while Homes.com lists 128 Buckhaven Drive with a $300 annual HOA fee. Those differences may reflect listing timing, property-specific reporting, or changes in association costs, so buyers should review current HOA documents and closing disclosures. (Zillow) (Homes.com)
Community Association Services also maintains a Buckhaven community page with HOA document references, which is useful for buyers and homeowners who need association-level information rather than only listing-page summaries. (Community Association Services, Inc.)
Location and Richlands Access
Buckhaven sits in the Richlands-area market, where buyers often compare subdivision homes with newer construction, larger-lot properties, and more rural options in western Onslow County. Realtor.com’s listing information for 102 Buckhaven Drive gives directions from Hwy 258 / Beulaville Highway toward Beulaville and then onto Buckhaven Drive. (Realtor)
For day-to-day planning, buyers should map the exact property address rather than relying on broad Richlands assumptions. Access back toward Jacksonville, Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River, and surrounding Onslow County areas can vary by route, time of day, school traffic, and road conditions.
Utilities, Septic, and Property-Level Due Diligence
Utility information should be confirmed for the specific home. Homes.com lists 128 Buckhaven Drive with municipal water and septic on site. (Homes.com)
That is useful property-level context, but buyers should not assume every home has identical utility or septic details without checking current documents. Important due-diligence items may include:
-
water provider and service details
-
septic permit and repair area
-
drainage and grading
-
recorded easements
-
HOA restrictions
-
fencing, shed, parking, and exterior-improvement rules
-
road and common-area maintenance responsibilities
Onslow County GIS states that it processes deed transfers, new subdivisions, and property splits and maintains cadastral maps using legally recorded instruments. Onslow County tax records also state that real property data is compiled from recorded deeds, plats, and other public records, with users directed to verify against public sources.

Buyer Considerations
Buckhaven may be useful for buyers who want a Richlands subdivision setting with an HOA identity and community amenity references. The best review is still property-specific.
Before making an offer, buyers should confirm:
-
current HOA dues, rules, and transfer fees
-
whether pool access and common-area maintenance are included
-
septic permit and utility details
-
roof, HVAC, water heater, and appliance age
-
drainage and lot grading
-
fencing or shed rules
-

Seller Considerations
For sellers in Buckhaven, the strongest marketing usually comes from verified property details. Buyers comparing Richlands subdivisions will likely pay attention to condition, floor plan, lot size, garage setup, outdoor improvements, HOA cost, amenity access, and major-system updates.
Useful seller preparation may include gathering:
-
HOA documents
-
septic information
-
utility details
-
repair and maintenance records
-
improvement receipts
-
survey or plat information, if available
-
documentation for permitted additions, fencing, sheds, or other exterior work
Because Buckhaven includes homes from different build years and lot sizes, pricing should compare the home against similar Richlands subdivision resales, not just the nearest available sale.
Bottom Line
Buckhaven is an established Richlands, NC subdivision with single-family homes, documented HOA references, and community amenity references across multiple major property sources. It fits into the broader inland Onslow County market, where buyers often compare subdivision structure, lot size, utility setup, property condition, and access back toward Jacksonville-area routes.
