complimented with large homes ranging anywhere from 2,000 square feet to 8,000 square
feet. Pine Island is the Community noted for some of the most upscale Homes on
the Outer Banks. These homes, in some cases, generate more than $100,000 per
year in rental income! Other communities include: Whalehead, Corolla Light,
Buck Island, Monteray Shores, Currituck Club, Ocean Hill, and Ocean Sands.
Areas north of the paved road (where there are no paved roads!) include
Carova, Penny's Hill, and Swan Beach ... all you need is a 4 wheel drive and a little time
to enjoy driving the beach (watch out for the tree stumps!). Notable Landmarks
include ... the Corolla Lighthouse and the Whalehead Club - both listed National
Historical Registry. In season, you can climb the interior of the Lighthouse
... what an incredible ocean to sound view that is! Another growing area of the County is
across the Wright Memorial Bridge ... Currituck Mainland! The growth in this
area is being spurred by the development on the Beach, and there’s lots of room left! |
