KITTY HAWK REAL ESTATE - sales

Oceanfront   Soundfront   Canalfront    Kitty Hawk is where the Wright Brothers made their first flight back in the beginning of the twentieth century. It is one of the most recognized towns on the Outer Banks. When it comes to real estate here,there are a few things you should be aware of. One, Kitty Hawk real estate on the Westside of highway 158 offers some of the nicest communities for year-round living. There are canalfront and soundfront homes on this side of the town. When it comes to the east side of highway 158, you want to be mindful of erosion along the beach road. The oceanfront properties are generally endangered there. Wherever possible, many of these homes have been moved back on their respective lots. I generally do not recommend buying property on the oceanfront in Kitty Hawk. If you are seaarching the MLS for oceanfront homes and you see something for under $500,000, there's a good reason forit. And that reason is.....IT MAY FALL INTO THE OCEAN. Once a lot has lost enough land to the point where it cannot accommodate a septic field it will lose most of its value. Beach "pushes" are still common to protect this type of land, but only provides a short-term solution to a long-term natural occurrence..
