If your search centers on MCAS New River in Jacksonville, this page sorts the new construction communities I track in Onslow County by straight line distance to the air station. Of the 39 communities in the towns around the bases, 35 have a location published by the builder and appear in the table below; the other 4 have only an approximate pin and are left out.

How I measure: miles are straight line from the community location the builder published to the OpenStreetMap point for the MCAS New River airfield. That point is not a gate, so your drive will be longer, and drive times depend on the gate you use and the time of day. Map your own commute before you choose.
