Elizabeth City Real Estate
"Harbor of Hospitality"
Just west of the Outer Banks and south of Hampton Roads, Virginia, lays the town of Elizabeth City, situated along the Pasquotank River. Known as the "harbor of hospitality," Elizabeth City welcomes the public - including world travelers of the Intracoastal Waterway - to its docks for complimentary 48-hour boat dockage, free wireless internet and other waterfront amenities.
With 400 years of history under its belt, it's no wonder this small-town charmer is listed on the National Register of Historic Places with its six historic districts right in the middle of downtown. With such landmarks as the Aviation Trail, the first public school in the state of North Carolina, the site of the first North Carolina General Assembly, and the Museum of the Albemarle (located on the shore of the Pasquotank River in a brand new 50,000-square-foot facility), Elizabeth City is teeming with historical and cultural activities for everyone to explore and enjoy.
While the wealth of history that consumes the area helps to maintain its old-world ambiance, downtown Elizabeth City is up-and-coming because of its close proximity to nearby Hampton Roads. Combined with a warm and inviting demeanor, the community's convenient location brings young families, military families, and even those who wish to retire, together in an area that can benefit just about anyone. Additional attractions in the community include a state-of-the-art hospital, three colleges within the region, and a strong military presence. With the location of the United States Coast Guard Air Station nearby, residents enjoy a great sense of security, lower crime rates and a quality of life beyond compare.
There are many planned developments in the Elizabeth City area including Planters Run, Newbegun Land, Queenswood, Windfield, Pine Lake and many more. Offering unique amenities and conveniences, residents of such developments enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. Even further, the wide selection of housing options and price ranges enables homebuyers to find a place that will suit their needs as well as their budget.
Camden Real Estate
Located adjacent to the major metropolitan area of Hampton Roads, Virginia and the beaches of the Outer Banks, Camden lies along the Pasquotank and North rivers as well as the Albemarle Sound. Home to approximately 9,200 residents, the people of this community enjoy quiet living and a rich history.
The convenient location of Camden is a significant reason as to why this community is so attractive to more and more newcomers each year. Because Virginia is in close proximity, and is therefore easy to commute to, many people come to Camden to live, finding such advantages as low crime rates, low taxes, great schools and a close-knit community atmosphere.
As the eldest manmade waterway in the United States, the Great Dismal Swamp is a key landmark of Camden with its listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Once serving as part of the Underground Railroad, the "dismal" and murky swamp was a means of freedom for many during slavery. Today, the Great Dismal Swamp is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, which provides residents easy access to other places along the route. Residents can learn more about the Great Dismal Swamp canal and its creation at the Camden County Heritage Museum, whose exhibits cover a variety of diverse topics including the logging industry, the Civil War, slavery, women’s history and much more.
Students of Camden attend the Camden County School System, which despite being one of the smallest in North Carolina, is making major advancements towards improving education. One such advancement includes the recent establishment of CamTech High School. Sponsored by the Bill Gates Foundation, CamTech uses today’s technologies and hands-on learning to teach students the skills and knowledge to lead successful lives in the “real world.”
The Camden real estate market has seen an increase in the development of new homes thanks to the economy and businesses of the local and regional area. Housing options include single family homes, condos and townhouses, and land properties on which to build your dream home.
