Knollwood Village
Knollwood Village is the Sandhills’ largest and oldest 55+ community — about 240 homes built between 1959 and 2000, tucked into Southern Pines within reach of its historic downtown. It’s resale-only, characterful, and a different proposition from the newer low-maintenance communities.
The basics
| Location | Southern Pines, NC (Moore County) — near the walkable downtown and Amtrak station |
|---|---|
| Age restriction | 55+ age-restricted |
| Size | ~240 homes — the largest 55+ community in the area |

| Availability | Resale only (no new construction) |
| Home types | A mix of attached homes, condos, and detached houses |
Why buyers choose Knollwood
- Location and walkability. Southern Pines’ downtown — shops, restaurants, the brewery scene, Amtrak — is a genuine draw, and Knollwood puts you close to it.
- Variety and entry price. With attached homes, condos, and houses across four decades of construction, there’s a wider range of styles and price points than a single-builder community — including some of the more affordable ways into a 55+ home here.
- Established character. Mature trees, settled streets, a real neighborhood feel rather than a new subdivision.
- No mandatory golf club. Like the other true 55+ communities, golf is off-site and optional.
Who it’s right for
Buyers who prize walkable Southern Pines living, want variety and a friendlier entry price, and are comfortable buying an older home (and inspecting it thoroughly). If you’d rather have newer, uniform, low-maintenance product in Pinehurst proper, compare it against the flagship on the Pinehurst Trace vs. Knollwood comparison, and see the numbers on the true cost page.
