North Carolina Real Estate

North Carolina's two best features lie on the far east and west boundaries of the state. Two opposite but extremely beautiful landscapes greet you on either side. The Appalachian Mountain chain runs through the western part of the state, forming the lush landscape of the region. The Great Smoky Mountains are in-fact one of the country's top natural destinations, with the famous Blue Ridge Parkway winding through North Carolina's mountains. On the east, warmed by the Gulf Stream, the North Carolina coast is a place filled with sunny beaches, giant sand dunes and wetlands.

Separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Outer Banks, Albemarle Sound offers homes in a few major cities, including:  Elizabeth City, Camden,and Hertford. Several rivers flow into the Sound, including the Pasquotank and the Perquimans.   Situated on the banks of the Pasquotank River is Elizabeth City, with a modest—but growing—population of 37,000,  Elizabeth City was  ranked by Coastal Living as one of the best places to live on the coast, making it a great place to buy property. Hertford offers an array of real estate opportunities with over 400 properties on the market. 

Camden is a small town located near Elizabeth City in northeastern North Carolina.  Residents enjoy quiet living and a strong sense of community in this area situated along the Pasquotank River. Town history is important here. Camden is a smart place to buy a home or invest in real estate.
