About Cedar Rock

Tucked into the northern foothills of the Brushy Mountains, Cedar Rock is a quiet residential village just northeast of Lenoir along Highway 18. The community originally grew around the Cedar Rock Country Club, and life here still revolves around a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. With an Ellis Maples golf course, tennis courts, and quiet neighborhood roads winding through wooded hills, it provides a scenic, easygoing setting in the western North Carolina foothills.

Day to day, the village offers plenty of privacy while keeping everyday conveniences within easy reach. Downtown Lenoir is just a short drive down the road for local dining and errands, while the commercial hub of Hickory and the mountain getaways of Blowing Rock make for simple day trips. For anyone seeking a golf-centered neighborhood with mature trees, mountain views, and a calm pace, Cedar Rock is a great place to settle down.
