The Bluffs on Cape Fear Reviews

3.5 / 5 (9 reviews)
"Large lots, well maintained, gated community, current and future amenities. Looked at various other gated communities and none of them offered the space and settings (ie: this place actually has trees and not clear cut lots most of the others). Beautiful Green spaces, River access, natural wetland. Great neighbors."

"The property is beautiful, except that our lot is obviously back filled wetlands. There are sinkholes throughout the community. Nobody does what they promise past the point of sale."
