Cedar Point is served by highly rated schools, including White Oak Elementary, Broad Creek Middle, and Croatan High, all part of the Carteret County Public Schools system. The neighborhood features a mix of condos and single-family homes, with architectural styles ranging from manufactured homes and bungalows to neo-traditional designs and coastal-colored farmhouses. Many waterfront properties include private docks and boat slips, offering scenic views of the Intracoastal Waterway, White Oak River, or Pettiford Creek. Cedar Point offers numerous outdoor activities, with marinas like Dudley’s Marina and parks such as Boathouse Creek Park and Cedar Point Recreation Area providing opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and kayaking. The sports-focused Western Park includes playgrounds, sports fields, and courts. CedarFest, held each October, is a popular family event featuring live music, craft vendors, and children's activities. The commercial corridor along state Highway 24 is lined with small businesses, retailers, and local restaurants like Bogue House Restaurant and Angie’s Lighthouse Café. Cedar Point is safer than the national average, with a crime score lower than the national average. The neighborhood is well-connected by state Highways 24 and 58, providing access to nearby towns and cities such as Jacksonville and Morehead City.
