southern shores REAL ESTATE

Oceanfront  Soundfront  Canalfront   The Southern Shores community consists of several thousand lots and homesites. This town started as a subdivision and then was incorporated in 1979. Situated in a beautiful coastal maritime forest, Southern Shores has many canal front and sound front properties which make it a convenient place for boating enthusiasts. Many of the streets are shaded with a wide variety of deciduous trees which make running, biking or any other form of exercise interesting. You will also notice that Southern Shores has the largest homesites when compared to almost every other subdivision on the Outer Banks. If you decide to pay the minimal voluntary civic association fee, you will be able to take advantage of the many sound side parks, sound accesses, marinas, and oceanfront parking which comes in handy on those busy summer days. Everything for fifty dollars a year! I am a Southern Shores real estate agent that not only works, but lives in this town.

Most homesites (lots) are at least 20,000 square feet, so you have plenty of room to build a new construction dream home with a builder should you decide to want to design and build the exact house that accommodates your Outer Banks needs. As a Southern Shores realtor, I understand this community intimately. You will find that this is more or less a year round and second home community, with the investment properties on the Oceanside of Route 12. On the Oceanside of highway 12, you will find the rental investment property, yet on the Westside you will enjoy the peace and quiet that this first class area has to offer. One improvement underway is the dredging of the canals to the sound front which will greatly improve access and property values of canal front homes. You also have the many conveniences of shopping right in town. Shopping is situated on 158 near the Wright Memorial Bridge and includes Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Fresh local Fish markets, just to name a few.
