Southwest Plantation, Home of Bear Trail Golf Club is the best kept secret in Jacksonville, NC because of their mailing address.
Southwest Plantation and Bear Trail Golf Club both have Jacksonville, NC addresses. The lots themselves are recorded as Jacksonville, NC but since the Maple Hill US Postal Service has assumed mail delivery responsibilities the mailing addresses for each lot is Maple Hill. Confused yet? Homeowners within Southwest Plantation pay county taxes instead of city because they are not recognized as part of Jacksonville as a result of how the US Postal Service separated the mail service.
The lesson to take away, when searching for homes in Jacksonville on realtor.com or the many other home search websites, is to always include the surrounding areas. Because you never know what gem is sitting right on the line. Southwest Plantation is the perfect example of this. It is really in Jacksonville, just has a Maple Hill mailing address.
