Renamed in honor of Reverend Horace James, an Army chaplain who headed the Trent River Settlement in the 1860s, James City was the largest refuge in North Carolina for black men and women during the Civil War period.

James City is a census-designated place (CDP) as opposed to being recognized as an official city or town. Located in Craven County, the town boasted a population of 5,899 in the 2010 U.S. Census. It is located on the North Carolina coast, approximately halfway between Wilmington and Elizabeth City. Despite its name, James City is essentially a neighborhood of New Bern, to the point that many of the businesses within town use New Bern descriptors in their names, even when located in James City. The thin strip of land that makes up James City incorporates the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport to the north and is between Highway 70 to the west and the Neuse River to the east.

Moving to James City

Weather in James City

Due to its location along the Neuse River and Atlantic coast, residents of James City will need to be prepared for the potential of inclement weather during the hurricane season. Though snow is not common in James City, with average temperature lows during winter hovering just above freezing, snow is not unheard of in the area. Summer months can get steamy with high humidity and average temperatures in the 80 to 90 degree range.

Types of Properties

Finding townhouses and rental condos is easier than finding a rental apartment in the James City area. Using an apartments locator or a local realtor to find an apartment will yield better results, but most apartment communities are located outside of James City limits in areas such as Brice Creek to the west, New Bern to the northwest, and Fairfield Harbor across the Neuse River. For larger floor plans or premier apartment settings, renters will need to target neighboring areas, because 3 bedroom apartments are not readily available in James City. For those looking for an all utilities paid option for places to rent is challenging. The greatest possibilities for finding all inclusive options are best with a rental house, with a townhouse or condo as a secondary option. Of all rental options, rental houses are the easiest to find.

When to Move and What to Bring

Renters should allot ample time to locate properties to rent. For those who can be patient, the end of warmer weather can add possibilities to rental options as summer rentals become vacant. Renters should be prepared with a good credit report and proof of income to facilitate the rental process -- better prepared than sorry!
