Canterbury, a family-oriented neighborhood, is located off Old Tar Road as one enters the community of Winterville.

Planning and development of Canterbury began in the '80s. Additional sections have been developed through the years. So, a family can buy a home currently being sold by another family, or it can move into a home newly constructed by one of the builders investing in the neighborhood.

Home prices range from $135,000 to $200,000. Most houses are two-story traditionals with 1,600 to 2,200 square feet of heated living space. Most are of easy-maintenance vinyl or brick.

Families are very happy with the schools and the churches of the community. (See NeighborhoodFind.com/Winterville.) A home investment here usually means good and safe family living as well as a nice profit when the family moves on to another home investment. The close-knit, small community of Winterville and the neighborhood of Canterbury mean friendship, happiness, and effective child-rearing.
